Hello All,

I joined here about a week ago and have enjoyed looking through the forum. Looks like a lot of experienced and knowledgeable folks about audio equipment. I only started putting my toe into the higher-end audio ā€œpoolā€ last year after attending AXPONA here in the Chicago area (and looking forward to going to it again in a few months). I picked up the Focal Elegia and iFi xDSD at the show and have enjoyed them tremendously. I’ve always enjoyed listening to well crafted, great sounding music and learning a lot about all of the different options. Look forward to continuing my education here on the site.

Thanks,
Matt

Been lurking in the Heddphone and Raal Sr1a threads for a bit.

Been a dedicated headphone listener for a while, ever since my Dahlquist Dq10s developed a buzz.

For me, variety is important. I start the day (I’m retired) at Starbucks with the ANC Nuraphones, (Bluetooth) then at the library with Fiio FH7 (Chord Mojo). At home I alternate weekly between the Hifiman Edition x and LCD XC (Schitt Lyr 3). The differences between marginal, (ANC Bluetooth) and ā€œOKā€ (the Audeze) keeps my listening fresh.

I vicariously caught the Sr1a bug, and as soon as the Schiit Jotunheim R is released, presumably in a week or 2, will likely spend some outrageous money.

Listen mostly to IDAGIO, classical streaming. I can’t really do speakers at home, my wife and I have a ā€œquietā€ agreement, and the one thing about headphones that make me wish for speakers is that the soundstage is in my head, not out front where it belongs. Hopefully the Sr1a’s will at least move it in the right direction a bit.

Welcome, Tim.

It sounds like you’re on the right track with the Sr1a’s. From what everyone has said, it’s a ā€œgame changerā€.

Glad you dove into participating.

Enjoy the forum!

I agree @TylersEclectic Tyler. Welcome to all the new people. I don’t know if I will be able to break free next month, but I’m very tempted to hop the early Amtrak into NYC to have a few hours at least of CanJam.
