Can anyone confirm if any of these headphones will be there? I'm about an hour and a half from Babylon NY, so any info on this would be great so I don't drive up if none of these cans will be there.

I'm going to do my dangest to make this one, DaveDerek's been bugging me for eons to make one. 

 

Not sure if I'll be bringing equipment, I hope to; but some liquid refreshments of Scottish origin are very likely (if allowed) smile.gif

Could you please clarify what it means to bring something to a meet? I'll be more than happy to bring my limited gear, but I'd really like to avoid having to either babysit it or worry about it taking a walk.

The following could be made available:
  1. RSA SR-71B
  2. Millett MiniMax (provided my build is successful)
  3. Objective2 (again, provided my build is successful)
  4. CMoyBB v2.03R

I'd love to hear a Centrance HiFi M8 if anyone's received theirs by then. I've opted to wait for some listening impressions with IEMs before taking the plunge on that one.

Thanks.

Means you're gonna bring it. Read over the last few pages, we've discussed the nature of bringing things to meets. I would love to hear that RSA SR-71B.....

I've read every post in the thread and even went back to re-read the last three pages and don't believe I've seen anything to answer my specific question. How about if I trade you the right to listen to my 71B in exchange for an answer to my question? tongue.gif

It's a take it at your own risk, but most of the people you will find quite nice. Last meet-up lots of gear was brought and left on a table and at the end of the day everyone had put everything back in its place. I wouldnt worry too much

You bring your gear, find an empty spot on an available table (usually table space is on a first-come first-served basis), and set up your "personal display" for anyone to hear. So usually it's best if you have a complete system to bring - source, amp, headphones. If you don't have either source or headphones, then you find someone else's source & headphones to hijack off. You'll find that most Head-Fiers will be very accommodating in that aspect - I've done it myself lots of times. Of course if you intend on hijacking off someone else's gear, bring spare cables!

 

You should only "babysit" your gear if there's some operational issue that you think needs to be supervised; otherwise you should mingle! The only people that really need to babysit their gear are MOTs for obvious reasons. The point of a meet is what it says, to "meet" your fellow Head-Fiers. You can't easily do that if you're sitting behind your table. I recommend always sitting in front of someone else's table. smile.gif

Gotcha. Thank you. Hopefully you'll enjoy auditioning the 71B. smily_headphones1.gif

Interesting. Thanks for the info. My goal is, indeed, to meet people and listen to other peoples' gear.

I was thinking that most people would be walking around with their personal set of headphones around their necks. I guess I'll have to hijack as, by design, I don't have much gear (bit of a neat freak and don't like to waste money) so won't have much to bring in the way of cables and such.

My long-term intention is to have one portable setup (currently iPhone 4S -> LOD -> RSA SR-71-B -> Moon Audio Silver Dragon v1 IEM cable - > JH13 Pro Freqphase) and another for sharable, home listening (ideally a tube-based setup with high-end over-the-ear headphones).

I'll be bringing a foobar-->HUD-MX1 dac --> Emmline HR-2 setup. My "big guns" are IEMs but I'll bring along a Grado 60i and ATH-M50. I might upgrade the dac before the meet, who knows!

EC Super 7
