Thanks asarin! I could have given you advice about specific devices, upgrades and the like, but I haven't seen you post much and your profile doesn't say anything about you - so my best advice to you is: why not choose what you will like and possibly love, yourself?
You can go to the upcoming Head-Fi NY meet to get your feet wet, and then come to the big leagues, over at CanJam. You'll be able to see your family in L.A., see the sights, and eat some yummy food. After CanJam, you should try Bruxie - the closest location to CanJam is in Costa Mesa, just south via 55 freeway, not far away at all from CanJam which is across the street from South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. If you like waffles and waffle sandwiches, you should try it out - simply scrumptious! Here's the link: http://bruxie.com/locations/costa-mesa/ If you do decide to come, hope to see you there!
Yes, have been a silent lurker in these parts. Learned a lot from you all, and enjoyed many a fine conversation without the need to interject!
My music travels with me (commute, work, gym, home, bed) and I occasionally fall asleep with it so portability is key. I dipped my toe into the world of IEMs with an obscure Panasonic “Zirconia” 900 something-or-other which had a very lively u-shaped signature. When one driver failed, I picked up the SE215 (mainly for the ergonomics, price and detachable cables). These remained my only IEM for a while until I bought the UE Triple Fi’s at a fire sale (sonically quite different from the 215, but enjoyable nevertheless, though rather uncomfortable). Logitech sent me the UE900 as a warrantee replacement, and these opened another door into the realm of fidelity for me. I also recently picked up the AT IM70 (which may be the poor man's SE846, as it shares a similar sonic signature). When I realized how much i liked the ATs, it was only a matter of time before desire overcame fiscal prudence and the 846 joined the collection. And that, my friends, sums up my audio journey in a paragraph
I do appreciate all the input and feedback. You guys are awesome! And in hindsight, i should have picked a better handle than asarin. Just never expected to use it much

What's so bad about Asarin? Also, welcome! The people in this thread are some of the most helpful and friendly members I've met on this forum, especially Moe.That man is angelic to say the least.
Also, I confess to usually being too catatonic upon my return home from work to form a coherent thought, so while you may not hear much from me, know that I am very much around I think i'll be sleeping with the 846s tonight :-D

Nice and concise impressions. We will see if I will eat my words sometime soon. Hopefully you won't have to get that kale ready...even though I do like kale.
Thank you sir for your kind words. We are all in this together. I've learned from certain people on Head-Fi, even the ones who are banned. Spook76, M Coupe, and others have helped me out regarding cables, etc. when I first arrived at Head-Fi. I'd like to give everyone high fives in Costa Mesa, because you are all so awesome!(root beer float tonight in my glass, yum)
