I'm kinda stuck in mid-fi+ purgatory. I have a crapload of different headphones and earphones. The best I have are the Sennheiser HD650 (open), Fostex TH600 (semi-closed), Noble 5 (IEM), and Sennheiser G4me Zero (closed gaming). But I have about half a dozen other decent headphones that I could've just not purchased and would have been able to save for something closer to the summit.

Just saw that I should post here as a new(ish) member, so here I am. I seem to have only acquired one pair of phones that I would consider unnecessary, though I still think they're pretty good sounding (DT 1350). All the others I've purchased since I got back into "audio" a little over a year ago have their place and purpose. The DT 1350s were also my first buy and were what got me started in this game.

Blizzard Entertainment? You wouldn't be located here in Irvine would you?

As far as mid-fi+ purgatory, sell what you don't need. I don't tend to buy lots of stuff, but I had a couple of mid-fi gear > $100 which was sold. KSC-75s I do have more than 2. One broke on me since they tend to take a little abuse sometimes.

Yep, I'm in Laguna Hills right at the Irvine border. Are there a fair number of OC folks around here?

I believe there is talk of a Christmas party up in the Bay Area during the last week of the year. That may be a good time for us to get our costumes out.

I don't even remember what it was, but it's treble was absolutely heinous.


Welcome and what they did was called SRC or Sample Rate Conversion which upped everything in hopes to filter noise more easily.  Hard to tame what it did to the highs though in  my opinion.  That being said, I owed two of those suckers.  Part of gaining knowledge & experience I suppose.

Welcome, I had those too, at one point
