im in ecuador travelling. its been about 5 days now, and i checked this board at an internet cafe and i miss my cans..

no ms-1
no sennheiser
no ray samuels
no 40 days of music

and all the music they play here is really ****y techno. the song i hear the most is a remix of that song "if you´re going to san francisco, be sure to put a flower in your hair" oh god its dreadful when the beat comes in after the lyrics...

but, all in all, travelling is one of the best things i ever done. and it´s good to take a break from the land of hi-fi and music and well anything else that i am around all the time. when i come back, i appreciate it soooo much, i just sit and listen to music for days.

anyone else experienced this nirvana after taking a break from your cans?

Cant let go of sound. Ill need something to fill the void and temptation is everywhere.

That's insane! I can't live a day w/o my micro, or a while back w/o my cd player.

I guess it would really make you appreciate it more like staying in a place w/no electricity!

yeah. ive got 2 months here.

i thought about bringing my old ipod and my semi modest ms-1, but the problem isnt loosing the gear, which i would, i think i would either just get shot or beat up or if i was lucky, i would just get a bunch of really annoyed looks, and people would hate me and want me to go back to gringo-land. this guy actually stopped me the other day, although he was drunk, and told me that i was lucky i was in such a nice little town cause if i was in columbia, he would shoot me. and i was like great, have a nice evening. but if i had big old cans.....

anyways, the sublime bliss when coming back to music after going without is truly amazing. and i bet it really helps your ears to remove yourself from the build up of all that intense listening. i remember when i came back from 3 months in jamaica, i was hallucinating off my speakers. wow

Helloooo, 'herbal remedies'! (gotta use that codeword

)
Party hardy everybody!

Every time I've gone on a trip to another city or state(never been out of the country, unfortuntately) I've been really fortunate to be able to carry much of my rig in its previous state with me. The upgrades I'm adding to my rig might make things a little harder, but I'm sure if I get a dedicated bag to hold all my goodies, it won't be a problem,or I could just bring a USB cable, ER6i's, Entempo Spirit-when it arrives-, and call it good.
Now if only I could get a DAP with a MINT built into its circuitry...

I bought a pair of cheap Sennheisers from a store once to use on vacation, then returned them when I went back. I felt bad about it, but they were just so crappy. 212s, I think.

I'm spending all of next year studying abroad and I'm not planning to bring a single piece of music with me. That should be interesting.

If you resist, you'll get migranes and the urge to use preparation H in the hopes that it will cure your need for (H) headphones...
