Ouch! ( I ought to learn to use those little smiling faces)
First Off MReal I am an adult not a child and I am more than willing to take full and complete responsibility for ALL my actions. I simply came here for a little help to put together a first class Headphone system.
I have been a stereo hobbyist for years and have been unable, recently, to do much listening because of the birth of my first child (I am a late bloomer in this regard).
In a short time I have gained a quick look at what's available and it has been quite helpful. I am listening to Sennheiser HD600s now because it was cheap, easy and I needed some first hand (or ear) experience with these things in order to better appreciate the honest experience so graciously offered here.
As to any responsiblity I might feel you personally should shoulder for my decision to purhcase a set of Headphones; well, you need not worry. I know enough to take opinions for what they are. In fact, in your case I exercised increased caution because, in a somewhat vitriolic comment you once made to Markl (Clash of the Titans thread) you said:
QUOTE :"I was forgiving of the R10 in my comparison because Vertigo-1 had mentioned he was going to sell his (during the same time you were asking him to tell you about their sound (!)), and then you bought yours markl.. and I didnt want to detract from the possible resale value." ENDQUOTE
So, due to the candor of the above quoted remark, I knew that your opinions could be based on motivations having to do with driving market prices as well as considerations of sound and build quality. I want you to rest at ease because your decision to offer an opinion to Markl which was based on the fact that you did not want to "detract from the possible resale value" was in one of the first threads I read when I came to this board.
So you see Mreal, I already knew, long before ordering my set of ATH W2002s, that your opinions were capable of holding subtext which might mitigate them for my purposes ( which were, as stated, to try to put together a first class headphone system ).
I would, however, like to thank you for helping to bring them to my attention - and I say this regardless of if I like them or not. I am prepard to listen and judge, as everyone must, for myself.
Most Cordially,
Michael
