Good to see some of the familiar names I remember well. Sad to see so many changes on Head-Fi, progress I suppose.
Any old fart head-fi'ers still around?

When'd you get a custom title like that?
Back when kelly, grinch, Audio&Me were causing all kinds of trouble on head-fi. I went along for the ride because we were unhappy with the changes being adopted around here at the time. I'm guessing 2003?
I've calmed down a lot since then

Haha, those are some names that bring back memories, as are many of those that have posted in this thread...

I received a request to see some pics of my BHSE Stax rig, but I sold that back in 2011 or 2012.
Most days I listen to speakers, but late night sessions have pulled psychoacoustics back into play.
Nice to see some familiar names in this thread that I recognize.

I remember bugging you about Sony portable CD players.
The thought of toting around a PCDP and a bundle of CDs makes me shudder now.

I'm back. For a short while I hope because if I stay too long I'll end up with a Stax setup. Have bought and sold an HD580, HD600, an early HD650, another HD600, an HD800, and am thinking about *one* more HD600. Actually the HD800 would probably be ideal, but maybe the HD700 might work better with my hearing, that's rolled off in the HF.
Have a want ad listed for an Anedio D2, and maybe I should stick with IEM's and get a higher end model? All this from stopping by looking into new computer speakers. Of course a Stax setup will want a really nice USB to SPDIF transport....

Sometimes I have fantasies of wandering around with a Mini Disc player and one of those baby minidisc binders.
Mmmmmm the impracticality.

Haha, yes - I had a PM from a member the other day asking me if I would recommend the Sony D33, sadly I remember (when comparing to the 2nd gen iPod at the time) saying that I would stick with PCDPs, haha - that so isn't true anymore (just a quick look at my signature below will confirm that I'm still a portable person, but - in a very different direction!)

Well my kid's old enough to want headphones of his own - he wanted beats of course, but I managed to compromise with him by getting the urban-oriented Sennheiser Urbanite XL Instead. Yes, lots of bass, but not offendingly so.

Jahn! You're alive! Good job with the little one. I can't believe he's old enough to want headphones! I guess the last time I saw you guys was like 9 years ago. I'm actually having one of my own in August , and this is my last week in NYC! Heading to Boston...
