Seattle Head-fi Meet at Front Panel Express October 2, 2010 - Page 3

I hope to bring the jkeny-modded M2Tech HiFace should it arrive in time. Otherwise, Samsung NC10 netbook running foobar, the stock M2Tech HiFace, Oyaide DR-510, Benchmark DAC1 Pre and HD650 with Moon Silver Dragon and Furutech connector. Perhaps I'll bring the Wright Sound AU-215i. The jkeny-modded M2Tech HiFace in BNC is a monster!

I am looking out of my window in the Seattle Municipal Tower and I cannot see you!!  Are you sure you are not feeding us a line?

I am hoping to make it to the meet as well.

P.S.  The primaries are next week.  So remember to Elect Ron Tube!  At least that's what was printed on my NOS GE 12AX7?

Haha...well...right now you can look up to the 13th floor and I'm there.  In a few minutes, however, I'm switching sites...to Fado's.

You mean down to the 13th floor!  I am almost at the top of the tower.  You have to come by and see the view.  Unlike some politico's, I probably could see Russia from my office.   Have one for me at Fado!

Cheers,

Wow, looks like we could organize a lunchtime meet downtown.  I'm at 3rd and Seneca!

Curby, I'll be interested to hear the two HiFace's back to back.  I have a stock one and was wondering how much better the jkeny might be. 

I'm going to try to make the meet.  It's been a while.  Not sure what I'll bring as I don't have any amazing new builds.  Maybe just the CKKIII with a CPU source hanging off a Shunyata Hydra 2 would do it.  Dunno.

Gil - if you talk to the FPE staff, could you ask them if we can bring an FPE order in that day?  I have one sitting on my computer and just never got around to getting it in the mail.  That would rock.  thx!

Done.  Several times in fact.  If you started getting light-headed, that might have been somewhere around my third pint. 

LOL...does sound like we have a bunch of people in the south downtown area here.  I'm down with grabbing lunch sometime.  I'm usually downtown on every weekday except Thursday.  I'm usually in Bellevue at the fulfillment center Thursdays.

With a few days notice, I can usually do lunch, although my life has been crazy these last few weeks.  I am normally out of the office every other Friday, but am game to meet up.  Any favorite places near by? O'Asian does Dim Sum that is not bad for being so close.  And if you want to head to the ID, there are a ton of restaurants.

BTW, does anybody local own, or has owned, a Rogue Audio Metis preamplifier?  Feel free to PM me if you have any info.

Thanks,

--Ken

i was talking with a speaker guy today and he told me about the pacific northwest audio society. http://www.audiosociety.org/   Just curious if anybody around here is already a member. Sounds cool. 1 get together a month for 2 hours just to talk about audio stuff with guest speakers and stuff.

I've been into diy audio projects for a few years now, but have never attended one of these.  Looking forward to it!

I believe they are holding a huge regional swap meet this Sunday off of Aurora Avenue and N. 175th.  I do not know if I can make it, but it sounds interesting, especially if you like to hunt for tubes.

Is there going to be a lot of table space? May need like 4- 5 ft.

I used to go to their meetings a number of years back.  Made some good connections, heard some amazing stuff, learned a lot!  Give it a try.  I think the membership is fairly priced for what you get out of it.
