Anyone think a headphone forum might be a cool idea? Lot's of us interested in headphone setups, here, I supect, but I don't see a forum open...

True, and i guess it would help educate the other guys on this forum about headphones, i see you have an iPod mini congrats (they aren't even out over here yet!) I'm sticking to my 15 gigger until they have a higher capacity mini

And my vote also...I'll also ask Spectre and see if he's interested.
BTW...cwick...nice to find someone with a similar H/P setup to mine(TEAC VRDS CD/Perpetual Technologies P1A/P3A/Earmax/Sennheiser).....what I use when I want a bit of peace and quiet.

Fantastic. Head-Fi is abit "US-flavour" but I don't mind that. I've lived outside of the UK all my adult life, so I guess I've become abit "US" myself ....G'night John boy

If you're stateside,have you had a look at Headroom's site....certainly one of the most enthusiastic sites on the net,and one of the most useful in general terms.
A pity we don't get any of their gear over here,as I'd certainly be interested.

Busy man!.....I've been thinking about changing my Sennheisers to a set of the 650's,but havent got round to it for various reasons.
Very happy with the Earmax,and I think I'd only think of changing to something like a Headroom Max or similar.

Well, I got mine from Headroom for 350.00 USD, which translates to £192 Sterling at todays' rate. Couldn't say "no" at that price, and it was nice to support Headroom.
The Earmax is supposed to be a great amp. I got the PPA with Diamond Buffer & AOS DAC from Larocco. Also added a gain switch and a stepped attenuator

Actually, I've changed my mind and would like to retract my vote. I'm already considering HD650's and an X-Can V3 and, quite frankly, having to read about 'phone stuff here and at head-fi will probably melt my plastic. At least most of the kit they talk about is harder to get here.
That's the trouble with these headphone toys - pricey, sure, but next to plasmas, AV amps and video processors, they're pocket money.

Yep...melt that plastic.....as for cheap...not too sure about that....a look at the Headroom Blockhead(!) or the Sennheiser Orpheus might cause you to revise that statement...even my little pile amounts to a couple of £ks worth of HP system(not that my wife knows luckily!)

Yep, I think I've now got over $5000 in my headphone setup. That might be cheap by some's standards, but not mine

If she who must be obeyed had any idea....the cost of my gear would seem cheap by comparison with the price that would be exacted from me!
