How many headphones does a man need?

I have been quietly enjoying my Atriums since they first released. And I'm watching my roommate over here with his Verite Open and Caldera. And now he's talking about possibly getting the Bokeh.

The benefit is I get to try out other headphones every now and then! So that's nice. Plus there's about 10 different ZMF pads in the house for use.

Though he's a bad influence, because he's trying to get me to buy the Aegis...

The answer is always at least one more. Maybe two. And then there’s usually at least one upcoming release or rumored development that will require attention.
What I do know for sure is I started several models behind and my lists of must tries and must buys keep getting longer.

Depends, are you're willing to live off of instant ramen???
From experience in using that exact scenario as rationalization (including presently), I’d suggest adding eggs, cabbage, and scallions for a little protein and greenery. Ground ginger and garlic help too.

Been listening to this via Atrium for a good part of this week. Absolutely love the guitar tone via the Atrium.

I'm a big fan of Gary Clark Jr. Not only do I love the music that he makes, but he's uses a few guitar pedals that I've made, which is cool.

Folks, I must confess I'm headphoneaholic
If your headphones are correlated to how much joy you derive from them you may be okay! Sometimes I vacillate between feeling I have an addiction and praising myself for having such a highly refined and rewarding hobby lol. Most of the time it’s praising myself, life is too short not to enjoy :)

Writing this as I start to eye the Focal Hadneys…and maybe HD 620…ugh, haha. I swore the Atriums would be my last cans about a month ago.

Saw a recent DMS/Golden Sound interview and I recall DMS saying he had about 60 pairs, yikes!
