This is the thread where you can list your gear.
I'll make a list with all the attendees and their equipment in the first post in order to keep a clear view on what / who's coming.
I will post the names of people who I know are coming and list some of their gear also that I think they'll bring. If I forgot something or listed anything that's not supposed to be up here do let me know, I'll adjust it asap.

Well, it depends whether I can arrange a car or not. If I can I'll bring:

Headphones:
Sennheiser HD650
Beyerdynamic DT880
Sennheiser HD250 II Linear

Sources:
Stello DA100
Phillips CD340 (transport)

Amps:
WooAudio 6
Porta Corda mkIII USB

Tweaks:
Teddy bear


If I'll go by train I'll bring the headphones, the portable amp and if I'm really feeling like it I'll bring the bear as well. The WA6 isn't very portable or luggable for that matter and the DA100 or the CDP aren't either.

Edit:
I'll bring a laptop as well btw. Since that is my main source after all...

OK, this is were it will all take place:

AudioXperience
Spegelt 66
5674CD Nuenen
Nederland

I will post route descriptions for car and train/bus in the beginning of March.

Start (opening) 10.00am for building up your set and at 11.00 we have sound check and as of 12.00 we have a go.
Final count down around 5 or so, with some 'uitloop'.

We will provide simple Snacks and Sandwiches during the day. Coffee, tea and drinks will be freely available, thanks to our sponsors (yet to determine which ). Donations are kindly accepted.

Lets make it a hell of a day!

Dex, great to see you joining the fun again.

Indra, great work on the list! I can bring the SET 805 amp -- but only if there's something to be driven with it. I don't think I'll have a K1000 so there's not much of a point in bringing it unless someone else has a K1000. I will however bring my preamp, the AVM V3. It works fine as a headphone amp and will be used to drive the Beyers. As a source I'll have a Vincent CD-S6. No more vinyl.

The Beyers are likely to be even more molested than they currently are....

Anyone favor a free pair of Cyburg Sticks? They are collecting dust. I could bring em along and give them to whoever wants them. Still no paint on them, but they sound pretty good.

Just remembered that I still have Hans' SilverCab PROline upgrade cable on loan. Looking forward to comparing it with Ralph's Moon Audio Silver Dragon cable!

Thanx! I added your preamp and cdp. I left the SET 805 on the list in case anyone is interested. If not, then leave it behind.

No more vinyl.....

A nice! Would like to compare it to my "stock" cable. That would be living on the edge for me but a little edgy is good....
