Hey HEADPHONErs,
I’ve rolled and bounced and twisted and turned down the rabbit hole considerably since I made an account here … two weeks ago? Two weeks ago, I was just a stereo guy, wondering whether it was worth the fuss and convenience.
At this point I have my first (IEM) setup and I’m just starting to get comfortable with – and really excited – about it: Dunu SA6’s plus a Chord Mojo, for streaming hi-res/lossless from my computer or with CCK on the iPhone. (Side note: I’m doing my research, but could still use some “tips” (heh, heh) on fit/seal; see my other thread on this here.)
I’m also set up with six months on Qobuz, Tidal, and Apple Music. (I think I’ll be sticking with Qobuz above them all, and Spotify is getting cancelled…)
This thread is literally just to say that I am coming into a whole new world of detail that I didn’t know existed, having previously been a 16/44 and vinyl guy. I heard Paul Simon briefly turn his head and scratch his beard in between a vocal delivery on Everything Put Together Falls Apart and it changed me.
Use this space to tell me everything you think I should listen to. I love it all. I’m looking for discovery via high resolution. Contemporary post-bop, well-recorded classics in any genre (especially acoustic guitar / piedmont blues), outstanding classical performances, opera and vocal performances that will show me the limits of my IEMs, anything – just bear in mind what I’m listening through at the moment.
Until I crack and buy this pair of beat-up Clears tomorrow… and then a new DAC, amp… oh hell just drop me the music.
Yours,
Matthew
