Hello, my name is Eric aka Erik aka NymPHONOmaniac and i’m a AA (Audio Addicted). I’m a french 39y old artsy dude with the mind of a 1000y old and the hearth of 10y old.
Ive been horsing around mostly on headfi and facebook audio communities for the last 10 years. I’m a bit infamous for temper issue, or overly critical listening that make some audio companies despise me. Temper issues are solve now.
I’m a reviewer for No Borders Audiophile as well as creator of 2 groups: NBBA:No BS Basshead Audiophiles and Chifi Love.
I’m an open minded audiophile that love different tonal balance, especialy W shape one. I tend to rarely love timbre or find tone not enough versatile for all music genre I listen too.
I listen to Jazz, Classical, IDM, EDM, Drum&bass, electronic, Folk, Rap, Soul, R&B, worldmusic, indie, rock, instrumental metal, lotta female singers, few male singers, and tend to avoid bad recording, so while i like Johnny Cash or Serge Gainsbourg, it’s sometime ears rape to me in term of hissy background and strange dynamic rendering.
I give benefit of doubt to cables sound transmission improvment as well as burn in. And don’t care debating about this.
I agree to disagree and let alpha male audiophile fight between themself. And find it funny.
I own about 300 IEMs but use 10 of them max.
We can say im an anti-hyper, unless overly enthusiast i tend to be a pessimist reviewer.
I like humour but can offend people with it, if taken in first degree. I can’t handle people without sens of humour or flexibility of mind.
Anyway, i’m here to have more fun than on headfi, were i can’t even write ‘‘wtf’’ or shit or BS or fuck or even crap.
Freedom of mind and integrity are prime value to me.
Cheers!
