Wheeeee... Awesome thread
Starting ATH fan here... Currently a student so $$ to buy more gear.
Entered the head-fi world when my bro passed me his ATH-ES55 when he upgraded to the ES7 in March 2012. When I first listened to it, it was heaven. But after a while, I craved for more. So I went to listen to various headphones of different brands and realised that I really loved the Audio Technica sound signature. Could not resist the tempation and finally hooted a used ATH-ES10 on 1st November despite me originally planning to buy a new headphone only in March 2013 to protect my wallet a bit. Then I realised that I have to protect and take proper care of my investment. So I bought a used AT-HPP5 on 5th November as well as a microfibre cloth from daiso to wipe the headphone after use. Soon found the earpads to be abit bian, and ESW11LTD just released, so kanna poison to get the lambskin earpads as replacement (lucky stocks not in yet) After the headphone meet on Sunday, I fell in love with the ODAC+O2 combo and just hooted a used one on Christmas Eve. Well, it has been a rough journey this 2 months, hope that my wallet can finally take a long deserved break. (But considering the fact that I still don't have a DAP... I'm not really sure...) My brother would be using the ODAC+O2 first until he goes into Army in a few months =D
Setup:
Laptop > (ODAC+O2) > ES10
Sony Xperia Neo V > ES10
Gears in my house:
ES10 (+AT-HPP5)
ES7
ES55
ODAC+O2
Xperia Neo V
I think my next hoot would be the full sized Art Monitors or Air Dynamics for home use =D
Also would want to try ATH in ears as well as their amps next time.
