Hello and welcome to all this weeks new members.
Thanks @prfallon69! I’ve been a participant on the Head-Fi and SBAF forums for many years, and thought I’d join here as well. 
Thanks for the warm welcome. This post suggests introducing myself so…
Along with Djing, I used to work at Circuit City in the mid 90s and first fell in love with high-end home audio when a co-worker, Frank Mack, who was a Jazz freak, had me listen to George Duke’s “Look What We Started Now” (which was brand new at the time) on several high-end speakers in our sound room. From that day, my ears were opened and I became an audiophile.
Twenty-Five years later, I’m a high school English teacher with three kids and wife who keeps telling me, “Turn it down, you’re going to wake up the baby!” This led to a search of audiophile headphones and youtube with Joshua Valour, DMS, Z Reviews, and of course, The Headphones Show. My first audiophile headphones were the purchase of the DT 1990s along with the Monolith THX Portable DAC/AMP. I realized that even though I love the detail of the DT 1990s, I couldn’t handle the pain of sibilance.
I returned the DT 1990s and bought the Hifiman Arya and the LCD-X for a side-by-side comparison. I loved the slam of the LCD-X and felt like the Arya was mainly suited for instrumental music. So I returned the Aryas and kept the LCD-Xs as they seem more versatile for a wide variety of music.
At this point, I would love to find a comfortable, lightweight pair of headphones with great dynamics/slam, strong bass, good minds, detailed highs that are not fatiguing, and a huge soundstage with pinpoint imaging. I think I just described the LCD-Xs but way lighter and with a better sense of soundstage and imaging.
hey Ray,
maybe have a look at the Sennheiser 800(not the S) and at it´s modifications, like the SDR mod for example: Sennheiser HD 800 S - Open Back Dynamic Headphone - Official Thread
Another one might be the ZMF Auteur.

Thank you very much! I’m a brazilian, living in Brazil: this means serious investigation before buying something: it’s hard to find good gear locally, and USD/BRL FX rate are at 5+ right now, so anything comes expensive to us!
Love the hobby!
Cheers!
Welcome Ray. You might find these topics in particular interesting.
Welcome delefrate! Your post reminded me of this video featuring an audiophile from Brazil.
Hi mate, thanks for the video - unfortunately I wasn’t able to watch it yet - I just took quick look. My budget is way under his, unfortunately 
- and I’m more of a headphone person.
Kind regards
