Are there any head-fi members in the Birmingham area? Just would be interesting to know. I have done quite a bit of business with a local high-end dealers who told me that I was the only person who ever asks about various phones and phone related paraphenalia.

Hmmm, I'd be surprised if most people in Alabama could even spell headphone...

(Sorry, sorry, just kidding--I used to live in Atlanta, so it's a a conditioned response.)

Ah, the intellegensia rears its ugly head.

Yes this is an ancient thread, but I was going to start a new one for the exact same purpose. So. Any takers? If not, than I'm glad I could bring the grand total to 2.

Might catch more head-fiers if we expanded and included the entire southern region. Add MS to this and we'd have a total of 3. MS is the other side of AL anyway.

Ha, the fact that we're talking about two entire states (granted to many, they are the buttcrack of the country) and we're only up to 3 people is very funny to me.

Well, there's a few of us here. A couple have some very amazing rigs. One of them(The Wuss) and I have had several two person meets, we would love to get others involved. Another one of us(Trav) is the one who organized the Canlanta which took place a couple of weeks ago.

New to the forum...just discovered that there's another world beyond 'run of the mill' consumer headphones (although I do own a pair of Ultimate Ears IEM's that I purchased from BestBuy a couple years ago, but not sure of the model number).  Seems like I paid around $60 for them.
 
I picked up a copy of Headphone Guide from Walmart and all of my spare time now is about assessing the best buy for me for around $100.  I've printed out the 189 pages of the guide on here and I'm currently going through ALL of the models trying to decide what would be best for me.
 
So far I like the JVC HA-FXT90.  Has a high sound rating, a high overall rating and no 'cons' in the summation, and the price looks good.
 
As far as the negative comments about the South...look around...there's a LOT of GREAT THINGS that come from Alabama and Georgia, and yeah, we can even spell.
