Misc Stuff

[Luminette]

I am in

Huge thanks to ASR for turning this out and getting Singlepower to host! You are the man. I'm gonna bring $5 to donate, if anyone else is up for it, we could do a donation pooling for them.

As for equipment I'll be bringing-

v3(Closed) DarthBeyers w/ BlackGold cabling
TTVJ Millet Hybrid Portable
5.5g 80gb iMod

that list will be added on to a lot in the time between now and then

[craiglester]

I'm in too..

Not sure on the gear yet. Probably my MS-1s K340s and A/250s. Possibly my Squeezebox and a laptop server, and my Number cruncher and Headfive.

[Luminette]

I'd def like to hear the k340s, post back when you're sure of what you will bring

[HeadphoneAddict]

I am in.

Equipment: Ultrasone Edition 9 and ALO re-cabled HFI780, Grado HP-2, Denon D2000 APS v2 cable, RSA Predator, iMod 5.5G, iBasso D1 with optical out Macbook/iRiver and Sony PCDP.

My arms will be full, so not sure about these - possibly a stock portable STAX SR-001 Mk2 and a SuperFatCat modded SR-001 Mk1 as comparison. Possibly some APS re-cabled woodied HF-1 and ALO SR-60 with the same mods, and maybe re-cabled RS-2 also.

[Blutarsky]

Hello folks,

I'm in too!

I will be bringing: (updated 7/16)
Phones - DB V3, Grado PS-1, HP1000/HP2, HP1000/HP-1 and ALO mod'd HF-1
Amps -Zana Deux and Melos SHA-Gold (if the Melos and HP1000/HP-1 arrive in time)
Source: MacBook Pro with Apogee Duet DAC (maybe Stello DA100 if folks are interested)

Looking forward to the meet!

[Vladco]

I may come in too. It’s depends on time and location.
I could bring in dynalo, M3, PPA2V2 and original PM. SOHA and pimeta are options also. All amps are desktops. I've got DT990.

Hmm. Since a salt lake city head-fi meet would probably be me and two other guys, maybe I'll try to make it to this one.

And by 'make it' i mean drive my GTI up there with a trunkload of orthos and vintage AKG.

Edit: my friend in denver is now holding onto an absurdly cheap pair of ohm walsh 3 speakers for me, so i'm going to try Really Hard to make it out there. It's only about an 8 hour drive, right?

so, a list of stuff i would almost certainly bring:

Amps:

Bijou (for sure)
CK2III (if there's interest)
SOHA (Perhaps. Synergizes well with 600-ohm AKG)
Mini3v2 (why would i leave home without it?)

Headphones:

Yamaha YH-100 (for sure)
Yamaha YH-3 (Very probably)
Yamaha YH-1 (if i figure out what's gone wrong with the right-side driver)
Realistic Pro 30 (dead serious. You won't believe what you could have bought at radioshack in 1982.)
AKG K145 (certainly)
AKG K240 Sextett MP (probably, unless a lot of sextetts are going to be there)
AKG K240-DF (not enough people know this can)
AKG K340 (that's right, the K340 i don't like so much. I'd like to A/B it with K340's that people say they love)
Fostex T20v2
Fostex T40v1 (perhaps)
Maior RPT-50 (if i get it back from wualta, and if i can fix it's slight crackle)
MB-Quart QP85 floats (Might be pointless at a noisy meet)
Beyerdynamic DT880-S Edition 1980 (for the historical curiosity, and maybe only if i can score some DT550 pads for it)

If we're getting close to the day, and you're going to be there, and you see a headphone in my profile that you would like to hear, feel free to ask me to bring it. But don't bug me about it until about a week before the meet, or i'll just forget.

Sources:

I'm not much of a source collector. iRiver H120 will be in tow, and i can bring a reasonably decent denon cd player - the model number escapes me at the moment. Perhaps a laptop and an outboard DAC as well.

Electrostatics:

Wishywashy about this. If there is interest i can drag along some 'stats. Perhaps just my Sony ECR-500, and my Akai UC-W5 stereo power mini-amp to drive it's transformer box.

I could bring my Stax SR-X III but it doesn't pair well with the Akai, and the ECR-500 doesn't pair well with my Rotel integrated mini-amp. And i don't want to bring two power amps to drive two 'stats. if you really need to hear the SR-X III, and nobody else is bringing one (I'm looking at you, headphone addict), bug me about it in july.

It is only an 8 hour drive
