So wait, you got new headphones???
Seriously though....about a year ago I got a pair of Sony studio monitor headphones (Sony MD 7506...in case anyone is wondering) and after a good deal of breaking in, I'm now going back and listening to all my old records (well....cds) and I'm hearing stuff I never heard before. Lots of extra levels and new sounds popping out of the mix and its wonderful. The above message was a spur of the moment thing after hearing some amazing bass lines on an album I've probably listened to well over 1000 times and just wasn't aware of. To actually get a response from Kathy was not in my wildest imagination. I'm so happy that my message arrived to her on a day when she was having a hard time with her mothers alzheimer's (something I wasn't aware of when I sent my message).
But one of the things I'm looking forward to as I approach retirement (in 20+ years!) is being able to sit back and listen to music on a great pair of headphones.
