After seeing this post, I had to log back on to say”HI.” I don’t actively post like I used to but still around!

I'm only here for 6.5 years but feel like an old fart....................60+ headphones owned or auditioned and loving the audio life. Like both my headphones (HE-6SE primarily, Pioneer SE Master 1, Denon LA7000 which I bought 6 years ago and still adore!, LCD-2C all out of vintage amps. Pioneer vintage amps my first love and they drive all these headphones like a champ...............as well as driving my Cerwin Vega DX-5 speakers. I guess I'm an old fart (58 years old) with a love for old stuff.

I started listening to headphones in the mid 1970s. Sennheiser and Koss was put on my head and my eyes got big. Had a set of nice Koss headphones in the early 1980s.....but didn’t really consider headphones audiophile? Had the Sony V6 and then around the mid 1990s purchased the Sony MDR-CD-870 Headphones. Still reading audiophile magazines in the 1990s I saw expensive Grado headphones. I thought wow, those are expensive; they must sound good.

It was a funny thing walking into that audiophile shop in 1995 to buy the Grado headphones. They didn’t have any headphones but pushed me into this room to hear a multichannel Steely Dan SACD? It all made me miss my tube amp and Sony 870s? Fast Forward till I saw AKG-701s in a Guitar Center? I went on-line in 2006 and saw Tyll Hertsens with a pair of k701s on smiling? Here was these people at a show or meet, and they were really into headphones? What is this place, who are these people? Wow... they really are into headphones? I had used headphones regularly since 1982, but I guess I wasn’t aware of how far I could go?

Yup, still alive. Actually just logged in to check, when exactly I got my Grado SR80s.

Haven't been Head-Fi'ing since 2016, but after getting a PM about an old tube rolling article I figured I'd check in. Currently I only have a pair of Sony WH-1000XM2 noise-cancelling headphones, but they sure do a lot for the coin. Portable, quiet, comfy, good quality. Hard to beat the convenience.

I've recently developed a wristwatch hobby which is quickly becoming dangerous. Also own 30 pinball machines and run the Roanoke Pinball Museum in Roanoke, VA. Lots of music, DJ'ing, games, contests... fun times. Figure I might get back into headphoneville once I settle down. Building a B&B here too. The House of Pinball!

At what age does one become an old fart?

The secret to that can be found in the mirror.

I'll have to visit your B&B having come of age in the 80s and running an arcade as a teenager. I also own an XM3 and did own the original XM which was stolen while in France. Funny enough I also have a penchant for wristwatches myself although the funds to immerse myself in two addictions are quite limited.

If you have to ask, you already know the answer.

It’s not age related.....exactly.

Age is a state of old mind. It gets to a point where if you get old enough, you forget how old you are, and that's the best thing. And then you walk around kind of like in a fog.

Speaking of fog. I wish I was a vampire. Or is that mist.
