to dampen is to wet or moisten. the correct term is to damp, which is to control or restrain.

Dan and Frank I, sorry that we'll miss you this time around. Hope to see you in the fall.

I need to thin my collection so if you're thinking of scoring something take a look at my profile and let me know what you're interested in so we can meet at the meet.

I'm planning on attending and will try to rustle up a few more old timers (ya think Mikhail might be willing to show? :imp: ). Sorry to hear that you won't be throwing any more shindigs after this, Tom, as yours are truly special, but thanks for all you've done for the community over the years!

Hopefully I can join in the festivities. I'll notify some of the old guard and see if they too can make it.

  The auction is clearly Yikes domain! 

  The more the merrier. Please bring yours too.

I'm awaiting the arrival of the Berning Micro-zotl amp to bring to the meet. if anyone ccould supply a nice front end to go along with it, it would be helpful. I'll also likely be bringing a bunch of cds for sale, and possibly headphones too. If anyone is looking for anything in particular...

I'll be attending with my old friend, MGbert, and hope to be bringing a cool amp along that folks will be interested in.

My impression is one of great disappointment that I won't be able to make it today. I think this is the first NY area meet I've missed in almost a decade. As well as enjoying the opportunity to listen to great gear, I most look forward to catching up with my Head-fi buddies. Have a great meet...

  me too...... 

happy bday Tom. i hope to join in the meet festivities.

i thought i'd signed up for this as i always have, but apparently not. anyway, count me in. look forward to seeing many friends, old and new, there.

are these the same phone in two different finishes?  how much are they?   when will they be available?

since the cost isn't an issue go for the lcd 3 as it will likely make you a happier camper. it sounds better, looks better, and feels better imo. can you get to a good meet and hear some of the more recent toys? you can get a better idea of what's out there and what tickles your fancy.  besides...

i hope to attend. thanks for organizing yet another meet, Tom!

Quote: there are threads that cover both the topics of aftermarket cabling for audezes as well as comparisons & pros & cons of lcd 2 vs 3. search and (with a little luck) ye shall find.  ;-)

i'm surprised no one has yet mentioned david mahler, especially in light of his recent massive top tier cans rankings thread. and joker with his incredible running ratings of portable cans and iems!   while my collection may not have the focus, value, or depth of some of the gear heads...

wow, i haven't checked in to this thread in quite a while. i'd love to post pix of my beautiful v3 zebra wood darths with champagne beyer leather pads but i don't seem able to get them in here :-(

you may be better off looking for a nice set of cd3000s, which could be had for roughly $500 or so. they're kind of like a set of baby r10s, with that sort of sound and feel to them, and if anything happened to them at ~8% of the cost of r10s it wouldn't be nearly such a bitter pill to swallow...

very punny, wuwhere.  what the heck are these speakers?

i've owned both, although it's been a long time since i had those ultrasones. my recollection is that of the 4 ultrasones i owned i liked them the least/disliked them the most. iirc the treble was on the annoying side. my dennon d2ks are not stock. the original owner recabled them and i do not...

Quote:   or maybe you could put them up for sale in the forum here and sell them much sooner...... that would also allow you to just focus on enjoying the show!
