Welcome!Hello everyone, I have been visiting and learning from this forum for years now. I never thought about joining because I thought I had nothing to contribute. Went to the last CanJam SoCal, had a blast, and decided to join the forum later, so here I am. I am interested in DACs, headphones, headphone amplifiers, and IEMs. For about a year I found myself more interested and enjoying portable amps and IEMs. I also began to pay attention to how cables, ear tips, and even ear pads affect my listening experience. I am pretty open-minded and respect everyone's opinion. I am looking forward to connecting with people here who share the same passion I do.

Hello, as recommended for a start, here's my first post.
My name's Indy and I'm from Switzerland. My father did spread the audio enthusiasm virus and I definitely got quickly infected when I was a teenager with little financial funds.
Nevertheless, it all is about the music I love and clearly prefer listening to in the best possible quality.
That said, headphones have always been a second best way to reach that goal. The home stereo hi-fi setup has so far bested my headphones in holographic 3D soundscape. It's difficult to technically imagine a headphone reaching that very same quality.
But when listening to music requires headphones, I'm glad to miss as little as possible.
Born in 1968, I grew up with the first generation of Sony Walkmen and later I spent an arm and a leg for the WMDD II model. The headphones were crapish, but so was the audio cassette. Still loads of fun.
To not disturb at home, I recorded my mixtapes on a double tapedeck using better on ear headphones (dad's).
While studying, a side job brought funds and once a decent enough stereo setup was my own, I did aquire the over-ear headphones I could reasonably justify to spend money for towards the end of the 80ies:
Revox KH 3100. I believe them to be rebranded (and maybe tuned by Revox) Beyerdynamic 880s. I still have them today and find them still absolutely fulfilling all my needs.
Recently, I wished for a better set of IEMs (to replace some Sennheiser CX300s), and read through many threads here on head-fi. I'm thankful to all the contributors here and the Simgot EA500 I finally got are as good as my Revox.
Looking forward to contribute some more in the near future (waiting for approval).

Hello, as recommended for a start, this is my first post for all of you.
My name is Maurizio, I live in Rome and I love listening to the music (Jazz, Soul, Groove, R&B) with my headphones due to restrictions related to the space availability at home. Grado are my preferred Headphones (among others) paired with iBasso, A&K, Hiby, FIIO DAP. Tidal is my preferred service.
Looking forward to comment and post other topics.
Thanks to all.

Greetings. I'm new to this forum and have been looking at headphones more in-depth lately. Looking to possibly get into the world of better quality headphones and understanding them more.

Hello! I am FaeTheNefarious, or just Fae for short. I'm an young engineer that has a radio playing in my head whenever I'm not actually listening to music. I will likely lurk far more than I interact, but nevertheless I am glad to be here.
