Just got my pair today!         So far really liking them! They're my first CIEMs so it's going to take a bit to get really used to shoving something so far into my ear. Isolation is incredible, better than some earplugs I've used. I've only listened for a bit but so far I agree with...

I had a great time! My favorite was also the HD800s through the Violectric V281, absolutely blew me away! Also really liked the modded pair of HE-6s since they're so different from my HD800s. Seeing how different headphones measured was also really interesting! 

I know this is a bit off the topic of headphones but one of my buddies I know from the mechanical keyboard community is most likely going to be coming so I'm going to bring my keyboard collection for him to try out. I'm not sure if any of you have any interest in mechanical keyboards but you're...

Judging by what people are saying they're bringing there is going to be some amazing stuff. Also, as always big props for Garage1217's generosity with providing such a great raffle prize and bring so much gear for everyone to audition. Getting super pumped!

I don't have one but I believe balderon or funch do!

I'm going to be bringing both of my setups: Modi 2 Uber->Bottlehead Crack w/ Speedball->HD800   FiiO E10->K550 w/ Alpha Pads   I'll also have a few different tubes for the Crack to try a bit of rolling if you guys want.   Also might be able to borrow my old HD650s I sold to my neighbor...

I'm definitely in! It would be helpful if it could be before August 20th since that's when my classes start again. Looking forward to it!

Oh, crap! I haven't been on headfi in a while and just now found out this is going down! Any room for a late admission? I'll see if I can swap shifts with one of my co-workers to see if I can make it. If I'm able to I could my HD650s with the Bottlehead Crack + Speedball and Modi 2U along with...

That would be awesome

I've found that the bass does sound slightly more punchy out of my FiiO E10 than my phone. The biggest improvement in the bass for me came from changing to the Alpha Pads thanks to their improved seal.

That was me!    The albums I played:  -Amber Rubarth: Sessions from the 17th Ward  (I was playing the track Strive) -Ottmar Liebert: Up Close   (I was playing the track Cocteau) -Yosi Horikawa: Wandering  (I was playing the track Bubbles)   All of the tracks in these albums are fantastic...

Hmm, the WiFi was nice to have, especially for stuff like Spotify.

You sure those monoblocks will have enough juice?  Haha

I'm good with whatever venue works for everyone. Also any weekend should be fine for me. Can't wait! 

Everything is packed up and ready to roll! See you all there!

Yeah, speakers are another rabbit hole to explore. My wallet is trembling in fear at the thought! Those O/96s were absolutely beautiful. I bet they sound as good as they look as well! Hearing the 802s was my first time hearing any high-end speaker system so I don't have anything to compare it...

Like Destroysall said, AZ Hi-Fi has the whole line so you could give the XCs a go there. I went a week or so ago and tried out the LCD 2s and Xs. I could only use my phone though since they didn't have an amp setup (they said to call ahead and they'd get one ready for you). They were really nice...

Sounds tasty! I'm having a pretty bad week so far and the meet is what's keeping my spirits up right now. Super excited!

I have a couple of old outdoor extension cables. They're pretty long but sorta sketchy. I guess I could just throw them in my truck and we can use them if we have to.   So pumped! 

Aw man, the thought of all of this audio equipment is getting me really excited!!

:O

Well, you're going to the AZ meet right? You'll be able hear it there!   As far as the case goes it's just Minwax espresso stain and a couple of coats of satin Minwax polyurethane.

I'm only 18 and I've been able to put together a fairly decent setup. You just gotta get a job! 

It is indeed my Model M SSK! The Crack+Speedball is great. Lots of tubey goodness!
