This is a multiple choice poll
  • 50% (8)
    3 stars: I had a lot of fun and it was totally worth the time and effort to get there with all my gear! It opened up my perspective about high-end headphones and I met awesome people; I will surely come back next similar time
  • 0% (0)
    2 stars: pleasurable, I met with cool people and discovered new gear, I might attend the next Montréal meet/event or not
  • 0% (0)
    1 stars: was good, but kind of less exciting than I thought, considering all the effort to organize, find a room, and transport my stuff. I have my reservations whether I'll return or not in the future
  • 25% (4)
    Hypothetical 3 stars: I was close to the location but because of work and/or other obligations I couldn't attend; saddens me a bit
  • 25% (4)
    Nothing, I do not even live in Canada nor am located in the same province! I came here to read impressions and possibly see people's photos

Kim's first impression post is certainly awesome :P and superb at relaying the experience of a smaller/comfier scale, friendly Head-Fi meet, from a first-timer's perspective. I'm glad it worked out well the way all of you are telling.

 

I certainly never expected we'd end up with such high-end gear, quite much variety in brands, a small contest/draw, a cake, when we --me, Glitched, and KimLaroux-- first wanted to get together in that old thread, previously unnoticed.

The Bryston (or from current impressions, the mjolnir) seem the way to go

 

I sort of feel like a terrible person for typing this... but the LCD-2 was still a bit bright for me and the highs seemed just a biiit rough. I guess I like super dark sound sigs and it's been making upgrading pretty tough! I love love loved what the EF6 did to my ESW9 and those are already pretty bassy with rolled off treble. Not quite sure where to go from here but I think a good tube amp is probably my best bet.

If you like rolled off treble than I guess a tube amp is definitely for you.
Personally I found the LCD2 to be too congested/dull with a tube amp while the HD800 softens up just enough to be more musical with a good tube amp.

IMO there was a huge difference between the rev1 and rev2 LCD2s at the meet; the r1 is a little too dark, and the r2 a little too aggressive. The LCD3s were just right in the treble.

Still can't get the files over >.> Very aggravating.

Can't you find a PC at your school that has a Firewire port? My 5 years old Dell laptop has a Firewire port. confused_face(1).gif

 

And how comes the school doesn't already have the equipment to copy over the footage from the camera? I would have expected them to offer the service as a prerequisite for the use of the camera. A camera that can't transfer it's recording over is as useless as a camera can be.

Apparently firewire ports are only common on macs nowadays (and old computers).
Being marianopolis, apparently we're all expected to have macs...
My old HP desktop has a firewire port so I'll try that.

Still on the camcorder... If someone has a MAC with firewire this would be so much easier.

Wicked, anxious for the video to be processed by youtube.

 

In other news, I was so impressed with the HE-6 that I decided to get myself a pair today. Now do I keep the HE-500's or sell to fund school books? confused.gif

The problem is more the 40kb/s upload speed with bell even though I'm promised around 150kb/s.
