Hello everyone, I have been learning from this site for years. I've finally joined the community and hope that I can contribute my experiences in the audiophile world for the betterment of others. I aim to be a positive voice in the community and want nothing more than to help others as much as you've all helped me in my quest for audio knowledge.

Greetings all, I probably won't be posting all that much, but figured I'd at least go ahead and follow the instructions on my initial PM welcome and get 1 on the books in this forum.

I enjoy the site and keep it up as one of my default browser tabs. I've mainly been watching to see what went up for sale, possibly to add a cable, accessory, or even new headphone or amp to my office space, but did use the forums while researching headphones before ultimately buying the Focal Utopias last year.

Arriving tomorrow....Massdrop X Noble Kaiser 10 Universal IEMs

Contemplating/Stalking in the future a good deal on...Chord Hugo 2, Sennheiser HD800s, and possibly the HD820s

Initial post...complete.

Bienvenido!

It's nice to see people from South America over here. I'm from Colombia and the audiophile community here isn't as strong as in other countries.

Where are you from? How's the hobby in your country?

Hello IkSak, i'm from Paraguay. So i'm really glad to talk to a Colombian!, we love colombian culture here, vallenato!!. I don't know any person here who is searching audio quality here in Paraguay. people don't understand the difference, but there is a big difference in quality. i just bought the sony mdr z1r and it change my perspective, and currently pairing it with the plenue 1, and is really nice pairing, but i hope to find a nw-mw1a to upgrade that sound. Saludos!

Recently bought the 1More Quads and a Schiit Multidac. This place can be bad for your wallet.

The mt8, while not perfect, with k712, is my favorite. If the srh 940 wasn’t made of the worst plastic ever made, i’d continue to listen to that... but it is. and if my se425 wasn’t taken by an ass..le i’d not end to listen these cheap but wonderful marshall mode, a very underrated set. Being a father my addiction is very careful... so i decided not to spend more than 250/pair, and not to have more than an open, a closed and a in ear. Thank you

Welcome! Way a road you've walked!

 

[scotjo]

Now that I'm part of the conversation, where should I start? Headphones, DAP, or DAC/Amp? I've heard I should focus on the component closest to the ears, and work backwards. My current DAPs include a 4th gen iPod(with a wheel, not a touch), a Benjie S5, and a phone (Moto Z Droid, with PowerAmp). My headphone preferences are over the ear cans while stationary, or earbuds while in motion. I have some Monks and Vidos, which I really like, but I'm open to any and all suggestions. I'm looking for good value, not top of the line (yet, give me time).

 

[IkSak]

Hi, and welcome again

Where to start largely depends on your interest and your budget, although there consensus is that headphones are the most important part of the chain. That said, your question belongs to the recommendation forum, so feel free to post it there.
