Firstly a massive Thank You to the Head-Fi Community for being such a wonderful place to learn more about earphones, cables & audio in general over so many years.
I would particularly like to thank participants & contributors to the Head-Fi Watercooler thread, who have not only created a fantastic resource for discussing high-end earphones & cables but have welcomed me into the community, greatly enhancing my enjoyment of the hobby.
I would especially like to thank the following Head-Fi members:
Damz87 – For organising Australian portable audio tours & being famous in Korea
SteveK27 – For his many cable insights & fascinating discussions involving cables
Benno1988 – For his invaluable advice & assistance with my DIY cable endeavours
lycos – For being a fellow cable connoisseur & lending me his Venom cable
Also gracious thanks to Addicted to Audio in Melbourne for hosting our regular Australian Head-Fi meetups where we compare & discuss audio gear – we always welcome new participants so please email me if you’re interested in joining us sometime!
