Recently joined a forum for like-minded headphone/audio enthusiasts. WOW! what an eye opener.
I thought I was a bit of a headphone freak, always upgrading in the pursuit of my headphone nirvana. I have just upgraded to a pair of AKG 701 reference grade at.... well more or less a couple of hundred pounds.
On this new forum if a pair of headphones is less than $2000.00 and the DAC (headphone amp) is less than $2500.00 then they're not worth mentioning. I cringe when mine cost more than £150.00 (do you think I'm in the wrong place)
What really amazes me is that there must be getting on for 5000 ACTIVE members globally and there are always about 6 or 7 hundred members online at any time day or night.
They spend their time talking about core drivers, spatial enhancements, wood-enhanced soundstage and the fostex algorithm. WTF????
