Audiophile or Audio-Phool? I don’t claim to have golden ears with magical properties or any ability to create music. But I have a deep appreciation for music, founded at a young age and curated over the years.

I dabble in electronics repair and amp building. My daily listens are typically tube amps and vintage speakers. I appreciate high-resolution digital files and maintain a healthy vinyl addiction. I equally like new shiny, and old lustre. Heck, my antique car still sports a minidisc deck.

Headphones became a primary music source when a baby came along. As they say, I haven’t looked back.

I’m also unapologetically a gearhead and love lights, buttons, meters, switches, and especially things made from traditional wood, leather, metal, and glass.

I run the Headphone Audio, Headphone Gear for Sale, and Headphone Offers Facebook groups.

As with everything, take it all for what it is: this is just one person’s opinion.
