Hey,

I was drawn here by Tyll's blog to be perfectly honest. I started learning to interpret his graphs and really wished I had done so earlier: I've owned a few objectively bad headphones. So eventually I noticed a CSD plot floating around Head-Fi and found it to portray frequency response and decay time extremely effectively which brought me back here. Hopefully spending more time on these forums will help me make more informed purchases, and help those who haven't taken advantage of headphone measurements.

Do you like what you have so far? The W3000 is like the W5000, but more "normal". Any direction you want to go?

ehh, I wouldn't assume you'll like the He6 more just because it's the next model up and more expensive.  Many people prefer the HE500 and even if you're not one of those people, it may be plenty good enough, and you can drive it with a much more flexible array of source and amp, even straight from a DAP if you need to. 

Unless you hear the two and really prefer the HE6 and are fine with it's amping requirements I'd recommend just getting the HE500. 

Hi all out there....

Gojakla entered your forum via InnerFidelity's post about you Pirates 

My specs are the following:

Phones:
- AKG K270 Studio (never been bored of them - a pure classic for me)
- Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro (The most comfy headphones ever put on. However the low frequencies tend to be excessive in some kinds of music.


Amp:

- JDS Labs O2 (Very pleased of it. An overall fair machine for its money and more than plenty of power)


Dac:

- JDS Labs ODac (IMHO very detailed... that tend to be tedious. Would personaly like it to be a slight warmer. However i think its a good machine among the low-cost Dacs)


That' s all about me folks.... 

Hi,

I'm from head-fi too and registered here as soon as I knew about it (through innerfidellity).

I been on this hobby for one year approximately, and I'm loving it. Already have lots of cans. I started with a W4 and a Beyer DT880-250 Ohms. They got me very impressed. The first can that really gave me goose bumps was Denon D7000, that I will probably keep for life. My biggest purchase so far is an Orpheus system from another fellow head-fier, Neil. That took a lot of courage 

I also like photography... though I'm not much of a photographer myself.

You've only been into head-fi for a year and you already own an Orpheus rig? Wow!
