I sent you a PM and posted earlier in this thread - just want to make sure it's cool if I bring my gear! Thanks for hosting, looking forward to the event.

This sounds awesome. Would love to stop by and share gear with you folks. Assuming there is sufficient table space, I can bring: Theta Basic IIIa Zana Deux Super HD650 modded HE-500 modded Stax SRA-3S Stax Lambda Normal Bias

Thanks! Bought new from EC. Put in the order / first payment back in October, so there was a bit of a wait. But early impressions indicate the wait was not in vain - really brings my HD650s and 580s to life!

My ZDS has come in, looking forward to hearing the Atticus and Eikon on it!

                                       

I have a paduak Atticus, cherry Eikon, and Eddie Current ZDS arriving in the next couple months hopefully. I had originally ordered ZDS for use with HD650/580, but I have a feeling it will also do well with the ZMFs, since they are 300 ohm as well. Fun times ahead!

Definitely interested! If we get one together I will for sure be there if I can.

i'm actually going up with and meeting some acquaintances up in Chicago afterwards, i appreciate the suggestion though!

Hey guys!  Due to some changes to my previous plans, I will be coming up to Chicago this weekend to hang out with you guys!  I take it this isn't too late for me to register?   Question - is there plenty of table space available still or not?  I think most of my gear is already going to be...

I would definitely go so long as it doesn't fall on the one or two weekends I have blacked out.  @Theogenes anything in the works?

Hopefully a headphone of this caliber won't decrease in value by 75% within 6 years.  That would be a much higher rate of depreciation than we typically see in the headphone market.

Hopefully 6 years from now, people will look at the ETHER FLOW more favorably than we currently look at a 2010 MacBook.

    Apple still sells the 2012 MacBook Pro.  They reduced the price as well, all the way down to ~$1299 for a 13" laptop with a 5400-rpm disk drive and a dual-core CPU.

    planned ob·so·les·cence ˌpland ˌäbsəˈlesəns/ noun   a policy of producing consumer goods that rapidly become obsolete and so require replacing, achieved by frequent changes in design, termination of the supply of spare parts, and the use of nondurable materials.

  So following that logic, would you say that headphone quality increases at a linear rate, like electronic components?  Do they follow a similar trend to CPU's?  If we refer to the below chart, and replace the Y-axis with "Headphone Sound Quality" and the CPU names with headphone names, would...
