I would recommend yaluen to any future buyer. They were always prompt and polite during our conversations and shipped out my purchase securely. I got my headphones in just days and in as-described condition. Overall, this was a very enjoyable experience!

So you've heard both then and can say the Woo compares?

Minor update, KGSSHV won't be in attendance. I'm having some internal and external issues with getting it done on time.

Well that's thing, it's NOT done. But it should be. I'm really just waiting on my panels from FPE. Balanced inputs and pro (580V) output only.

I should be bringing my Twister Pear Opus and my KGSSHV

Quote:   A good idea but just remember that the organizer does have a job and a family to care about. Having been on the organizing side, I can tell you this is no trivial task.

90% sure I'll be there with whatever gear I can fit in my car. It's now the goal to get my KGSSHV done before then.

Let me contribute my 2 cents as being an organizer for the past two Boston meets.   1. Someone needs to step up an actually book a conference room, otherwise this meet will never happen. Don't ask if a date is good, set the date and post to see who will show up. Unfortunately this cannot be...

Sorry, I didn't take any pictures...   Big thanks to everyone who came and a HUGE thanks to everyone who donated to cover the room cost. Thanks to one head-fier (wishes to remain anonymous) I am actually now squared away with the cost of the room.   Not that I regret paying for the room...

Quote: ~3 miles and yes, very yes  

I can bring my RJM VSPS pre which I was pondering bringing anyways. There's a slight hum in my system but I'm pretty sure it's from my table.   I'd like to say that if anybody has a power regulator, you might want to bring it. I will have mine. Last year, all the gear pulled the room down to...

Less than a month 'til. Who's excited?   This guy

Still regretting not going to dinner last time. Definitely down this year.   And pbandstephanwich, my exstata is also in a Nabu box and I can guarantee it is just as cosmetically challenged. I would like to hear the Magnums but the final decision is entirely your choice.

Ah yes of course, the gear list   So far I should have: Twisted Pear Opus DAC (provided I can finish the enclosure) SS exstata AMB M3 Stax Lambda Nova Classic JVC RX-700 Grado SR-80

A room has been found and booked.   All details moved to a new thread for organization: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/548464/boston-massachusetts-area-meet-may-28th

Room is booked, date is set: We are in the Hilton in Dedham, MA: 25 Allied Drive Dedham, MA 02026 The hotel is right off of exit 14 on I-95. It is also very near the Dedham stop on the Franklin Commuter Rail Line. There is free parking available. We are in the New England Room from...

If people are still interested, I was looking at May 28th for a meet. Same details as I proposed earlier.

Sorry folks but I just don't think this is gonna happen.   Just about every place I've called either doesn't have the room or is fully booked that weekend. I was going to keep trying until the last second but that wouldn't give time for people to prepare.   If anyone wants to reschedule...

Just wanted to keep everyone in the loop. I'm currently involved in a game of phone tag with the hotel and the weather isn't making it any easier. So no news is good news in this case...

I'm gonna go ahead with the March 5th date. I'll call the hotel on Monday and start a new thread with all the info when I get everything booked.

That was a Blue Hawaii built by n_maher. You'll have to ask him for more details.

Bring gear, bring music, or just bring yourself. It's all good. I for one will be bringing my own gear.   This post is always a good read before a meet: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/39230/meeting-suggestions#post_2763939

Glad everyone liked it.   My ideal dates would be March 5th or 12th which are during my school break. Any sooner than that and I might not be free.

Color me interested.   Last year I chose a hotel in Dedham to be a good spot because it's relatively easy to get to.

The ground is typically connected to the main housing of the plug. In this case, you'd want to solder the ground to the metal base next to the other solder lugs. Best way to confirm this is to get a DMM and do a continuity check which will also determine which lug goes to which channel.
