[Mikeer2002Ph]

Hello there everyone!

I am Mikee.

I hail from Manila, Philippines,

I am an old timer with 2 channel home audio but a recent victim of a head-fi head-on collision.

My head-fi journey though started in the mid 1980s with a hand-me down Sony WalkmanPro D6C and a pair of Sony earbuds (I forgot the model) - this is the one that looks like an earbud with a headband

Fast forward 2018 and this is what I use now

just got approve!

hey everyone! before subscribing to this site, i was searching far and wide for a replacement to my olden ipod that wouldn't turn on anymore. i wanted out of the ios ecosystem since i prefer drm-free media. head-fi.org helped me make a decision and purchase the Cowon Plenue D; yes, it has its flaws but ranks among the best. it carries a hefty price tag (200 euros where i am and it got a 20 euro discount like 3 days after i bought it damn). the cheapest case i found was 50 euros, too. but i feel it's an investment for the long term and i will tace good care of it.

anyhow i am a complete newb in this domain and i hope to learn a lot from the pros. hell, i never thought about FLAC or stuff like that before a week ago. and now i am knees-deep into it and building my library into something nifty.

treat me well!

Using the HD650 with the beresford TC-7520SE and hope I can get a nice upgrade with the help of this site.

Hello everyone,

Audio enthusiast from Vancouver BC here.

My humble set up is composed by:

Creative Sound Blaster X7
Kanto YUMI/YU5/SYD + Klipsch KSW10 in 5.1 configuration
Audio-Technica ATLP-120 (modded without the USB circuit) + Kagaoka MP-110
Bugle2 phono Preamp
AKG K7XX Headphones

Currently My SB X7 has some issues so hopefully I will gain some insight about it in this site.
Thank you!

Hi all, my name is Terozzz.. I was back in the late 80s to 90s some sort of Hi-Fi narc with THX one system, the i got poor (wife came along ) Now in older days i found my passion again in the headphone cos they won't occupy all living room Started with AKG 712 PROs and in the same month i went nuts and got DAC (dragonforce black) and ofc i needed more and more so i found good deal with Audioquest nighthawk carbons and took them home. now after month or so my hunger grows and grows and i am bit worried What is the next step? To this im wanting to find answer with you gearheads

After a decade of lurking and comparing IEM's and full size headphones I finally decided to make an account.

Current gear includes Audioengine D1 DAC (in need of an upgrade soon) > Lyr 2 amp with Russian voshkod (silver rocket) tubes > Sennheiser HD650.

Use Shure SE215's with my iPhone X at the gym or work, but looking to get something with less sibilance. Interested in IE800/IE800S, CA Andromeda, Vega II etc.

It's good to finally be able to contribute to the forum in some way.

Been lurking for maybe a year or two now, have always found impression threads helpful when picking up new toys. Im a big fan of postrock and enjoy majority of its sub genre, running portable most of time. Hopefully i can make some sort of contribution to this line of hobby.
