Haven't read the thread and it's not a phone so please remove if too far off topic - but it's Android and it's portable and IIRC I got to this thread via a link to a comment about another Android tablet, so it might be useful to someone.   I had a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 which had issues...

  Quote: I repeated my earlier offer to Paul to throw in a few more bucks in case there was a shortfall, but he wouldn't hear of it.  I can still send him a few bucks if he's short - I can help out in that way, but can't spend time helping organise/run things.  

Thanks to Paul for a *buttload* of organisational work, to Paul's volunteers who helped a lot, to those who took photographs, to the vendors for bringing a great selection of interesting gear and to every participant who brought even more interesting gear!  I particularly enjoyed spending some...

Quote: Yep, I already offered to pay a bit more, so if we're still short nearer the day let me know.  

Quote: I'd quite like to try the DACmini if you have room.  

Quote: One more thing you'll need to consider - you're going to need to make sure you keep the photo ID details *secure* until destroyed, because they're a desirable target for identity thieves.  

Definitely record the photo IDs - this is getting significantly bigger than what's gone before in Australia, and there are non-members coming.  Keep copies for a week or two after the meet and then destroy them if no-one who brought gear has any issues.   I'm happy to chip in an extra $20 if...

Quote: That alone is usually enough to keep you fully occupied - and then some.  I had several months towards the end where all I did apart from occasional grocery trips was sleep, eat, write, repeat...  

Quote: Maybe.   I have MD5000s and LCD-2s and play test tracks that start off at 10Hz and go up in 1Hz increments.  I can hear(?) something going on at 12-13Hz with MD5000s, and at 15-16Hz with LCD-2s.   I can't promise the test tracks don't have distortion which means harmonics...

I'm certainly interested - thanks for the ... er, heads-up, pkwak.  Have to check on the dates with the keeper of the social calendar though.   I'd really like to try the LCD-2s with an amp with more grunt (and I've been thinking of ordering a DacMini...), and T1s, and HD800s...  ...

    Quote:     We'll see!  So far my preference isn't showing any signs of change.  I switch back and forth between EQ on and off, and generally feel something is missing without it.

Quote: Poang is decent enough, but be aware that if you're tall in the back it might not give you head support.  I'm 6'2" and IIRC my leg inseam is about 30", and Poang is probably 2-3" too short.  I really need to find a chair that's good for headphones and also for watching TV.

Quote: I have totally the opposite experience.  If there's no music playing I can hear everything with the LCD-2s on, almost as if I didn't have them on.  In contrast, my MD5000s definitely isolate and muffle.   And speaking of the latter which have been my main cans for a couple of...

Quote: I came across that on the radio one night and found it almost hypnotic...and then when Tom Waits' vocals came in it sent shivers up my spine...  

FWIW I sent a query to Audeze last night about the current waiting time and they responded overnight with a link to the order page, so it looks like they've caught up and eliminated their waiting list.
