How do the 1990s compare to the 1770s? Please tell me they're garbage, and not worth buying so I'm not tempted.

Unfortunately (for you) they are exceptional. Everything good about the 1770s and none of the... "eccentricity." They are my definition of "transparent" ie. great recordings and mastering sound amazing, recordings with poor mastering or lots of artifacts: it reveals every wart and blemish. There's no hiding from these.

But beyond, that they are ridiculously enjoyable to listen to, and the BD comfort levels are very well represented here, but they are heavy compared to the 990 and 880, so you never "forget you're wearing them."

Hah, I figured they'd be great. The DT1770s are superb, so it was pretty much guaranteed the 1990s would be as well.

They'll probably be on my radar in the future. For the time being I'll just enjoy these 1770s and A20. This amp really was a steal for basically being free.

Bought a house. I turned my second closet into a hobby closet.. need to pick up some speaker stands for the klipsch speakers. Don’t use the tower speakers often but when I do they sound glorious. Ignore the best of wires underneath lol

Make your bed. For shame.

For most of us I think this is the thread where we come to lurk around. To see what financially more fortunate fellows have achieved. Great collection indeed. But could you not sell every second headphone easily if you had to? Asking out of curiosity. :)
uhm.... what you see is every fourth headphone... so yeah, every second sounds good to me XD

Honestly I just wear those at work and really only bought them for the colors..

Just want to say using your closet poles to hang up all those headphones is an awesome idea. And hey, nothing wrong with a little fashion! :gs1000smile:

...Ever thought about ascending to summit-fi, though? :p

Sick desk setup (but oh man, r/cablegore going on down there haha)

Also, what desktop background is that? It looks great!

I’ve probably given away 15 or so pairs of headphones to family members.. honestly I don’t like dealing with people on cl or OfferUp so it isn’t worth the trouble.

Can't get over those planar-magnetic speakers on either side of the bed (always wanted to hear those). My hat is off to a true audio fanatic!

I bet my cable mess beats everyone

No--sadly, that would be MY cable mess...
  • 2 different computers 8 ft. apart, each with many attached devices & separate monitors
  • 2 separate desktop &/or headphone audio systems, each with its own jumbo DAC. The desktop system has 3 amp/preamps, any 2 of which are live at all times
  • 2 ISPs = 2 routers + 3rd distribution router + ethernet cabling all around
If I got hit by the proverbial bus today, no one could make sense of this tangle. Hell, even I can't make sense of it.

LOL. Once a year or so, I tear down my tower box and take it outside to blow out the dust. I have learned to take a photo of all the connections first. :L3000:

Theres so much in mine the thought of doing that gives me anxiety, thankfully dust filters exist so even after 4-5 years theres only a fine layer of dust that doesnt impact temperatures, i prolly wont break it down until i add new parts.
