alright, let's pretend I'm new. (I was on here ages ago but couldn't retrieve my login, so I registered again). fresh start.

I used to be a musician and performed for years. classical mostly (cello), a bit of jazz too (bass). also, I used to be a contributor on another headphone forum, until one day in a fit I removed all my posts. over the past three decades, I went through a few phases - built several two-channel systems, sold off stuff... went with vinyl, then gave all that up... built a music server... etc.  the typical journey.

but in terms of headphones, I've been pretty loyal to beyerdynamic since 1986. more recently, I got into IEM listening, partly due to travel; I was a beta tester for several models by a noted IEM maker for quite a while. I used to attend a lot of meets and trade shows... but then I dropped out of that circuit for health reasons.

now I'm back! currently most of my listening these days is on a big rig (magnepan, kilowatt amp, NAS, streaming DAC) but I also like my various tube amps and DAPs and other gadgets when there's time.

Welcome 1melomaniac  ahoy

I think I often read your posts on HF in the past. Yes my alias is the same on HF.

Argh, ya scurvy maties. My name is Kurt. I'm kind of a HF refugee, as although I still stop in there, I rarely post anymore. Too much nonsense, too much fawning over site advertisers (although I met Jason Stoddard at RMAF last year and liked him, the messianic awe he seems to inspire over there is too much for my B.S meter to take). I am kind of a refugee from CA also, and I must say, CA makes HF seem sane and down-to-earth. The lunatics are really running the asylum over there. This happens a lot to anyone with any objectivist leanings at all walk the plank2. Anyway, I'm here to learn and have fun, not necessarily in that order. Any questions are welcomed.

I'm sure it's very nice....   Not of great interest to me at this time.  Maybe some time later.....

I never paid much attention to headphones until financial hard times forced me to sell almost everything I owned, including my 2-channel rig. All I had left was a MacBook Air, a pre-ordered yet undelivered Geek Out 450, and a pair of headphones that sounded terrible and squeezed my head like a pimple.

As my eventual financial recovery progressed, I gradually upgraded my system to what it is now:
MacBook Air -> Wyrd -> GO450 -> Vali -> HD800

I'm thrilled with the sound I'm getting! I like this way better than any 2-channel system I ever owned. The fun/$ ratio in the headphone world is so high, I have no intention of owning another pair of speakers!
