For the last few years, Montreal Head-Fiers have had a meet at the Salon Son et Image in late March at the Place Bonaventure. In fact, I just got an E-mail from the show, informing me that the show is coming up!   Papomaster has been organising the meet and display, though after the last...

I'll be there, but I won't be able to stay for as long each day as I have in the past, due to performances on those three days. I will probably leave my stuff, though, and ask that it isn't taken, if this isn't too much to request.   The gear I'll bring:   AKG K701 Buffalo II DAC...

Quote: Zut! Presque tout mes filmes sont sur mon ordinateur.   Je vais amener mon Seigneur des Anneaux complet (les éditions prolongées (ça ce dit?), donc vous n'avez pas besoin d'apporter les votre, au moins que vous voulez), Once et peut être quelque filmes de Kurosawa. Si je trouve...

Quote:   Pour moi, si quelque chose est apporté, je vais l'écouter. J'aime bien essayer des différents setups.

Vive le DAC!   Après des heures d'ineptitude, j'ai activé un bouton.   Du son glorieux!

Du courage ! Néanmoins, j'espère avoir mon DAC dans une condition écoutable pour le meet. Si non, je serai très déçu.   Le beta22 ne sera pas dans un bon état. Qui ne me plaît pas. Pas grand chose que je peux faire juste maintentant : j'ai besoin de travaille.      Quote:

Though that which is made can be classified under the other topics (DIY amps are, after all, amps), having a DIY section would simplify searching and consolidate information, some thing which this site needs: there is SO much brilliant knowledge that is floating about Head-fi.org, but is often...

The Buffalo II DAC came and I soldered it. But there are four important resistors missing. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! I told this to TPA and Brian has sent them --- but will they get here in time? If not, they'll arrive just a few days late.   Pray to the postal gods! Pour libations of...

When the first person arrives, I shall be there. Unless I'm late. Which I won't be of course, seeing as "a wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins, nor is he early: he arrives precisely when he means to!"

I'll attend on the fourteenth of August, which seems to be the agreed-upon date.   The Buffalo is being shipped as I type this, so it should be ready for the meet.   As to location, I'm still happy to have it at my flat, which is fairly downtown (Dr. Penfield). As there was mention of...

I'd go for the fifteenth.

JUNE - 19 20 Not the 20th. - 26 27 Probably not. JULY - 3 4 Available. - 10 11 Available. - 17 18 Available. - 24 25 Available. - 31 Available. August - 1 Available. - 7 8 Available. - 14 15 Available. - 21 22 Available. - 28 29 Available.  ...

I wish the twisted pear guys would hurry up and send me my Buffalo! It would be a shame to have a meet and not be able to listen and compare with other sources and DACs.   No matter, this is turning in to a good sized meet: sounds great!

Speaking of speakers, I have been looking in to potentially making a pair, that I might use them for when headphone listening is not appropriate. My searches lead me to Troels Gravesen's DTQWT, http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/JA8008_DTQWT.htm , perhaps mated to the beta24 power-amp, with a balanced...

Yes! I just bought a Buffalo DAC!   I can hardly wait for it to arrive.

Yes, I heard the clicking as well. I could live with it, as I thought the amp was great. MUST compare it to my beta22 when I fix it.   In the meanwhile, I received yester-day the IVY-III, which is Twisted Pear Audio's current to voltage and balanced to unbalanced converter: I will...

What are your favourite headphones? I've spent the most time with the AKG K701, and I really like them. However, I strongly suspect that I prefer the Sennheiser HD800. What are your favourite types of headphone; in-ear, on-ear,circumaural or supra-aural? Circumaural, but merely for...

I never did give my impressions from the show, did I.? Here follow, then, my impressions. There were friendly people (even the pompously righteous missionary), and excellent set-ups. I thought this last year and I thought it again: the AD2000 are really nice headphones. Though rather...

I've had these... a while now and I STILL haven't marked my serial number! On the left 14711. I'm the second owner: I bought them from ph0rk.

You are quite welcome to bring your headphones and try them at different set-ups.

My lappy is more than happy to play a film, if you so desire.

Beta22 death match? I want a nice fair fight! Any way, we'll have enough stuff that the two amps won't be too badly missed: I greatly look forward to the week-end!

Bad news on the Beta22 front: I've run out of money. The sigma22 is fine, though fat lot of use that is. However, I could easily finish the case for Thursday as I already have all of the parts and merely need to assemble it. So I have a case and LeMat has an amp. If you'd be interested, I'd...
