as for myself in such a short time i have been influenced and inspired from others in their love and passion for headphones.

the vast amount of knowledge here is incredible!

My wallet is much lighter now than it used to be!

It's all about the friends and enemies that you make.

There have been so much that I've benefitted since joining Head-Fi, but just to name a few:

Made quite a lot of online friends who share the same interests in audio or otherwise.

Learned quite alot from reading the many posts in the various forums, knowledge which I might have not gotten had I not stumbled into this site.

Learned to listen and appreciate music a little differently than I used to. I learned to appreciate other forms of music such as Classical and Jazz both of which I never had any interest in before joining Head-Fi.

Lastly, the extremely thin wallet that never seems to be full as it once used to be

Because of this site:
-Made a few friends. (hopefully fewer enemies)
-Made a few purchases that I'm happy with.
-Made a few sales that I'm happy with.
-Recieved some of the most useful computer related advice here (I do IT for a living)
-lost a lot of sleep. (hmm.....

, I'm not sure this one qualifies......)
-spent less on magazines.
-watch less TV (definate benefit!)

Met cool people.
Heard cool gear.
Rediscovered all of my music.
Tested the strength of my marriage.

I became a regular AFTER getting some nice headphones (HD 600), but this site encouraged me to invest in a nice amp and a tube amp at that! The tube mania really keeps one going!
Of course, after being hooked, head-fi provides all kinds of information and entertainment!
And since I am not a huge internet user, I end up using Head-fi as a base for "filtered" links.

It has fine-tuned my bull**** detector.

The best benefit that I got from headfi is meeting you guys. This is first & by far the best forum I have been in ever. Id also like to mention that this is the most expensive?

i've learned about audio, good sound, and a fine appreciation for what i have, and how good it can get : ]

I've heard amazing systems at meets, i came along way i believe, and this point as my interest and experience developed, i can truly appreciate the quality of gear i have, how it sounds, and it is exactly and pefectly what i want out of an audio system.

I can say this from having about a years worth of upgraditis when i started, to settling in what my stuff about 8 months ago (with small parralel shifts in perhaps cables etc) I love my setup.

I also met alot of real nice people that give me advice in many ways (and i see have patience in dealing with my annoying posts)

true appreciation for this place.

Amateur gimmicks - what one needs is not the detector, but the deflector!

Anyway, for myself, I've practiced my English, met quite a few fellow collectors - and compared to writing articles for the job, it's a more personal and direct form of spreading some knowledge and information as well as providing some entertainment (hopefully).

Before HeadFi I would have surmised that Flavor of the Month had something to do with ice cream...

Well my ears, and my knowledge of audio have benefited, but I can't say the same about my wallet.
