Audiophile•What was your Ah ha! moment in becoming an Audiophile?

My moment was when i went to a HF meetup (before it became CES) and got to audition all the different types of headphones and gear - Stax, AKG1000, hybrid planars, R10's, L3000's, buffalo DAC, moths, blue hawaiians, etc. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I didn't actually like the things that i read were good. I learned to trust my own ears first. My 2nd moment was when i built my own CMOY (RIP btw) based on reading threads and viewing...

Citizen New Master This is a vintage piece I have been working on. It has a 17 Jewel hand-wind movement that keeps pretty good time. I love the radially graduated dial, which unfortunately had some water damage. While I was cleanin...

Audiophile•Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee Headphones

Any amp recommendations for the hd58x? I dont see any particular amps mentioned on forums/reviews for the hd58x and hd660s, both 150ohm. With the hd6xx/hd650 theres a strong recommendation for the darkvoice/bottle head/other high output impedance amps. For grados/other low impedance cans low output impedance amps are recommended (little dot 1+/magni 3). But no one mentions amps that have...

Are Enthusiast Products Expenses or Assets?

Intro 2008 was a great year for me. I graduated 8th grade, played ~1000 hours of TF2 (I'm an accredited hat investor), and fell down the headphone rabbit hole. As a 13 year old, funding was the major issue, and Head-Fi's Buy/Sell/Trade secti...

Audiophile•Shure SRH 940 Audiophile Headphone

I prefer the Shure SRH 940 by a long shot to the K701 and, by extension, to the SRH840 and certainly the K550. It is astoundingly very linear with a hair of excitement of 1 to 2 decibels of treble in the 8 to 14 kHz range and a slight dip in the lower bass by 3-4 decibels starting from 50 Hz to 20 Hz. Unless you are bass fiend or preferences lie with an artistically warm sound, these are some of the best headphones under $1000. Bear in mind...

Audiophile•Massdrop x HIFIMAN HE4XX Planar Magnetic Headphones

Sitting here listening to mine from the last drop, which arrived a few days ago... haven't had a lot of headphone time. But based on a few hours of listening - after running them attached to my headphone amp/dac for about a day and a half with all kinds of music at above mid volume, in case there is break in required, before really listening - here's what I think. These are lovely to listen...
