Hello all! Like many others that have posted introductions, I’ve been lurking for a while now and have recently decided I should try to contribute a bit. I’m a web application engineer (fancy title for a web dev if you aren’t familiar haha). Coming from a programming background and working with data I am naturally attracted to objective measurements. I sadly discovered Amir’s work and this forum a touch late… right after ordering a Schiit Jotunheim (which I’ll be selling soon).
I am as my username would suggest, addicted to headphones. I have a lot… lets just say more than 3 dozen haha. I plan on writing reviews about them since my friends have told me numerous times that I should (I’ll probably clean the collection out after that). This hobby has been escalating a lot for me lately. I’ve started out with a bunch of sub $200 headphones and now own a pair of Mrspeakers Aeon Flow closed and Hifiman Edition X. I also have other great ones like Sennheiser HD6XX, Sennheiser HD58X Jubilees, and Hifiman HE400i. Since my headphone game got more serious, my gear I hook them up to has been in flux as well. I started out with a JDS Labs OL Dac and O2. Now thanks to Amir I own a Topping D50 too. For amps I got a Darkvoice 336se, La Figaro 339, Massdrop CTH, and recently added a Little Labs Monotor and Rega Ear MkII.
As for the future I am planning on getting a pair of electrostatics. I’ve set my eyes on Mrspeakers Voce (the Aeons has made me a Mrspeakers fan boy, well that and listening to Dan Clark talk about the Voce). To go with em I’ll either be getting a Stax SRM-353X or Woo Audio GES. I may also follow it up with a fancy dac… probably the RME ADI-2 DAC since it seems to offer a great value while offering amazing performance (unless Amir measures something better for that price). That’s basically my dream end-game setup Just gotta save up lots of money first lol.
Anyway, thanks for reading my ramblings! I look forward to getting more involved in this fantastic community
