I received my new Vali today and from the minute I plugged my headphones the ringing was very loud from the left channel without even wearing them. I left the HPs plugged in for a few minutes without music playing and eventually the ringing diminished but it was still barely audible so I thought...

Awesome, I'm looking forward to this meet. I've always wanted a great home HP set up but never had the opportunity to listen to such variety. I ran across this forum while reading reviews, boy am I glad I did, I can't wait!!! Thanks guys!!!

That sounds great, I'll register. I just happened to order a pair of ESW9 and a Fiio e12 for my iPod Classic, my buddy has this set up and after listening I was impressed by the sound quality, should I bring this gear? How exactly does it work, do I set up at a table, do I carry my stuff around...

Hi,   I would love to attend this meet however, I'm new to this forum and I don't own any Audiophile HPs as I'm in the market for a pair, can I still attend if I don't have any gear yet? This is a great opportunity for me to test quality gear first hand.   Thanks!

That's it, thank you DG2assassin!!!

Where did you order the HM5 pads from, I can't seem to find them.
