Thanks - itās nice to be here 
Iāve always been a speaker listener at home with a couple of pairs of Sennheisers collecting dust in the corner. For some reason recently, it was like a switch got flicked on and Iām now really enjoying my new found interest in headphone listening.

Hi all, thanks for the warm welcome! Glad to have found a friendly and really helpful community!
Got into the hobby not so long ago, and with everything thatās been happening with covid, has really given me a moment to pause, sit down and really enjoy my music. Definitely looking forward to exploring more into it!

Hi @USATRAN - I have an iFi iPurifier3 too - I havenāt heard many people talking about them, but I think it makes a difference and always use it.

I had a pair of AKG K240 cans that did justice to drum dynamics, especially in the lower mid-upper bass region. I donāt use any EQ on my playback equipment so Iām a fan of natural room EQ and the equipmentās own characteristics.

The digital domain has its own peculiarities, one of which is digital jitter. Itās like having a wheel on your car that needs rebalancing because it shimmies at a certain road speed. Latency can be an issue due to cheap cabling with long runs that, in a coax cable, is the result of cable capacitance where the signal gets āabsorbedā by the cable itself. The iFi iPurfier3 really cleans things up.

Perhaps consider the RAAL SR1a ear speakers with similar ribbon drivers. You might even be able to use your Maggie speaker amp to drive them.
Delayed welcome and I enjoyed reading your essay. I keep safeguards on hand to try to counter the placebo effect and keep me and my consumables honest, for audio and beyond.
We have some good discussion in this thread.

Hey guys,
Iām new to this forum but been more active on reddit, was recently invited to join this forum from there. I didnāt know there was a forum on this site!
About 3-4 years in this hobby and all I can say is I canāt imagine my life without it. Current hp in collection: Arya, MDR-Z7, Denon D2000, Ath-w1000x and LSA HP-2 (LSAās version of Kennerton Gjallarhorn) on the way. Looking forward to chatting with you guys soon!

Hello yāall!
My name is Reid and Iām loving the atmosphere of this forum. I was into the headphone scene back in 2016, but got sidetracked until a few months ago. Now Iām back developing my hifi system and learning from everything Iām reading. I have a background in music as a studio engineer in Nashville back in 2003-2006. I love blues, rock, country, jazz, and latelyā¦ classical music. Iāve always loved all things audio, and am a bit of a gear whore. I have a Holo Audio May out for delivery as we speak. Iāll post about it here sooner or later. Glad to be here though, thanks for the kind welcome to the forum!
