I haven't been on this site in years (literally), but about seven years ago I was a very active memeber of this site! I've owned the r10, l3000, several stax models, majority of the highest end grados (ps1,hp-1,rs-1,alessendro's) and tried pretty much everything that was at the time a major headliner at the time (he90, omega I and II).
Anyway looking to set up a little system for my home and although I don't really know what the amp/source will be yet- i've always liked to build things around the headphones rather then much of anything else.
I see a lot of high end headphones have come out, hd800, e8, grado has the their new 1000... to be honest I'm sort of lost and could you some advice hahaa! Are any of these clear cut better headphones then what I have owned? Or merely rivals at cheaper price points?
I need the cliff notes as to which headphones I should skip/check out!
