I want to thank everyone here. I asked for some advice in the purchase section for my first set of headphones. I am just starting to get into the hobby, and the advice was really helpful. I’ve always been into home theater audio, but this is my first foray into headphone audio. In a little under a month I’ve gotten a Schiit Modi/Magni combo, a Fiio K5 Pro, a pair of Hifiman Sundara’s, the Drop 5xx, the original Sennhieser Momentums, a set of KZ ATR iems, and a set of Fiio F1H1s, and I’m using an older Dragonfly. It’s great getting to play with the combinations and try out some of the DSD stuff I have. I’ve discovered things in songs that I’ve heard for years. Little subtleties I didn’t know existed. I can’t wait to find out what’s next. I know some of you pay multiple thousands of dollars for your equipment, so I hope I don’t get hooked and make my wife too angry 🙂 Thanks again for the advice. ---

I can hear your wallet whimpering from here 😜 This forum has been incredibly helpful to me too. Great group of folks - enjoy the journey! ---

I would like to remind you and @ProfFalkin that it is possible to enjoy this hobby without making a blood sacrifice of your wallet. But it’s not easy. ---

As I sit here listening on a HD600 and Loxjie P20 (total cost \<$500) and _sincerely_ wondering why I ever needed to spend a dime more. As I know this is the true point of diminishing returns. And as I try to not look at 10x the gear nearby. ---

Hadn’t tried a blood sacrifice yet. Is there a method that results in better sound? I just gave it to @ZMFheadphones. ---

> [@pennstac](#): > > it is possible to enjoy this hobby without making a blood sacrifice of your wallet. 100% agree. I am a failure in this regard. FWIW, I’ll be the first to tell people how positively ludicrous it is, for example, that I spend untold hours of my time reading about 60+ year old glass tubes, countless more hours figuring out where to find them, and after all of that, shell out potentially hundreds for just a pair of this decades-old technology. And since that was so fun, rinse and repeat the next month. DON’T DO IT! LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES!!! 😉 ---

I know he won’t be named so I’ll respect it but I want to send a big heartfelt thank you to a brother in the community how saw me looking for a Schiit Tube headphone amp and: 1. Took his time and knowledge to explain me what was a better choice for me in comparison to what I was looking for. 2. Offering his piece of equipment which is brand new for a bargain. For a half French half Italian as I am these are things that really move my heart. When I write that this community is an enlarged family this is what I mean. Respect and I hope I’ll have the opportunity to return the favour very soon. ---

I want to send a huge and grateful thank you to the [headphones.com](http://headphones.com) stuff and to Andy from Dan Clark Audio. I had a issue with my Aeon Noire and [headphones.com](http://headphones.com) crew put me in contact with Andy. We had a long telephone chat, Andy got what the issue was and managed to solve it in the best way possible without charging me a cent. All fixed and fully working in a pair of weeks. This is what I call customer service. Thank you so much, highly appreciated.
