You would not be alone; the viewerbase vs registered users is a ‘big delta’; I know I had read exhaustively for the better part of a decade before some muppet spouting poop on a lot of top tier parts and writing damning reviews on great kit (they didn’t understand how to use) riled me up to create an account and ‘say something’ (they did things like run the digital out from their MAC at half volume, into DAC/amps they would then turn up to hissing, and then review top end headphones,.. whilst I was polite about pointing out how to fix their setup, that user had my posts removed…Hello everyone!!!

which brings me to want to ask: any pressing stresses going on in life right now? (are you recessing under head-fi?) the notion of going to critical listening means I reckon you either have some new experience to enjoy, OR are just trying to shut the world out…Hello Head-Fi,
Listening to Music is my favorite past time!!
I listen to a variety of music, mainly Jazz, R&B and Hip Hop. Lately, I find myself listening on average 4-6 hours daily, sometimes upwards to 10 hours.
My focus now is critical listening…. Which brings me to this community.
I'd look at the Shure KSE1200, since you are already into electrostatics.- no iem’s need to explore decent ones to if they work for me or not
Thanks.1. Cobalt, Cayin R6, Qudelix 5k, ifi Go Blu or Go Bar, Fiio BTR5

Do you already have an amp? Or are you looking for a desktop DAC/amp combo?
Welcome! Try Forzaworks in Poland.Hi everyone,
would like to say hello. I'm retired and music lover, mostly Jazz and Classic Rock. Have put together equipment for headphone listening:
- Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital (dac for music from computer)
- Shanling EM5 (streamer/dac/headphone amp)
- FiiO M9 (dap)
- Headphones: Meze 99 Classics, Meze 99 Neo, Hifiman Edition XS and Sony WH-1000XM4
I hope you like it. I also have first question: Can you help me find EU based internet store for headphone cables (2.5 and 4.4 mm). Thank you.
I'd just buy the best you can afford right now, otherwise you'll want to upgrade very soon.Wondering if I should buy cheaper equipment first and upgrade over time or go straight for my wallets jugular haha!
The danger is if you go for the jugular you may not 'appreciate' what you have, without coming up through the ranks, if you know what I mean. Of course coming up takes a long time and a lot of spending, but that's the hobby.Hi Head-Fi,
Came across the site a few days ago while searching for sites other than eBay that sells audio equipment. Very new to all this, I like a variety of music but mostly metal and 90's pop punk.
Currently, I have Sony WH-1000XM3 and Fiio BTR5. I've been looking into setups for music and gaming. I was contemplating Audio Technica ATH-R70x and a Schiit Hel or a Schiit Magni 3 Heresy and Modi 3e stack but I am very tempted by the Sennheiser HD800s, Magnius and Modius stack.

I think this is exactly the case with the KSE1200, when people don't appreciate the high definition sound because they haven't had experience with the mid tier IEMs. In result of not experiencing how much tips can change an IEM, they don't take the time to find the correct tips that give the right seal and fit for their ears. In result of their inexperience, they miss out on the glorious electrostatic bass, which is the cleanest bass in the world.The danger is if you go for the jugular you may not 'appreciate' what you have, without coming up through the ranks, if you know what I mean. Of course coming up takes a long time and a lot of spending, but that's the hobby.
Thanks for your reply, it is very tempting to do just that!I'd just buy the best you can afford right now, otherwise you'll want to upgrade very soon.
Thanks for your reply. That is a very good point, I didn't think of that. I've certainly got some things to think about!The danger is if you go for the jugular you may not 'appreciate' what you have, without coming up through the ranks, if you know what I mean.
