Ah MS2i.. Good stuff! Let us know what you think about it.

I left my AD900 in Kuala Lumpur... Didn't you already hear them last time sum1? I brought them to the meet last year I think

Oh yeah, the K240 sextett is still up for grabs anyway! Zephyr, where do u wanna meet on Sunday? PM me or something

I don't have a K240 studio, but I've got an old Sextett which is up for sale.

I should be able to help with the setup as well. Let me know if you need a lift ZephyrSapphire. I assume you're living around UNSW area.

My my, that DA220MKII looks very tempting. It's got USB input too.. Oh my poor wallet is gonna start leaking again

Wow justin, upgrade again eh? Where are you getting your stello from? Caxton audio? I'm asking because I might want to get the DA100S.

Oh no, am I too late to express interest in this meet? =P I should be able to add an AKG sextett to that list +/- Darkvoice 336i. I'd really like to hear some USB DACs - thinking of upgrading the Musiland that I have now.

Darn, I'm missing a soldering tute as well?? Grrr... UNSW student here too, for another 3 more years at least

Some say pink noise is good for burn-in... Who knows? Anyway, I've got a few test CDs (Chesky, Sheffield Labs, Tag McLaren) that I can bring.

I'm in! No new equipment since last year though. I could probably bring my Musiland MD10 and AKG K340. The Darkvoice is a tad troublesome to move around so I guess I'll leave that at home

I upgraded to AT AD900 from SR60 last year. It should serve your needs pretty well, considering your music preferences. Bass is tight and punchy, goes lower, and overall better than SR60. You could also consider Alessandro MS2i in that price range.

Ahh looks good... I've got a few CDs played by Gidon Kremer, still looking for that piazolla tango CD Has anyone heard the Joshua Bell album though? Any ideas on contemporary works? Say jazz violin works? Keep 'em coming, guys =)

Hey guys, I've been looking around for a well-recorded/remastered album with a great (if not best) violinist... Classical (concerto/sonata/chamber) or Jazz is fine. Any recommendations? I'm also thinking of getting a few of those Joshua Bell albums (romance of the violin, gershwin fantasy...

Audio-Technica AD series (the open ones)!! Punchy bass on my AD900. You'll probably need to upgrade your music files to lossless ones though...

Looks like ATH-PRO700MS... Not sure though http://www.tag.com.au/images/stories.../124_image.jpg

I have the AD900s and sometimes run them out of my HP IPaq Rx5900. They perform pretty well without an amp, a good all-rounder headphone for different genres of music. When amped, they sound slightly better (eg. the brass in horns come out when i pass it through my tube amp), the difference is...

Oh... where did they move to? I think they do headphones, Stax and Sennheiser if I'm right, but I don't know whether they stock them. There's another one on York St CBD, Quality Hi-Fi, they stock AKG and Sennheiser but not the higher end open ones (no K701, HD650, etc). Hope that helps.
