Be grateful that there's yet one more thing in life that calls out to you. Life is short, and full of knocks and degradations. I have no taste for jewelry or wine. Caviar doesn't call out to me. I own no boats or planes or fancy cars. My clothing is nothing worthy of a second look.
But my PS1000 and the HD800 take me to places I've never been. I've got a ticket to ride. You've got yours. Let's hear it for being happy about something.
Very well put and I'd agree entirely. There are those who spend huge sums of money on extravagant clothes, vacations to Europe or Exotic places, shoes, boats, jewelry, or so many other hobbies.
With headphones...I figure I'm getting out very cheap!! I put my HD800s or RS-1s on or my new STAX and BAM....close my eyes and I'm in the studio with Rush or Porcupine Tree, traveling back in time to a memory, a place, where all my youthful feelings come rushing back...the scents, and other human input devices at that time or place surrender their data...good lord above how could one put a price tag on this. Of course, there is a limit on the spending but If you do it right, it should NEVER interfere with your life or your families' and if it does then, yes, you need to re-evaluate.
Enjoy now... and don't be afraid to hop on and go for a spin, it's a blast, I promise.
Of course, it's no crime to live vicariously through those on the forum, too. That's a great form of entertainment, too.
One point I cannot stress enough for all newcomers...if you partake in the headphonia, please, keep the volume down and take care of your ears...if you damage your hearing, you will never get it back...another reason to get a fantastic phone...low volume listening with all of the details.
As the great Michael Jackson said, "nothing but Love".
