Hi,
First of all, amazing work with this site. Love the community and the value of the information available here is absolutely terrific.
Finally decided to make an account here.
Thinking some general information about me would be necessary.
Im a 15yr (no typo, not kidding, dont judge me because of my age please) old german. This doesnt really help, obviously my experience is very limited due to age but living in germany also doesnt really seem to help - not that much of a headphone community around here, 0 meets from what Ive seen. Basically forces me to rely on other's impressions (and measurements) -> changstar
I live close to munich tho so I atleast got the munich high end once a year (which is pretty awesome imo)...
Basically got into this hobby about 1 year ago with me buying an HD 600 and a Xonar STX based on what I had read on HF.
(Actually my dad got me interested in audio stuff, I just never cared enough to spend my own money before.)
Seeing the CSD thread I found out about this site (and innerfidelity) and since then Ive basically been on here for 2+ hours daily. Sometimes as much as 8h reading a day.
Based on subjective impressions and measurements I decided I had to give the HD 800 a listen ... ended up buying one about a month after I bought the HD 600.
I think I modded them around a month later however I dont think I had the rug liner thing in there back then because I couldnt find that type of material at that time ...
Got a Vali sometime around october/november I think ... S/N is 279 so I dont think it's one of the very early ones.
And finally got a Gungnir with the v2 USB board mid april.
