I'm in. I can bring: AKG K1000 LCD-2 Red Wine 30.2 amp Red Wine Isabellina HPA dac / headphone amp

I'm in.  I was hoping to attend the February meet but I came down with a cold the day before, so I'm really looking forward to this one. I'll be bringing pretty much the same gear as I've brought in the past:   AKG K1000 Grado HP-1000 (HP1)  Audeze LCD-2   Red Wine 30.2 Red Wine...

Thanks CEE TEE,   You host a great party!

Thanks CEE TEE,   You host a great party!

My experience with the fit for my UERMs was a bit bumpy.  I had my impressions done at the meet last year.  It took four adjustments to get the fit right.    Now they're comfortable and I can easily wear them for hours, but it took quite a while (sending them back and forth) to get them that...

Hi CEETEE,   With the exception of a few minor tweaks, I'll be bringing the same gear as last year.  I'd prefer to be placed in the 'quiet' room.  I'll bring:         Grado HP-1000 (HP-1)     AKG K1000 - hardwired Equinox     LCD-2 - Norse 8-wire Norn     ...     Red Wine...

Hmmm....  It looks like maybe I misread it.  I think you're right.

This should be interesting:  

Red Wine has partnered with Audeze to produce a balanced amp designed specifically for the LCD-2. http://redwineaudio.com/components/audeze_edition

Here are my (slightly delayed) mini-meet impressions:   Horio’s turntable playing the Beatles White Album through Purrin’s Stax headphones was a revelation.  While playing the ‘Revolution 9’ track backwards we could hear ‘Paul is Dead’ reproduced with authority and treble extension that...

Quote: I also wish to thank Andrew for sharing his home with us.   And... I've heard that the rumors that CeeTee is planning to book Giants Stadium for the next meet are probably not true.  

Quote:   The UERM highs at this point are similar to my LCD2 (with Norse cable).  The LCD2 presentation actually has a bit more 'air' than the UERM.    At the risk of side tracking the thread into a discussion of burn-in, I think it's important to note that my impressions of the...

After all of 30 minutes with my new UE Reference Monitors, here's my initial impressions: The sound is very well balanced and crystal clear.  It's slightly laid back and should be easy to listen to for hours without fatigue. The highs remind me of my LCD-2. It has good bass but it's not...

Mkubota1, Nice write up.   Quote: When I saw tengen's comment about not receiving a 1/4" adapter with his UE18s , I thought I was going to have to go out and buy one.  But I remembered seeing it on the UE web page, so I double checked.  It's listed on the 'Specifications' tab for the...

I am SO jealous!  I'm still waiting for the shipment notification for my pair (ordered on 2/28).   This is probably the wrong thread for this question, but I'll ask here anyway.  Does anyone know what amount of break-in (if any) the IEMs require? 

  Quote: Thanks for the reply.    I guess I've come to assume that vendors of audio gear will always present their equipment at its very best.  Your approach is certainly honest.  Due to my own assumptions, it surprised me a bit.    Could the different approach be attributed to...

Quote: Maybe.  But if he sold a lot more UERMs by lugging around Isabellinas, he'd have enough money to hire someone to do the lugging for him.      

Quote: Yes.  The UE rep at the meet had attendees add their names to a list, along with their email address and the IEM they were interested in.  UE subsequently contacted those attendees via email.   FWIW -- UE really needs a better way to demo their IEMs.  The universal fit adapted...

<blockquote>That and my dastardly plan! </blockquote>   Ah Haaa!  I have my proof!  We've succumbed to the plot of CEE TEE -- the evil mastermind of the audio/industrial complex!   We must retaliate!  CEE TEE will be at the top of the next Bay Area Head-Fi meet guest list!   Tempt...

Hi CEE TEE,   Ok, maybe I'm being a little rough on you.  After all, it's not entirely your fault  that we're all becoming impoverished!

I just ordered a pair of the UE Reference Monitors (I'm selling my RKV amp to pay for them).    25% off and free impressions (not to mention how the UERMs sounded on my Isabellina) was just too good to pass up.    And it's all CeeTee's fault!

Quote:   Frank, please continue sharing your works of art with us. They really are special and a treat to hear and see.   Besides, except for being dumped in a vat of toxic waste, radiation is the only other socially acceptable way to attain super-hero compatibilities.  And, although...

Quote: Hopefully, Frank will check in to answer your questions. One detail about Frank's amp that's not apparent from the photos -- there's a third box (a power supply behind and beneath the table).   When Frank turns on his amp the mercury vapor tubes generate a bright blue flash. ...
