I'm HeadphoneAddict on Head-Fi.org forums, and I'll be at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest and CanJam this September in Denver/Aurora. I found the forums to become fatiguing with the same old questions asked over and over. I also could not keep up with all the newest developments in other brands than my favorites - it was costing me a fortune.

I have a plethora of DAC's and Amp's, but my big rig has a PS Audio Perfect Wave Mk2 DAC feeding an Eddie Current ZDT tube amp with the partial silver transformer upgrade. I use a Moon-Audio silver dragon balanced cable with my HD600/650 or Audeze and HiFiMan headphones, and their Black Dragon cable with my HD-800.

I also use a CEntrance HiFi-M8 with my MacBook on all my headphones and IEM, or their BlueDAC for my Balanced Westone and JH Audio in ear monitors.

PS: My only Audeze headphones are the LCD-2 V2 and Mobius. My HiFiMan collection is more extensive, including the most recent HE-1000se with balanced cable and HE-1000 v1, Edition-X V2, HE-560, HE-500, HE-5LE, original HE-5 V1, and HE-300, plus the RE-1000 IEM and RE-2K.

The current HE-1000se are some of the best headphones I've heard that one can live with day in and day out. They even upstaged the HE-1000 v1 that I have. And the Edition-X that were discontinued recently are fantastic un-amped, and more lively than the ones that replaced them (albeit slightly colored in the midis).

Most of the Audeze planar magnetic headphones are too heavy for me - they hurt my neck.

A few days away from the world with the family and the Baltic Aquascaphe. Staying in a cabin on the Cornwall/ Devon border with no electricity etc.. Perfect for a full unwind! The Baltic stood up well to playing in the waves yesterday and thanks to my new (ish) toy we've still got great espresso for breakfast 😀

Wooooo 1k post day!
As such, I'm wearing the reason I was lurking here for quite some time prior to joining up proper and slapping the Big Eared One as the Ava.

Getting ready for an Saturday departure. The missus is joining me on this trip! Enjoying my Sub before slipping on the workhorse Seiko.

A ‘new’ one joined the collection.



As the close observer might notice; service is required. Off to the watchmaker over the weekend... Briefly pre-worn today. 😀
Nice! .012-68 or .022-68/69?

My first pocketwatch. An 1871 key set 11J Elgin G.M. Wheeler ( 1st year of the “Almanac” run)..Fahy coin silver casing. I could only imagine where this watch traveled.
