BIG POPPA
Headphoneus Supremus
In The Seattle Area we average 4 meets a year. It just takes a little determination. You have to make your opportunity to listen to gear. The more gear you listen to, the easier it is to define your sound.

If you catch the audiophile disease then you will develop a bad relationship with your wallet. If you honestly love the sound of your cans as they are then love them and leave it at that. BTW you can just get one of the more expensive soundblaster cards that gives you a volume knob on the front of your case (or on a separate box). @MomijiTMO We should just get this two person meet going... although if you can wait a while I may have some nice new gear by then. |
