Hello people!

I'm here because I've absolutely loved the work you've done with your measurements and such. I've been lurking around without an account for a while and decided to make one. Keep up the good work.

I've been following this forum for awhile and now I would like to introduce myself.  I am coming to you form the great frozen north which is very much an audio void.  It is over 300 miles to even a Walmart so the internet is my connection to others who share this interest.  I have been interested in electronics and audio for many years, I was building crystal radios and stringing antenna when I was 10 years old.  Bought my first headphones in the '70s but mostly have used speaker based system. 

When I moved north I pulled out my old headphones and got interested in finding better.  I have several IEMs and new headphones.  I have followed HF for several years and found the CDS plots very interesting and when I found this forum with purrin, LFF, and others who I feel I know from HF I decided to join in.  My latest venture has been getting a Fostex 50rp and start the modding thing. 

This forum is a nice change from the BS on HF, that place makes my head hurt at times.

Welcome, arcticears!

I think you'll enjoy the T50RPs. We got some gurus here on this forum. I was just listening to rhythmdevils's pair last week and they were better than my LCD2s.

I just wanted to formally introduce myself. My name is Don and I live in the Philippines. I just want to say that the headphone measurements and discussions here have a nice looseness about them that I like. I only wished I lived closer to you guys though so that I could actually join the meets, listen to some cans and drink some beers with you guys.

I'm sure you would like meet Dale Thorn too.

Yeah - measurements are nice, but any of us would easily throw them out the window if they didn't gel with what we heard.

Very True. The more a site has measurements that match with the headphones we have heard, the more we can actually predict what we are likely to hear from cans we haven't heard by looking at their measurements. This is a really a good thing you are doing here for all of us headphone nuts purrin. No more marketing BS like we see in many other places, just a plain old combination of subjective listening proven with objective measurements!

unless people don't introduce themselves at all anymore (see the post about porn manners above), I would say that I got into the bad habit of blowing money on audio gear (including a horrific pair of AKG parabolics, but a lot of nice toys too) since the 80s, and it's been downhill since then. I've suffered the other forums long enough to hope this one might hurt even worse. as for all those measurements, bring them on - but I'm worried one day people will return to measuring heads and drawing conclusions from them - be forewarned. ;-)
