I've always been curious if any headphone engineers visit Head-Fi. Anyone know of or seen any around here? Or post if you are one...

Sugarfried is a Shure rep, he posts regularly. Tyll, the owner of Head Room, is also a regular poster... and there's a guy from Etymotic who drops by every now and then. oh, and i think Ray Samuels stops by once in awhile. then there are the assorted DIYers...

don't know if anyone is actually a "headphone engineer"... but they're all in the biz.

I recently accepted a position at Sennheiser on their development team. I look forward to working with certain Head-Fi'ers during the development and testing of, well...you'll find out.

HD700?

I hope the HD700 will be far out of my pricerange, because an HD650 is due to arrive at my house tomorrow, and I don't want anything like an HD700 coming out for around the same price!

Does John Grado ever post here?

No, but I remember him saying he lurks here pretty regularly in the excellent interview Zanth conducted with him last summer.

I've seen Norm from GoVibe fame post before.

I've seen participation from a guy who works at Westone - one thread included him asking for advice on what head-fiers would want in the perfect IEM.

I'm not sure if Ray/Tyll are headphone engineers...

Yeah, I'm sure everyone who frequents head-fi knows of all the headphone amp builders and designers who post here. But I haven't noticed and headphone designers (from Senn, Grado, AKG, Shure, etc...) post on here. If not many post, it's probably due to NDAs or something and leaking too much information. I'm sure they must at least lurk around here from time to time to see how their products are being recieved.

What do you mean Tyll isn't a headphone engineer?

I thought there was someone affiliated with AKG here. I don't recall his job function.
