Hello. Lifelong drummer/percussionist, I have taken about a 5 year break from really playing and am starting to learn more about high end audio. My home theater was a blast to set up with my 7.2 Onkyo TX-NR737 A/V receiver and Infinity Primus P363 Towers to start out. I have the whole 7.2 set up with pre-wired speaker outlets/binding posts throughout the room. I refinished my basement and did the blue "Smurf tube" and Monoprice 12 AWG speaker wire. I really want to get a smaller stereo setup in my bedroom with a PS Audio Sprout 2 and some bookshelves. What brought me to this site was a search about the Echo Dot DAC. I have 3 so I can do synced whole house audio.

Thanks.

Hello. My first post. I am new to this hobby though I love music all my life. Got myself a DAC and a pair of nice headphones a month ago and already I am eyeing other hardware. That's why I'm here, to learn from you guys, though I've been reading this forum for quite a while now. I listen mainly to classical music though I like all music, from pop, rock, jazz, country, you name it. I also try to play some bagpipes from time to time.

Hi there. Bought my first pair of Headphones B&W px a couple of months ago. Realy happy with them. I would love a pair of high end cans with a nice amp. I hope this forum will lead the way

Hello everyone! Join edup the other day in pursuit of some headphone happiness.

 

[kevlar51]

I really shouldn't have joined up. I told myself I was fine with my current setup, but are we ever really fine?

Hi. I've lurked here off and on (mostly off) for a long time, and was a bit surprised to realize I'd never signed up for an account (I might have gotten head-fi mixed up with headwize). I've been listening to a pair of Sennheiser HD600 driven by a Headroom The Max, with a Sony C333ES as the source since 2000. I recently started looking around for some closed headphones, and am curious about what's changed in headphone amps in the last 18 years or so.

Hi all. I'm relatively new to the audio world but I definitely want to get more into it. I've been looking around for a few weeks and this place seems to have a lot of great information so hopefully I can learn a lot here and get some questions answered!

Hey guys,,,
I'm new here...Just an average jo that's not obsessed with high-end gear, but obsessed with listening to music. I do enjoy little tools to help the sound out to tickle my ears a little more though.

I currently own the:

PA2V2 Pocket Amp (Great little amp, buit personally in Toronto by a very nice guy)
Sennheiser HD-25's (One of my favorites for punchy/quick music)
Grado MS1 (Great for rock/metal/easy listening...not electronic)
Koss KSC75 (A great/cheap headphone that can perform much better with an amp)

I do plan on getting the Magni/Modi/Loki setup maybe in the summer, I am someone who fiddles with the EQ quite a bit, so I'd prefer knobs, I use the Equalizer APO right now though...great little tool.

I won't be posting a lot, but I will but doing a lot of research for new products, I will ask the occasional question!

Hi Guys,

Thank you for allowing me to join this community, I have noticed is a very close and friendly group. I live in Puerto Rico, and yes, I survived hurricane Maria this past September. I have been an audio enthusiast since my early college days, I am now retired. I decided to start using my Sennheiser HD-580 which were collecting dust and it’s time to start enjoying them. I am here to learn and to share my experiences. Once again, thank you.

Cesar

I LOVE the 580’s! I own a pair of 600’s but I for brass instruments I would prefer the 580. Glad you’re enjoying them

Hello
I'm somewhat experience to this community since I don't need to relies on my discord to discuss hifi . So I came to this forum to seek new and revolutionary stuff in this forum.My first headphone get me to this community is the meme-series (meme40x) but I failed
attempt to repair the headphone. So at discord people reccomend me the k612 or the dt880. I chosen k612 for the tight budget and focusing the money on my planned setup..

I also, came here for the diyers as well...

I found the DT880 to be way too bright personally. I liked the pads and feel but for the treble a lone that was a big pass for me. Glad your enjoying the cans you got!

hey, I'm just a really gay nerdy weeb girl who hates people and is for some reason getting into high end audio. nice to meet you

This post was excellent! Might be the best I ever read on here, no messing....

Have fun here, and welcome!!
