I’ve been lurking here for awhile but haven’t posted yet. I’m a long-time poster at Head-Fi and Steve Hoffman Forum, more recently SBAF with the same username. I always enjoy the posts here and look forward to contributing.

Thanks.
I’m Massi, I live in UK and I’ve been listening with headphones for more than a decade now…time flies when you’re having fun :grinning:
But I guess I’ve now settled down and I’m using past experience to avoid compulsive buying…No more STAX 009 and custom amps for me now
Currently using a simple desk setup, Burson Conductor 3XP and HEDDphone / Ananda: I’m enjoying the simplicity of this setup

Hey!
I’ve read stuff here now and then for a while, but just now decided to make an account because I finally had actual information to share! My brother is quite active here, most of my experience with audio equipment is through him.

Currently running Sennheiser IE300s and HD8 DJs with a Fiio BTR5.

Greetings ALL!

I feel like the new kid walking into a high school cafeteria. Nervously looking around. I have been lurking through the community forums for quite some time. They’ve been such a source of knowledge and direction when I wasn’t sure what I was looking AT or what I was looking FOR (my wife and wallet are not big fans). I figured it was time to stop lurking and say hi.

My current desktop setup is an RME ADI-2-DAC fs stacked with an Emotiva BasX A-100. Next to that, I run a Schiit Modi / Magni stack. I usually travel with an Earmen Sparrow or iBasso DX300. Daily drivers are cycling between LCD-2, DC Aeon Open X, and Focal Celsetee. Walking the dog the with DUNU SA-6.

Happy Saturday! (Or Sunday, depending on where you are located)

I dig the formal welcome.

Most of my listening these days is on ZMF Atticus through various amps, nothing fancy, mostly DIY. I stream through a Raspberry Pi. Have a pair of Clears and HD650s kicking around too, and too many vintage AKG headphones.

I have lurked a long time, but signed up because of a Buy and Sell ad :slight_smile: Not the first time I have done that on a forum.

I’ve always really liked the look of the ZMF cans (especially the more complex woodgrain patterns). Every time I think I’m going to pick up a pair, I usually end up being lured in by something else. I haven’t gotten into PI endpoint streaming yet. Trying to build up the local library a bit first. I use Audirvana with a local disk and integrated streaming services. My desktop runs the main setup and I use an old surface with a DAC in another room when I am not a slave to the keyboard.

Hi, names Mick and I’m a newbie to headphones. I’m 41 disabled with MS so I have plenty of time to listen. I love music and especially electronics. I’ve always loved great sound quality at home, tried in the car, and just recently have explored headphones. Man I’ve been missing out. Looking forward to being a sponge and learning all I can. Also (feel kinda dumb asking this) how do I create a thread/post? Having issues with that.:thinking:

Hi @Mick , welcome to the forum!

Not dumb for asking this, as a lot of people ask that question. Brand new members aren’t able to create new threads. This policy encourages them to look for an existing thread for their question or comment, which centralizes the information in one place.

If you have a question, try one of these:.
General Purchase Advice
IEMs General Discussion

Otherwise, you can use the search function for a specific keyword, and you’ll probably find another thread that works for you.

Edit: I see that you already found the General Purchase Advice thread. :grinning:
