I will receive the Focal Spirit Professional in a few hours. I'm pretty sure it will end up being my favorite. (Some people like it more than the four figure flagships!)
 
Look at my signature. "90% audiophile, 10% basshead." Most of the time, I want to reproduce the recording accurately, but other times (particularly with electronic music), I want to crank the bass. I also like all kinds of other sound signatures, but I want it to sound realistic above all.

In a few hours?? Early congrats !!

Sneak peak at soon-to-come domination!
 

  Just received the Focal Spirit Professional! Haven't listened to it yet. I'm going to eat and get my energy drink ready, so I'm pumped up and energized during the first listening session. I'm wearing them right now. They fit fine. The snug fit is oddly comfortable. No major comfort issues for me! Thank goodness. They are still totally over-ear. I was a little worried before buying them, since many people with larger ears have had problems.

  The Focal Spirit Professional is near-perfect. No joke. Full-length review coming soon. Stay tuned...

You mentioned that you were looking for a portable closed-back flagship headphone. While the Spirit Pro is only $349, it is very portable and some people like it even more than the four figure flagships. Well worth hearing for yourself. Then again, the Ultrasone Signature PRO (which I believe you've heard...?) should be better overall, albeit not as neutral.

YKYAAW you can't send said CDs out until the funds transfer to your bank account, because you already spent all the money you had on audio gear! XD

As replacement for my time lost, I demand that you include the headphones that made me have to wait an excruciating 2 days! 

 
Alchemist has cool CDs and is awesome to work with (plus has good prices). Buy from him!*

YKYAAW you just got a new phone and use it as an excuse to look at portable DAC/amps
 
YKYAAW you debate upon whether to spend your money on CDs or audio gear
 
I want that E07k... but I also want those CDs

YKYAAW you are one of the few people who stays on this thread and just know that our little club of frequent posters drove away everyone else.

YKYAAW you know that amps are almost always unnecessary, and even 300 ohm headphones can still sound good without one.
 
subliminal message beamed directly into TRapz's brain: buy more Music Alchemist CDs...buy more Music Alchemist CDs...lol

YKYAAW you cannot really feel that a day is accomplished until you listen to music..

You really need to start reading people's signatures. I have some hardcore, etc., but haven't finished compiling the full list of albums.

Was I able to see most of the list? If not, maybe I'll find some more I want once I get some more money XD

YKYAAW you use all your mobile data to go on Head-Fi

YKYAAW you judge the audio in the car from the radio
"Sugar" didn't sound that bad...

I mentioned in my PM that the list I sent you is the main artists; I just haven't compiled the various artists releases (like soundtracks) yet.
 
Also, did you actually read through that entire thing?
