i got sick of headfi, but i pop in every now and again
i got sick of headfi, but i pop in every now and again
First I want to say that Head-fi is great, amazing and wonderful. It is a blessing actually. However, over time, you will get sick of it and and even vomit. Another flavor of the month, another latest hot head phone, another great amp. The cycle repeats and repeats. It's no wonder that many senior members jump ship and bail!
I love head fi but eventually when you stick with it, you get the pattern and get sick of it. In the mean time, the shopping is great if you are still searching for your dream amp and upgrade from those bad ear buds. I love head-fi but it's like eating the same pizza if you continue with it.
I'm kind a getting tired of the repeat questions. What amp? What DAC? What headphone? It never ends. /

And I'm also afraid thats what our world is turning into. A handful of those who create, with millions who consume. Not a good sign.
Going on the same line of thought as AiDee, I guess there should be a guide to buying <fill in the component>.
You know, something like a database. All headphones, DACs, Amps sorted according to their properties, like input/output options, power source (portable/non portable), power output, Specs, Sound signature.
As you keep selecting criteria, your choice keeps narrowing down until you've found the component you want.
It'll be much easier for a lot of users, both new and experienced. You could easily narrow down to a selection in a few clicks. No need to keep asking the same question again.
Personally I am over gear (Headphones), and found my true passion, which is photography so when I venture here it is about photos or read up about general stuff and not headphones related.
I much prefer listening to music from speakers anyway!
I think that's why some people here are addicted, since they buy 1000 headphones not realising what they're really looking for are speakers. =]

Sounds like what they're looking for is the K1000. Or a Smyth Realiser.
