.. you run to a store at 2am because you ran out of Blu-Tack for headphone modding.
 
Seriously I did this last night and it's quite sad. I ended up buying just two small items..including a caffeine loaded energy drink to finish my project.
 
I then got home and found out my Total Airhead makes my HD-650 sound better than my Asgard and E9

 
I was comparing them for like an hour with games and music.
 
Ended up getting to bed when the birds came out.
 
What makes me feel even worse is that I actually had dreams about headphones before. Ugh. Don't tell anyone.
 
I also spent last night trying to see if I could tell the difference between a Cardas 3.55mm mini cable to a Monoprice one. I couldn't. I can with headphone cables though.

How about just giving me that Asgard then

And good to hear about the mini cable. I need a new one and that makes me think I should just go with whatever has a reasonable build quality.

Perhaps not exactly a SURE sign that I'm an audiophile, but this forum is the first that I've posted in since I made a "NO MORE FORUMS" pact with myself a few years back... and mostly because I want to thank you guys at head-fi for helping me go from an arrogant QuietComfort 15 owner to a budding audiophile who is slowly but steadily learning to appreciate the world beyond Bose. hehe... I've lurked here for a long time and just recently bought myself a 21st birthday present of:
 
DT770/80
Fiio E3/7/9 combo
 
This, connected to my Mac Pro, listening only to 320mp3 and Flac... is just... absolutely... well, you know that feeling, the first time you truly HEAR a song, as opposed to just listening to music. I can't count how many times i've sat with my jaw just hanging open as i play a song that i've heard 1 or 2 hundred times and just discover so much more about it. And that's usually accompanied by the "wait... it's 3am?? I was supposed to be in bed hours ago... I have work tomorrow.... but damn this sounds sooo gooooood..." 
 
And the part that I love is that I've really just begun my journey! My gear now is a huge step up from where I was, but i love the idea that there is a whole new world of headphones, amps, dacs, cabling... wait, this is a bad thing! My poooooor wallet noooooo.....  
 
So anyway, sorry for the ramble but I figured this was a good thread for my first post. Just sayin' hi, and hopefully I'll be able to continue learning from all of you! I'll keep posting too, because I really think this is a great community of people and I'd love to become part of it.

Sorry about your wallet.

Anyway. I definitely like the part about hearing a song for the first time. That's such a great feeling.

Awkward.

When you look at this picture and one of the first things you see is the headphones/amps and can name them.

What I noticed is first in the pic is that the person must be almost colorblind... tweak your monitor settings ***!

No not really! you'll just probably end up so uneducated that you'll go and fill your room full of Guns and think your a audiophile.
 
Well at least ya can shoot anyone whom calls you emotionally dumb .
 
That wasn't "aimed" ,pardon the pun, at you skerry by the way.or anyone else . Just don't waste your opportunity to get educated, in some country's people don't even get the chance to learn to read.
