It's always fun, looking forward to it!
Boy for a guy who said this was his last 5 years ago-you sound excited. LOL
I have the Koss ESP-950 (I use a Stax 323B to drive it). I often bring it to meets, along with my HE-1000. I find it mostly sits around unused, but I could bring it (it's not the upper echelon electrostat-usually someone has one of those there. It is pretty nice sounding, though imo).
Is anyone planning on bringing an e-stat system?
I know its a major PITA,but Ive never heard one and am quite interested in hearing what the hype is all about.
I will be bringing my Stax L700 as well. Got a good deal on it and it sounds amazing to me, even better than the L300. I only have the cheapest Stax amp (srs-252s) to go with it but the Lambda series aren't that hard to drive. Though maybe someone will bring a better amp (would love to try a Blue Hawaii! ^^).
Also, MrSpeakers has been developing an electrostatic prototype for a while now. I sincerely hope he brings it because I have heard it sounds comparable to the stax 009's and because all his headphones sound great.
Suggestions for vendors:
Beyerdynamic - Peter usually comes to these local meets as they office in Long Island.
Audio46 - This headphone store in Manhattan carries some unique brands, including Final Audio Design, that we don't often get a chance to hear. Wonder if they'd care to attend? (http://audio46.com/)
