About

Have listened extensively through various Sennheiser (HD650, HD600, etc.), Sony (MDR-V6, MDR-7505), and Grado (SR-225, SR-325) heaphones. Direct a team of AV specialists and oversee 4 movie theaters in a world-reknown institution. Home theater and 2 channel enthusiast. Yearly visits to CES, Infocomm, and HE shows. Live in NYC, home to some of the best live music venues around. (Everything from high-brow venues like Zankel Hall, Lincoln Center to Nokia Theater, The Village Vanguard, the Bitter End and everything in between.) I try to compare what I hear at concerts and high-end music shows to simluate and translate those experiences at a reasonable cost.
