Hi labrown -- No, this event is a different format than the Head-Fi event at Echo last year... At this Saturday's event, manufacturers (CypherLabs, Coffman Labs, Auralic, and maybe a couple others) are bringing in their newest products for everyone to try. So there aren't open...

Look forward to seeing you there!

Quote: Yep -- Atrium 318 -- that's the one. The Coffman H1-A is currently hooked up to a Parasound CD1 which is a really nice player. So if anyone wants to bring their own CD to listen, feel free!   I also visited several booths downstairs in the headphone area.  Among many great...

I look forward to seeing you all there...Got my bags packed and headed out tomorrow morning!  At the Seattle Head-Fi event a couple weeks back, Coffman Labs brought their new H1-A Tubed headphone amp. For Newport, they will have one for demo in Atrium Hotel 318 in addition to their other hi-fi...

I just got back to Portland and also wanted to jump in and say thank you for all the effort coordinating the event! Another huge thanks to everyone who brought equipment.  This was my second meet -- It was great to put more names (handles) with faces and listen to some stellar gear!  Damon...

Hi Flatmap -- I'm excited to come up! The H1-A has an adjustable lo-med-hi impedence setting which helps it pair very well with various headphones. At the Portland event we heard it with the 800s which sounded great -- and also Audeze LCD2s, AKG 701s, a variety of Grados, plus several others...

Hi all -- Damon Coffman, Coffman Labs, has finished building his all new standalone H1-A headphone amplifier.  He had the prototype debut at the Portland Head-Fi meet a few weeks back, and there was some great feedback shared with him. With input of Head-Fiers a few changes were made to the...

And my last five:        

And a few more        

Hi All -- here are my photos from the meet:          

Thanks again to all of you for coming to Echo, sharing your equipment, and for making the event such a fun success. I attended CanJam last year, but this was my fist local meet and I enjoyed meeting you and listening to all your rigs.     I've lurked the Head-Fi forums for a few years now...

For those not able to attend today, we miss you!  But Echo Audio started a photo album on their Facebook page so you can get a feel for the event.    Thanks again to so many folks who brought their gear!   https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151318413805994.456786.65921940993&type=3

Quote:   Hi tattare - at the meet come find me and I'll give you some other suggestions of places to check out.  The vast majority of Portland does not have ambience accentuated with razor wire, I promise :-)  There are many wonderful places you need to see.  BTW: the Wonder does sound...

Quote: Hi anoxy -- no, mostly setup help between 2-3p will be appreciated.  Thanks for doing.  See you soon!

I just got back from Echo Audio sorting out a few logistical details for our get together tomorrow.  Some updates/quick reminders for attendees:   EVENT TIMING 3-7p: The store is open for business as usual in the morning, and our event is 3-7pm.  We have arranged some snacks and drinks...

I talked with Damon Coffman from Coffman Labs yesterday.  Some fun news: Over the last several months he has been working on an all-new design for standalone, tubed headphone amp. He will have his very first production unit make its debut at our meet.    He commented that he's meeting the...

Quote:   No, it won't...  mostly just setup help at your table.  thank you for doing!

Thanks again to our volunteer table captains -- look forward to seeing you around 2pm Saturday!   #1: DenonBeaver #2: anoxy #3: Budgie (to be confirmed) #4: R-Audiohead #5: MusicPDX

Quote:   Great idea -- I'm glad to bring name tags for the group!

Quote:   Absolutely -- want everyone to come and enjoy the event and have all the time they want to explore!    The biggest Table Captain help needed is during setup --  as folks bring in pieces and need a spot to land them, I'd like to make sure someone is at each table to help...

Quote:   Hi All -- just wanted to make sure everyone had the latest on time for the meet:  2pm setup for those bringing equipment. and 3pm start.   Also, any others willing to be a table captain in addition to DenonBeaver and myself?  I'd like to have 3 more volunteers to cover all 5...

Quote:   Of course -- please do come! Sounds like we have a ton of gear arriving, so no need to bring anything except yourself

Quote: Outstanding! The Reverend always puts on a great show

DenonBeaver -- thanks so much for volunteering.  You are officially captain of table #1!

Hi All -- an update an ask for a few volunteers...   I'm sorry about this, but after conversations with the team at Echo we'd like to shift the time of our event by an hour, making it Saturday March 2, from 3-7pm.  (2-3pm setup for folks bringing equipment).   The store  normally opens at...
