New Member Introductions thread

[greylistener]

Hi everyone,

After continuously finding myself here reading useful and informative posts as a result of Google searches, I figured I'd better join.
Spent many a year enjoying audio, but never to the level of the folks around here. Much more reading and learning to come.

Hello to everyone!

Been wandering in the forum for a while now so I decided to become part of it.
Not an audiophile but you know, I want the best xD

Hello everyone,
New member here. I’ve been benefiting from fantastic reviews and discussions of head-fi for years as a non-member, and now finally taking a chance to be part of it. Head-fi is a wonderful community.

Hi guys, I'm new to HiFi. The most Hifi headphones I have are Sony MDR-V6's. Youtube recommended a video yesterday about upgrading iPods with flashcards and scrapping the hard drive. So after finding my old 5th gen iPod Video, which happens to be broken (white screen) and spending an entire evening researching how to upgrade it, I realized I have probably the most capable Hifi iPod ever made. Internal Wolfson DAC which can be modded with capacitors to hardwire it to the dock. My research led me to a thread here so here I am. I want to load up my lossless collection and add more onto my iPod to have a portable and acceptable hi-fi listening solution. I lke that I can plug it into my car stereo and have access to much better quality songs than what streaming or satellite services offer. So i have an iFlash quad microSD card board, a 512gb microSD card, their capacitor kit, and a 3000mAh battery on the way. Now I have to find a good pair of IEMs to go with this once its built. Also, if anyone has any recommendations to polish the scratches off of the plastic face and metal back of an iPod I would appreciate that.

Hello,

I've been a lurker for many years but never created an account. I'm not new to the hobby but certainly have a lot still to learn. I only have two headphones at the moment (fidelio x2 and Sony 1000xm3). I tend to buy and test out a lot but rarely keep any. Maybe someday I'll find 'the one'.

Hi guys, so i am new to this forum and to the audio world. At moment i have a e10k with 770 250 ohm and 58x's

 

[cytherian]

Just joined after being a lurker for several years. My gear isn't audiophile level, but I'm looking to get there eventually. What I own:
Best IEM: Soundmagic E10 (from 6 years ago), followed by ES18.
Best headphone: Sennheiser HD280, followed by Avantree Audition.
So, I have my work cut out for me.

Presently on hunt for better earbuds. The E10's are great, but a little sibilant on treble, light on bass. Otherwise articulate. The ES18's have better bass but highs roll off. Looking for "sweet+warm" earbuds for around $50 USD, possibly higher if it's really worth it.
