Ottawa Regional meet - September 2015 - respond here
I had a great time. Thanks again to Mark for setting it up and pulling me back into the fold again. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures as well. That's what next time is for I guess. As of right now I don't see May being a problem to show up for another go. I'll be sure to bring a...- mwallace573

I'll also be bringing a pair of the Mies E200, a Fubar mk2 DAC, and an old PPA amp that I may be looking into upgrading this Christmas along with my PC as a source. I could also bring a old Sony 5 CD player I have lying around if we need more sources. Assuming we have anyone bringing CDs of...- mwallace573

Ottawa Regional meet - September 2015 - respond here
Hello all. Time for me to come out of my annual head-fi hibernation. Thanks to Mark for letting me know this is going down. I'm down for the Community Center you guys have been talking about. A bit of a hike for me but not too crazy. I don't have anything too exciting to bring. Mainly a...- mwallace573

Well, we all got home last night finally. She was pretty good up till we tried putting her to bed, then things went pretty much as expected. Still managed to get some sleep though. When she finally crashed, it was for a few good hours. Still, it's like everybody has told me. There's nothing...- mwallace573

Thanks guys. Her name is Madison. I'm on another short break from the hospital. She had a good case of Jaundice, and has been under a low intensity UV lamp for the last 36 hours or so. Not the most fun way to kick things off, but hey, what can you do? She has been remarkably quite...- mwallace573

Yeah, customs can be quite a pain. I paid $50 to border control to get my HD650s across. Still ended up paying less than what they're going for on Amazon.ca, but not as great of a deal as I was hoping for. In other news, I had a new, 8lb 14oz arrival last night. I am freaking exhausted. ...- mwallace573

The girl is making us wait a little longer it seems. Don't worry, I'll send you a message when we the eagle has landed. As for a mini meet, I'm down though my availability is questionable. If I'm not at work I need to stay close to the missus for when the time comes. Hey mark, didn't you say you...- mwallace573

I don't get what's going on with them. Maybe they're outsourcing the assembly now or something. I'd almost bypass the store and send their head honcho an email. As for the Alessandro, check your PMs.- mwallace573

No, no baby yet. We are all getting very impatient for her arrival.- mwallace573

I love how it comes with a free HD650. You know, the headphone I just bought. Still, for a grand after discount, it must be a pretty serious DAP. Too rich for my blood though. Also, is anybody here interested in getting an Alessandro MS2? Mine will be hitting the market shortly and I'd...- mwallace573

Jeez. I guess I got lucky with my pair. Mine have been through a full wash/dry cycle and outside of some damage on the wire insulation they're no worse for wear. Maybe they're really slacking on the QC right now or something. I'll have to bear that in mind when recommending them in the...- mwallace573

I'm actually on the west end of town now. I have a thing I have to take my wife to closer to your side of town tomorrow around 11:30 at the General Campus Hospital. Any chance of meeting up around then in that general area? It wouldn't be for long, but long enough to figure out if the buzzing...- mwallace573

I'll let you know if I'm selling or not. I'd give you guys a better deal than I would of the F/S forum if I do. As for meeting up, my days off are Thursday and Sunday. What area are you in? Maybe we can make something happen. Keep in mind I've never amped my e200 though, so I can't...- mwallace573

Glad to see you like them. I was a little surprised to see that not a single other person on this forum has posted anything about these little gems. Made me a little nervous about recommending them actually. Maybe they're hearing something that I'm not or something. But yeah, at $100 I...- mwallace573

I still love the e200, and think they're the best $100 IEMs I've ever heard. As far as my sound tastes go anyways. I also really, really liked the triple-fi, so YMMV. It's free to give them a shot though. Just try to bring some decent tips with us. I found the stock tips kinda lacking.- mwallace573
