Head-Fi Meet Impressions, Trade Show Reports, Factory ToursThis sub-forum will serve as an archive location of past Head-Fi Meet impressions, trade show reports and factory tours.
that looks like a very nice meet! It makes me very very sad since I couldn't be there...... All that nice equipment. I'd kill to hear the Ultrasone ED9 or some other portable and non-portable headphone amps.
I also really wanted to hear some Grado's and those Beyerdynamics.
And I also, like Indra, would love to hear the K701 in a proper setup since I really noticed the potential of the K701 but sold it because I simply didn't had the power to drive them to that full potential.
And that table with all those Ultimate Ears IEM's just got me numb. I Love headphones sooo much but from the very beginning I'm an IEM guy.... I've heard many but never the Ultimate Ears. That table rocks imho!!
Looks like a very nice meeting and a very good host! I just have to find some time soon to visit hans' shop.
I could just kick myself for not being there........
Now I have to go and wipe my footprint off my derriere...

Oh, you sold them already? I too was very dissapointed when my Larocco was unable to drive them properly. You can smell their possible potential but you can't find the freshly baked cake anywhere

LOL haha
On a sidenote; ultrasone must be praised for its impeccable speedy service. I got an email from Rogier yesterday that he finished them and would bring them to the postoffice that very same day in person.
And today my bf called me from work they had arrived! So I rushed over there on my bike and they are back in my possesion again and look better than ever! The new headband is way better than the older one as you can't hear it crack anymore. Really very good

That's just fabulous news, Indra!
Now, I'm old enough to remember when 1-day photo service seemed mighty impressive, but 1-day headphone repair? Unbelievable!
What a nice day it have been. Like donkey says "Let's do that Again!!" I personaly was really impressed with the q-jays. And finaly had a chance to check out the famous etymotic 4p. Impressive! My Shure E3 is now really gone be replaced. Still woundering how "der swing" from uhr und more is gone sound. I have aditioned the shure e500 before, but was not impressed enough. U can read my review of it here. Also fun to discover the soundquality of a piezo headphone.
And many thanks for the people who made it possible and let's us play with there goodies. And Hans, many thanks for the nice room and good food.
I hope next time i can bring some interesting stuff like the neurophone, (a diy) pleasure board/pump and my own version of a PPA design.
Can't wait for the next meeting...

Yas, I already sold them. I liked them in some special way... but they were useless in some aspect since I'm not able to power them and since I'm mostly on-the-go. K701 is no on-the-go headphone.
Furthermore, the HFI-2200 is the headphone I reach for the most......I really missed the low notes in the K701. This is probably due to the fact it was seriously underpowered.
Hahaha, that is brilliant. Perhaps you should sell it as acoustic treatment? One of those in the room; the soundstage opens up and the control over the bass improves tenfold!
