I'm in! Wherever Amazon may ship is fine by me. 

Quote: That is some very neat news! After years of playing the trumpet in orchestras and jazz bands, my ears have some odd dips in sensitivity that have made me curious about the plausibility of some compensatory tuning of IEMs.  On a related note, my credit card will officially be left at...

  I definitely skipped meals to fund my current equipment.  :-)

Could a "guest" be added to my name on this list?  A friend may be in attendance (visiting the area from Boston) but is not a head-fier.  Thank you!  

Hello, all,   CADiver (Dominic) has sold me his Sophia Princess Carbon tubes, which I use as my main 300B tubes in a WA5-LE for headphones only.  I auditioned the SP Carbons against the SP Mesh tubes.  Dominic suggested that I post some impressions of the differences in this thread, just to...

I am more certain now than before that I will be able to make it to the meet.  So, please add me to the list.   As mentioned previously, I plan on bringing an Audiolab 8200CDQ, a Woo Audio WA5-LE (Sophia Carbon Princess 300B Tubes), BeyerDynamic T1s, and some cherry-picked CDs to demo.   ...

I may be in attendance.  I am too unsure of my schedule at this point.  However, if I do attend, I will likely bring an Audiolab 8200CDQ, Woo Audio 5-LE, BeyerDynamic T1 headphones, and a couple of sets of tubes to roll.    I see that the Woo Audio family will likely be there.  Usually, he...

Hello, all,   Looks like the Pvsane 1:1 replica of the WE300B has indeed started to ship. Has anybody had a chance to hear them yet?    http://psvanetube.com/wordpress/store/products/psvane-we300b-11-replica/

Quote: Interesting!  I too played piano (before and while training on trumpet).  The recordings of piano that I have enjoyed most and purchased are "near" recordings, as one might hear it if performing it, vs hearing it while being in the audience.  Although I passively noticed the...

Quote: Agreed!  I had a chance to listen to such recordings on the aforementioned 009 - KGSSHV set-up not long ago.  It is almost disorienting!

Hello, Der Germane,   I too “suffer” from a similar “problem” when listening to music, especially “classical” music (e.g., orchestral music, chamber music, solo piano, etc.). I studied classical trumpet/music at a conservatory in the US for many years at one point, and so came to the...

Quote: Ah, I remember that lapse in judgement.  I almost reaped the benefit. 

I have thought a bit about HeadRoom amps lately, especially after having sold my Headroom Hybrid amp after a solid case of upgrade-itis after RMAF 2011. I am posting some of those thoughts here. If someone from HeadRoom is reading, and sees that I am wrong about some things, PLEASE feel free to...
