Is there any audiophiles on here?
Hey folks I was wondering if there are any audiophiles on here besides me. With the 986 stored away for the winter I tend to listen to my system more often. I just picked up my first pair of midfi headphones. They are the Hifiman HE400s model. They sound pretty awesome, but I read on a forum about some cheap mods to make them sound even better. Kinda like the car, I can't ever leave well enough alone. :D

sorry, my ears are shot from 15 years of Rock and Roll touring

Well Jay that will do it :cheers:

Yep! I've been obsessed with audio since I was 15 years old...
|
yes I am and have passed it down to my 14 year old son who wants a cassette player for his vintage stereo that I bought for myself but gave to him! He wants a 944 for his first car

Put a very nice system in the boxster - focal speakers, JL amp and sub, alpine head unit. The stock system is hardly worth listening to if you can even hear it. This upgrade is a very satisfying upgrade.
I use IEM's rather than headphones, but have heard great things about those 'phones... |

Happy to :-)
Here are a few picts of the install. Nothing to see for the speakers, as they are behind the stock enclosures.

My frunk currently stands as such: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/6-...J=w944-h532-no Stuffed inside my stock amp is my signal processor that will handle all my crossover and equalizer needs. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Ju...j=w944-h532-no As far as this thread goes... I can't concede that I am an audiophile by the stereotypical definition. I don't de-static vinyl records before playing them on a $10,000 turntable, pay $500 for a meter of interconnect or lift my speaker wires off the ground with maple posts. I do however very much enjoy music and building home and car audio systems. |

My home speakers are on spikes, and ceramic tiles - I just didn't pay [a lot] for them. The wire for them is 10g industrial panel wiring, techflexed and shrink (shrunk?) wrapped by me. I like experimenting with cheaper stuff, and occasionally spending too much. My car stereo history is long, but in my last car I made partial tweeter arrays that mounted to the windshield. Three 28mm soft domes on each side was amazing to listen to. |
