Wow the compass already looks good on those pics

Not to mention the two that aren't even labeled. |

Not to mention the two that aren't even labeled. I know you great forum members will be able to help me out once I get the thing. I'm way stoked for sure about getting into this hobby for sure. It's a pleasure to read everyone's posts about this type of equipment even if 75% of it is over my head and I need to Wiki everything. I just sit back and read to try and absorb what most of you are talking about with out asking questions prematurely. There's a LOT of stuff to learn for sure. I wish I had more knowledge to actually participate, but unfortunately I'm just a total newbie to this stuff. Anyway, the Compass looks killer and am way stoked to finally know it's on it's way soon. Hope I get it by next week. I would love to share my impressions, but not sure what I would compare it to. By no means am I new to music or home audio, plus I've been a drummer for over 25 years and music has been my life since I was a 10 year old kid. I'm just new to the whole "mid-fi" headphone scene. Actually just the whole headphone thing in general. I can't believe I never discovered this earlier in life. Oh well, better late then never. Thanks for everyone's understanding on where I'm at here. Everyone's knowledge has been invaluable to me to say the least. And it feels like I am getting a great start with going with the Compass do to everyone's input here. So thank you all very much. |
