that sounds cool but I'm new to all this and don't want to make a fool of myself.
Since this is such an official meeting I should probably buy something. Any suggestions?
I don't think making an appointment and going in to see what there is out there, with your own ears(!) is foolish in any way. I think it would be foolish to pass up the opportunity.
At the end of the day your ears are the ultimate judge, so who cares if you are new, who cares if you don't have a background in electrical engineering. While it helps to know basic things, it is not necessary. Even if you didn't know anything people can appreciate a person that just wants to listen to high end stuff. Plus, they are above all sales people. It is their job to try and sell you something and if that means educating you a bit thats their duty. Thankfully they are some of the most knowledgeable people out there! Also, they might pressure you to buy something, or you might feel pressured anyways, but you are by no means obliged!
If I were you I would check out the mid range cans first, DT 880/990, K701, HD600/650, D2000. Then try one or two of them balanced (or all ^__^). Then go see how much of a difference there is with the HD 800, D7000, T1, PS1000. Might be hard to come to conclusions with so much to hear, but it would be fun nonetheless!
I hope you have fun and don't pass it up!
