Better late than never! Again, I'd like to thank everyone for a great day. I wrote most of these notes on Saturday night, things may seem a little out of order etc but I was just writing as I was thinking... I was really keen to listen to some Grados as I'd read so much about them - all...

Thanks to all for the great day, especially Shaun and PedalHead. I'd like the thank those that made the longer journeys too - some travelled serious miles just to share thier gear with others, it's appretiated. Before Saturday I hadn't really heard any higher end gear other than what I...

Sounds like a good idea Sceptre.

How many CD's are people taking along? I don't know whether to bring my favourite 5 or bring as many as I can so people can listen to whatever they fancy (as this hobby is all about music after all)

I've made a simple sheet for the stand. If anyone wants me to do one for them, PM me and I'll sort you out.

Thanks for posting the guide, even though most of it is common sense it should help things run smoother. I'd like one of those stands please.

I've had my MiniMAX for about two weeks now, Soloz2 did a fantastic job of building it for me, I promised that I'd post a pic It really does sound sublime with my HD600 and I couldn't be happier

I got my MiniMax yesterday I won't be bringing a DAC, I don't have the money to buy one anytime soon

I'm excited My Minimax should be here any day now, it's just been released from customs. I'll most likely be bringing a Yahama CDP with me aswell just so that I have a source for people to use with my amp, I guess having more amps than sources will cause queues :P

I'm very intested in this, I've only just recently got into the higher end of headphones. I'm local so I won't need a room at the hotel. I can bring my HD600 w/ Oehlbach cable and my Millet Hybrid MiniMax (boutique), it's possible that I'll have a DacMagic by then so I'll bring that along...

As said above, you need a 3.5mm to RCA adapter. I used one with my X-Fi Music -> Beresford with a Coax cable.
