New Member Introductions thread

Hola, un saludo desde la soleada España. Soy un amante de la música y un aprendiz de este mercado. Creo que en la audiofilia, es positivo empezar desde equipos humildes para valorar mejor el mercado. Por ejemplo, mi primer DAP fue un Fiio M3K y me proporcionó cientos de horas de placer. Hoy tengo mejores equipos y no me hacen disfrutar más de lo que lo hizo el M3K. No quiero olvidarme de mis auriculares de botón Sony de 20 euros que se portaron magníficamente. No olvides que en la audiofilia los rendimientos son decrecientes. A partir de una buena calidad no importa lo que te gastes en mejorar tu equipo, éste no se verá mejorado en la proporción del incremento de su precio. En mi opinión cuando llegues a un equipo que te convenza como suena, no busques más. Disfrútalo. Es una pena que en la ansiedad por encontrar algo mejor se pierda el verdadero objetivo que es disfrutar de la música. Esto me recuerda la paradoja de la la zanahoria y el burro. Bienvenido

Hello all
Started my venture into Head-Fi a few months back, and now I'm a bit afraid that I've been bitten by yet another bug
Can't wait to learn what the Head-Fi world has to offer, compared to the speaker HiFi world, that I originate from.
Currently, I'm using an old set of Beyerdynamics DT990 Premium, and a recently acquired set of HiFiMAN Sundara, but I have a feeling that will change in the near future.
Thanks for having me, Head-Fi.org!

Hi, I’m new to the group, bit of a Hifi head and looking for a DAC, started reading the forums as there’s so much information on DACs here. Any tips on DACs that work well with tube pre is appreciated!

 

[balbalbigelo]

My headphone setup is old trusty Sennheiser HD660s either plugged into a Limetree Audio Headphone amp or Headphone stage on a Mcintosh tube pre

Welcome!
Been around here since '06 - and upgraded many evolutions in terms of systems w/tube amps in particular, 650 being warm, and you're right a good analytical rather than soft warmer dac in our used market would be my initial goal with your existing setup, IMO. Buying used is solid advice with good or better dacs which will make a world of difference in presentation appreciation.
Then, research with a grain of salt of opinions, but look at others systems matching yours to get a general direction to follow in terms of what to expect in upgrading "YOUR" sound - source and specific recording is all important to satisfaction.

-Enjoy your journey, it's a wonderful learning and shared experience - Obligatory Head-Fi axiom, "sorry 'bout your wallet" lol
