Happy to see another west Michigan meet come together.  I'll have to take a pass but I'm sure everyone will have a great time!

I may be able to make this depending the date you choose.   Personally, I'm committed 8/12 -15 and probably can't make the 20th as I'll be on vacation, so the 27th works.    You won't find a date that works for everyone, especially in the summer.  Hope you hvae a good turn out!

Quote: I owned the 250 ohm and that should be fine.  If your amp is portable or not up to the task, then the 32 ohm would be better.     Many HFers like the K701/2.  I've only listened to the K701/2 at meets but I'd even take the K601 over the 701/2 version.  The K400/K500 series got...

  Quote: I have not heard the MDR-V6 and that limits my ability to offer a good suggestion.    In your price range two headphones come immediately to mind...   Beyerdynamic DT880   AKG K-501 used   The 880 is transparent and I the bass will be similar to your ER-4. ...

Too bad this will be your last review here.  Nicely done and reasonably objective.  We could use more reviews similar in depth, perception and syle like this.     I also have a permanent place for the AD2K as it does many things well and sounds "right".  I've been waffling on the Audeze...

The 2011 West Michigan Meet has come and gone.  Thank you Headroom!  The headphones, amps and dac you loaned us are truly appreciated.  The coffee cups were a hit for the drawing.  I truly appreciate your support.

The 2011 West Michigan Meet is now a memory.     Thank you Todd!  I appreciate your continued support of this event and your loan of the Apex Peak/Volcano and TTVJ Slm was awesone!  Absorbine_Sr won the Queen album you donated and I'll bet it was a long drive home (3 hours) waiting to listen...

Nothing was left in the meeting room.  

2011 West Michigan meet facility   Oops!  Simreg, I somehow managed to miss taking a picture of your gear.  I also missed the Headroom desktop amp and Micro Dac/Micro amp combo.  Also missed No9's gear.     Thanks to my employer for allowing us to use their office again this year.  Also...

Just got back home ... and I live 15 minutes from where we met.   Took a side trip to Founders Brewery with Absorbine_Sr and sent him on his way home.  Wishing him safe travels   Will post pics of the meet tomorrow.  Thanks to everyone who came.  Great seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

Quote:   Just found it so it is in the stack ready to go.   The last road condition report (3:24 a.m) from the Michigan State Police (http://www.michtip.state.mi.us/rw/home.htm) was that all major roads in Southwest Michigan are icy.  Not sure when the report will be updated again...

Just returned from moving tables around and some basic set up.   By the time the meet starts I might have my gear hooked up.   Digger945, I have extra RCA cords.  We're scheduled from 1:00pm to 5:00pm, so plenty of time to participate nullstring.     A large box from Headroom arrived just...

That's too bad Brian.  I was hoping to finally meet you, but I had to pass on the Ann Arbor meet.  Maybe next time.   I'm still fighting a cold and it is affecting my hearing.  But I will definitely say that the Apex Peak is worth some of your time on Saturday.  It truly excels at vocals and...

Been sick with a bad cold, but I finally opened the crate.  Wow!  Todd is loaning us an Apex Peak head amp with volcano power supply. He also sent along a TTVJ Portable Slim amp.  Can't wait to try both of these out. He managed to find room for an album for our drawing.  Sweet!   Headroom...

I don't really track the attendance, but the first year we had quite a few people that didn't show because of the weather.  This year looks like a good turn out.   I talked to the owner of the Corner Record Store in Grandville, who is also supplying a couple of gift certificates for our...

Wualta, we may be the only two attending who actually know who Captain Kangaroo and the Treasure House is.   Digger945, looking forward to meeting you.    The crate from Todd arrived yesterday.  You really do need a key to open it.  I won't be able to get in it until tomorrow, but I'm...

Received a key in the mail today from Todd the Vinyl Junkie.  I wonder what that will open 

I consider Head-Direct to be one of the good guys in our hobby.  My deals have all been straight forward without a hiccup.   We need to remember these are small operations where the parties wear many different hats throughout the day...sales, shipping, packaging, clerical, management...

Thanks Todd!  If you're able to bring something it's appreciated.   Artcefalcor, I'll be in touch with Steve.  He has already contributed to the raffle and has an invitation to come.  I hope he'll attend but our niche in audio is not really his area of interest.     Thanks jvigato...

Welcome simreg!  Great opportunity to meet some of the locals and try new gear 

Gear list updated.   Headroom has confirmed they will be sending gear (to be determined).   Todd the Vinyl Junkie confirmed that he will be sending some tube goodness and is contributing to our give-a-way drawing.   As I receive gear or as others update whether they're attending I'll...

That's great news.  I'll see you at the meet and hoping Steve shows with some vintage 2-channel gear    If you have gear that you'll be bringing be sure to let us know.  You might want to edit your post to remove the real names.
