LOL. Yes, one pair of Audeze LCD-3’s.

Ramen, right out of the bag?
Boyardee, straight?

$2k for cans trims the necessities budget some.

[Mind you, if I'm listening to cans now it's the Drop [6XX] Topping [E/L 30] combo, don't listen via much else these days].

Only one headphone with countless albums.
Which one would you pick?
Countless albums?

Music is the handmaid of Divinity.

Would you rather pick a single appliance for cooking all of the food you consume, or pick a single ingredient to eat until you dies from malnourishment? ;)

I would pick one headphone and all the music.

Those forced choice philosophicals are fun. What about:

a) one Sean Olive audiobook on any headphones you like?
versus
b) three olives in a dirty martini with any music you like?

Sounds kind of insane to me to worry about preference of one piece of hardware, especially headphones, rather than listening to one thing over and over again ....

Thats why these pple are extreme hobbyists or audiophiles (doesnt matter what you call them). just like in every hobby, you will find those who are casual and those who are more extreme. there are some who diy and mod their own gear.
