Hello,
Normally I just read and run, but since I bothered to actually join here I suppose I should introduce myself.
I am approaching the half-century mark and finally find myself in a position to actually spend more than $10 on a set of headphones, so I have a lot of catching up to do to fulfill my teenage dream of audio bliss. I dunno if it is nostalgia, aesthetics or budget (or most likely some indefinable combination of all) but I find myself drawn to vintage 'phones or models that reek strongly of a '50's to '70's influence. I also like to pretend I'm crafty, so I have a tendency to look at the more modable options. Between the weeks spent reading here and those two little personality quirks I suppose it's no surprise I have a pair of beat-up Grado 60's on the way from the miasma of "that auction site."
Anyway, my participation here will undoubtedly tend heavily toward the lurking end of the spectrum--but just in case I do find reason to post a comment or ask a question of my own, here's a bit of "who I am" for the record
