Ok, let's see if the notification system works for poking people... otherwise I'll send out individual pms to everybody.

Next meet planned for Sunday July 16th
time: mid/late afternoon-ish?
location: Fort Richmond (backyard bbq)


edit: wow these are the only ones that seem to activate on the forum... hope this works:

You guys who I tagged in the earlier post, did you receive email notifications or only on the site?

Post only. May have something to do with the settings in notifications?

Yeah, I was hoping the system changeover would have made things more consistent but I think individual settings are different, and those who haven't logged on in a while automatically don't get updates or something like that. Hopefully when I send out PMs individually that people will get notifications in their email.

Haha, who wants a big headphone stand for their collection?

Also, for anyone interested in jazz music, I'm doing an event with the Winnipeg Jazz Festival:

It's a free outdoor event with a live band, all before the Postmodern Jukebox concert.

This will serve as a precursor to another event that I'm doing two weeks later:
https://www.facebook.com/events/302586470196522/
With another band, and a dance lesson beforehand.

This is a longshot, but from the last meet did anybody walk away with a usb cable they don't recognize? I've been searching all over for my Cowon S9 cable and it's not in any of my usual boxes. It looks a bit like a mini-hdmi cable. I know I can just get a new one for a couple bucks from ebay, but I hate the thought of cluttering up if the original one is still around somewhere.

I have penned in the meet, so expect me there.

Here is a list of gear I am thinking of bringing:

-DIY Symphones V7 headphones (my current go-to. I love these)
-Dan Santoni Headamp. I got it fixed! no hum, so smooth for an SS
-Vali (1st version)
-I also thought I would bring my 1970s electret again. I recently won a second pair (the condenser has two HP jacks) and they sound enjoyably different from each other. I think it is the aging process of the electrets. I would be interested to see which set people preferred (I can't make up my mind). It also think its just rad to buddy-up on 40 year old gear. Is anyone bringing a power amp? These need a fair amount of power. Last time we had them playing off the speaker taps on a Ragnarok, and that just powered one pair. I would worry about adding another set to that pairing.

Any interest in power conditions/filters? I recently got a Blue Circle Audio PLC puck and Outpost2. I really like them and would be happy to bring them over.

Okay. So someone tell me if I'm going insane or not. I honestly feel like I hear a slight difference in between JRiver and Foobar. I have all DSPs disabled and have tested them both with DirectSound, WASAPI, and ASIO, and I still feel like there's a slight difference. Does anyone else notice this?
