Didn't see this thread until it showed up on the recent posts... anyway I'm Mikoss/Mike. Hi to everyone! Enjoying CS a lot... the more I read, the more informed and excited I am about all the possibilities. What a great group of people with excellent ears. Love reading and connecting with another person, as opposed to just reading hype.

I live in Canada, and I enjoy running and reading, whenever I can pry myself from my headphones. I work away from home for 1-2 week stretches, so spend most of my free time away from home listening to music. I've been affected by tubes and the HD-650's, and I'm having a tough time really enjoying much else. Most of my musical taste is acoustic/female vocals... I also like some jazz. (Angus and Julia Stone, Warpaint, Beach House, Cat Powers, and Andrew Bird get a lot of play for me)

As for reading, I like mostly fiction in "humanities". I like endearing stories about everyday life. Witty/funny anecdotes are also nice (David Sedaris is one of my faves). I enjoy helping people out, meditating and trying to live consciously as well.  :)p8

Great to join this community.
Firstly, I should disclose that i’m a part of the industry, however i’m not interested in promoting or peddling specific products; rather, I represent a site, which is committed to improving the product selection process. Our site is a work in progress and relies on the information and knowledge accumulated by those in “the know,” and, in general, by the experiences and findings of the community. I’d like to learn more about some specific issues related audio products by participating in the discussions, asking questions and building a reciprocal relationship with community participants.

HI Pirates !

Have been a silent reader for quite some of Changstar (since end of 2012… wow seemed like yesterday!). Have to thank Tyll because I discovered changstar only through his website! And I stumbled upon innerfidelilty only because of…. My spiritual leader at that time… NwAvGuy… =D ahahah   

I know he has a lot of friends here! Indeed I was about to spend big bucks on some fancy DAP a couple of years ago and through another forum, stumbled upon the whole objective approach, expectation bias, mc gurk effects, measurements, etc. Indeed that guy might not have the whole truth (who has?) but have to admit that his blog indeed made me discover a new perspective on the Hifi world! And also made me discover the Clip+ and the O2! =)

Anyway coming back to Changstar, here reading posts of Purrin, Ultrabike, Anax, Zeroodefex, Deepfunk, Hans, etc. I see that the force needs balance between the dark side and the light side! =) measurements and subjective experience!

It took time to understand the dynamic here in terms of how people exchange… maybe cultural gap (am French of Indian origin)! =)

Myself, I got into the hobby 5 years ago… mainly speakers/amplifiers but quickly after moving to my new place found out that in order to have a great sound, I needed to start acoustically treating my listening room… which I started investigating… the cost and the hassle of this whole treatment thingy just wasn’t for me at that moment… till I had that eureka moment! Headphones…. =D

From then on, was very much into full size headphones… and now completely into iems (ie800, MDR-ex1000 and soon JH13pro)!
And my next target is to find the right source for those! Now fueled by a sony A15 LO + O2… and/or Clip+

That’s it for the moment! I’ll try to contribute as much as I can… ;)

Welcome Hifi01170  ahoy

Since we are not really HF or HC correct, nor always politically correct for that matter you can have your opinion here. Thing is, like a game of rugby when someone feels like giving you good push or tackle it will happen.

Between objective and subject there is context or in simpler terms experience and background. When you are specific in where you come from or what you are working with "il n'y a pas un problème, pas du tout." When you can take a joke and tell a few you are fine.

Tu es bienvenu voyageur á l'aventure d'audio et de la musique.
