Charlotte Area Meet January 20th, 2013 - Page 11

I'll bring my laptop and a Dacmagic. May bring a Pioneer RT-909 reel to reel if I haven't sold it by then. I can bring my IPOD if someone wants to hook it up to something. I could also bring a Pioneer DV-46Aav DVD player which plays SACD and DVDA

Happy to say that the Bottlehead Crack can be added to the headphone amp list.  I also have an HE-6 on the way, but I probably won't bring it to the meet if there will already be 2.

 

I'll be bringing my Macbook Pro as well.

 

I can bring an original K702 and we can compare 'em.

 

 

I'll bring sources. An iPod and a couple LODs for portable devices. I haven't decided what to bring for the non-portable devices yet, but probably a Mac and a DAC with RCA outs.

There will be multiple K702's I believe, mine is also on the list. Looks like there will plenty of LCD's to give a spin as well!

Too bad no one has a set of T-1's. that would complete the list of the ones I want to compare.

I should have mentioned, Is anybody interested in hearing an old pair of Sennheiser HD-590?  They're from 2005, I mostly just kept them because they were my first "real" headphone.  I can bring them along too, just wasn't sure if anyone would be interested or not.

"Looking over the gear list in post #2 I've noticed a lack of "source" gear. Does anyone have anything to add here?"

 

Good observation Alex. You're not just another pretty face like all the others think you are. I know better. 

 

Regarding sources, I have to ask you to remove my CARY 303/300 from the list as the right channel went out on me and it is likely a chip problem. I don't know if it will be repaired in time for the Meet. I am hoping a few other good ole fashion CD players will make their way to the meet. If not, I can bring my

CARY 306SACD but it is a bit of a pain. Regardless, I will do what best serves the group. 

 

Also, I will bring my Woo Wee for anyone who brings electrostatics or wants to hear their K1000 through it. I will bring my Jade and Stax O2Mk2 headphones to add to the fun.

Well, now that everyone has listed there high end, moothwateringly amazing source gear, I can add an iPod touch 4th gen (i think) I'll also be bringing my laptop along. It supposedly has a high end sound card...but to be honest i don't remember, as it went out some time ago. I seem to recall only one channel runs out of it. I think it's a soldering issue. Regardless, it does have a CD/blu ray player, so i can play CDs out of it so long as it's through a USB dac. 

I'm perfectly content with 320kbps MP3's coming out of a good DAC most times, but I also (thankfully for my sanity) don't have golden ears. I know this can be a taboo subject though, which is why I'll also be bringing FLAC. My CD collection is in a box in my parents garage 800 miles away :/

Oh, on the note of CD's, I have a fair bit of rock. A bunch of the Rush remasters albums, some Chevelle, Rise Against, Linkin Park, etc any one interested in me bringing them? 

I have a Sony XL 777 ES SACD player I can bring. Didn't know anyone would be interested. I can't remember the last time I used it, everything I listen to now is ripped.
