I think we're all addicted to headphones.

Read the twelve steps programme. It´s so strikingly true.

Where is this program? Unless you mean a general one for addiction and stuff :/

And getting new audio equipment is awesome.

the one for anonyme alcoholics... just replace alcoholics with audioholics

I prefer new CDs and maybe an integrated amplifier with equalizer. I have two headphones coming up and I expect to be done for a while when they are ready for use.

I made a list 6 years ago of all the headphones I wanted to listen to, I've pretty much killed that list now. Someday I'll get around to the Qualia. So I suppose I bought them just because I was interested.

and the answer is.... Because you haven't wandered into the amp section. That's what cured me!

I was able to stop for almost 5yrs... now I'm back WITH A VENGEANCE!!

I bought enough in the past 6mo to get a free pair of 225's with AMEX points.

That sounds like a lot of headphones, me thinks you need to update your profile

Wow. 3 pages. I started a confessional!

Well to answer your questions somewhere in there, i have roughly 31(ish) headphones. Most are crap, some are good, and some are my college budget best (grado and er...*cough*skullcandy*cough*)

Anyway..I describe it as this - There comes a place you get to when listening to headphones that matches, if not surpasses listening in person. It like you are in the studio with them, alone. Whether it be Jimi mashing out some Voodoo Chile, or Debussy's Claire De Lune softly tickling your ears, it feels fantastic.

Surround sound can't match it, concerts lose the purity but headphones have utmost intimacy with the listener. This is why I listen..

My name is Matt Scalf, 21 years old and I have an addiction to headphones.

Ohh wow 31 pairs. I guess you really do have a problem, my condolences. Where as Head-Fi is the fuel your wallet is in the fire.

Its not all headphones, but it was headphone related, for example: I "had" to buy a new Macbook Pro.. then it "had" to have an 8GB ram upgrade and "had" to have a 500GB hard disk upgrade... Then I "had" to have the fancy wireless keyboard and magic mouse, and dont get me started on buying all new software because I'm trying to do everything in OSx that I was very comfortable doing in Win7 and then running Win7 in a VM anyways... This all amounted to about $5k

Then there was an obsession with getting all new cables and the uDac and the MicroDac and the Little Dot and.......

wow... i really do have a problem... <crying>

LOL, those two really gave me a good laugh...

[Young Spade]
