Yeah, local indeed (Auckland). Of course you realise that it is a whole Stax system that I have (and is necessary) - DAC, Driver Unit and Headphones - so not exactly insignificant. I also need check a loose connection in right side of the phones I discovered recently that is dropping out...

Gee, I see you haven't got much in the way of a response. I guess loaning out gear seems to be a bridge too far for everyone. Maybe there is another way of auditioning gear a bit longer - maybe a longer meet? (over a couple of days or so) Though knowing how busy people seem to be these days...

Hello all,   Happy 2017.   I am contemplating selling my Final Audio Pandora Hope VI - a very unique closed headphone, check out the following links to know more:   https://www.cnet.com/news/a-high-end-headphone-from-japan-wows-the-audiophiliac/...

Hi people,   I am clearing my gear and saving some money for my next audio acquisition.   Anyone interested in purchasing my Final Audio Design Pandora Hope VI headphones for $700? - quite a unique design and I have the even more unique hexagonal fur lined box of course.   See link to...

Hello,   I am looking at culling my collection of audio gear in the coming weeks or so.   If there is anyone interested, I am looking at selling my audio gd reference 10.32 - looking at $1400 (rrp was AUD$2800 from addicted to audio). Might put on TM in a couple of weeks.   It is a large...

Username: designmind   oppo ha-2, chord mojo, fad piano forte viii, ether c ... are some items I am particularly interested in currently ...

Yeah, cant make that one - hope it goes well. Would love to try your Ether C / Chord Mojo combo another time ...

wow! - I'd be into that comparison for sure - they are both high on my list in terms of closed phones.

Agree with the sentiment. Thanks to Murray and all involved for making it such a great event.   Would have loved to have more time listening to other gear, always seemed to be drawn back to my table when I tried to escape... in the short auditions I did get sample the ZMF Blackwoods (through...

Nice that you will have a vinyl rig set up - I am afraid I need a new cart myself and funds preclude me from getting a decent cartridge in time for the meet. Will be nice to give it a listen - should I bring a record or two?   For my gear, it will be a digital-based with my meridian 508 cd...

Yeah, sorry you cant make it - do check out Stereo Exchange (627 Broadway, Soho) and their Headphone lounge too while your in NY - I intend to later in the year ...

was a pleasure to have you guys (and your gear around) for the recent mini meet (mark-g, sheepism, helmetguy) - nice precursor to the main event in Sept 5

Afraid not - I have the original Meridian Explorer, not the Explorer 2 that has come out more recently

You can add some Denon AH-D7100 Headphones and a Meridian Explorer USB Dac to the list of gear that I can bring.   Also could be looking at selling some of my stuff I don't use so much these days, which can be auditioned at the event, if anyone is interested (Denon AHD7100, Darkvoice 3322...

That's cool - I can check it out and audition at the meet...   I have a trip to the US at the end of Sept, so that may be buying some gear over there ... going to RMAF and its associated CanJam in Denver too which is rather exciting!
