neutralzz 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2005 i used to be a hifi person but took a headfi journey only a yr+ ago.. but it seems that after all these search.. listening, buying, selling and all.. i've still yet.. to discover sonic bliss i've just gotten myself a pair of old rogers.. and hooking them up with.. less expensive gear.. it seems that the hifi bug's bitten me again, especially with the juicy mids and silky sweet highs that i missed all these while. and it seems so alluring to.. quit headfi and go back to hifi again.. anyone faced something similar before? going on a long search... and back to square one eventually.. with a.. thinner wallet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heady 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2005 I used to be a hifi person too but went into headphones because family time left me with listening time only late at night. I rather listen to my hifi set than headphones. So I am not surprised at your discovery. Sorry about your wallet. It doesn't matter if headfi or hifi, the wallet gets hurt.

Charismatic 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2005 Both Headfi and Hifi can coexist. Stick to either way will still slim down your wallet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
av98m 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2005 Headphones are a compromise, thats for sure. Lack of space for a speaker setup, not being able be blast your speakers because of other family members, kids or neighbours etc are some of the reasons why people turn to headphones. I'd rather listen to speakers if I could! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ehlim 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2005 Me too. Music is so wonderful whether you have it Hi-Fi or HeadFi. Enjoy the software but many times we are too concerned about hardware and some went broke. It's your choice as long as you are enjoying!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lengcm 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2005 I'm not surprised at all. I started off with head-fi but ended up with hifi. A good speaker setup has definately much to offer than a headphone setup but much more expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neutralzz 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2005 i think i'm a into the phase of quitting headfi already.. quite serious of assembling my own ls3/5a, using stirling cabinets. i've got a pair of unused kef t27 tweeters already.. friend posting over from uk just need to get the kef b110 or a better substituent that can handle power much better.. and the crossover done up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
av98m 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2005 I've now officially quit head-fi. Its pretty liberating not to have to wear anything on my head anymore! I was very happy with the sound of my headphone setup, but in the end comfort/ergonomics issues forced me to give it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

afbug 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2006 I will quit one day. I usually have a short interest in any particular hobby. Audio is one that can get me my attention longer, so maybe in a few months to max a year, i'll prob move onto something else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evil-zen 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) to me, headfi is just a stepping stone towards proper speakers. speakers are $$$ while headfi is so much more bang for the buck. Edited January 16, 2006 by evil-zen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1bit 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2006 yeah, i'll stay with head-fi and what i've got for now not enough money and no room for proper stereo equipment yet although i notice some songs are better played with speakers, take pink floyd for example with headphones it sounds so upfront and "in your head" compared with listening from speakers but there are other songs that sound great with my current headphone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
