Hi,
how about you with your headphones and other things Dac / amps when you use it, do you sometimes get to the point where you are bored somehow?
I started with the Fostex Tr x00 with the Fostex Hp A3 Dac / amp and was actually satisfied, then it suddenly started to get a little more punchy here and there.
Then the Magni and Loki came there, later the Vali 2 and so on.
In the meantime I ended up with 3 headphones that I can call my own.
I look less for audio now, even if I have enough of the D7200 I take the Fostex or the D2000 in my hand and listen to it, depending on my mood.
Then there are days when I would like this and that again.
My wife already says I’m addicted to it.
I like to be diverse, which sometimes makes it difficult because I like variety.
that’s how it is with many things.
I don’t have 3 cars now, but 3 scooters that I repaired and rebuilt on my own, that’s how it is with headphones, if I don’t like what I send it back or sell it.
My new achievement is a D2000 that I was able to buy cheap and have rewound and was full of joy and realize again Hey how about this and that could really sound good and so on.
If it were up to me and I also had the money for it, I probably would have let everything come at least once.
Are you the same way or is it mine?
I’m still lucky that my wife still does that even if it sometimes costs you annoyance
I want to change it somehow but something the little man in my head annoys me with it again and again and it’s not even bad stuff what’s there.
What do you mean addiction, hobby, a delusion?
how are you doing?
Do you just buy what is good where and give peace of mind or do you look like women instead of handbags for Dac / amps, headphones
It took me more than five years to learn what kind of sound I like. I did find sounds that I like, but then I realized that I get bored quick and like to change it up.
My “end game” set- up will consist of 5 to 6 headphones and 4 to 5 amps. Then life will be/is now:
I look at my headphones and pick a pair, the Koss E95X. I listen to that system every day for a week, maybe less.
Bored with them, I grab my Grado’s and plug them into my tube amp. I listen for several days straight. Then one day I look at my Grado’s and they bore me.
Then I grab my Elex’s, plug them into my LP and start again.
yes the google translator is sometimes stupid.
I. united with the Denon 2000 that I bought and restored cheaply.
Well, I didn’t consider the diverse range of amps, although I had two and reduced it to one, partly because my wife complained.
And whether there will be more headphones for sure.
It bothers me somehow. It doesn’t even matter what I have. I also like how everything fits together. Only at some point did I get fed up. Strangely, it is different than with a hi-fi system in the living room like back then, and the headphones are somehow different.
apart from a small collection, there is nothing to be said against it.
And I also have ideas about what should sound like. I don’t like it when it sounds too cold, analytical or sterile.
I wonder if it is because the ear has got used to it and the head says something else.
I can not have worn it for weeks then it grabs me again and think wow.
Is that normal?
There are also days when I listen to music that doesn’t sound like anything and think tonight choose one and listen to it again. I’m looking forward to it. So really funny.
Your idea is very nice with the amps and headphones, it will take some time until I am ready.
