Hello my name is Bill.

I have been an audiophile most of my life. I have read many articles on Head-fi and finally decided to join.

I play drums & guitar.

Head-Fi I presently have is

Kann DAP by Astell & Kern with Cardas Audio A8 ear buds, (balanced and unbalanced) & a JBL Extreme Bluetooth speaker.

Headphones: AKG K270, Sennheiser HD 420

Home Stereo is a
Amplifier: Krell KSA 300s watt amp
Speakers: Monitor Audio Platinum PL300 Series
Digital: Kann DAP (memory cards ScanDisk Lexar & Samsung Micro 125Gb cards and 525 ScanDisk CD card.) hooked into the stereo with Cardas balanced cable.
Analog: SME 10 turntable
Phono cartridge: Benz Ruby 3
Preamp: Bryston BP 26
Phono Preamplifier: Bryston MM/MC
Cassette: Nakamichi KX -505 with auto reverse
CD player: Arcam 23 CD player
FM Tuner: Magnum Dynalab MD 90
AM Tuner: NAD 4150
Speaker Cables: Cardas
Interconnect Cables: Cardas, Nordost purple flare and Randall Reseach XT’s
Balanced cables: Cardas

CD’s approximately 2000, Records approximately 1000.
Music: Blues, Jazz, classical, rock, country.

I find that with my Kann that I can put almost a TB of music on the DAP. I find that I’m not playing much of my CD’s anymore. Also I can Bluetooth the music in my car. This is really nice on long drives across country.

Hey there! I've started using this forum a lot recently and have gained a lot of insight about and read different views on low to high end audio equipment and hope to increase my knowledge about the subject.
I've also just recently bought some high quality headphones including DT 990s, AKG K712s, and HD 6XXs and am currently looking for good deals on amps to drive them.

Hi, long time lurker. I mostly listen to music on my phone, I have a HTC 10, and I use it without an amp cause I'm too lazy to carry an extra piece of equipment and will 100% forget to charge it. I currently have a few choice items with help from reading here

Audio Technica MSR7
Shure SE535 LTD
Fender FXA5

I had been mostly happy with absorbing knowledge but recently my phone croaked and need a new phone. I'm not sure about these new phones without a headphone jack and need help and recommendations.
