I'm about 50/50 on popping in and saying hello. Prism Brewing is right down the street too    Offer still stands on bringing the Beta 22 with my HE-500 and HD650, if someone has a source they would like to hook it up to!

If there is an interest, I can drop off my Rockhopper Beta 22 (3 Channel with Sigma 22 PSU) for loan if someone wants to set up with it. I probably won't be able to attend the whole event but can drop off the "legendary" amp for all to enjoy.   Let me know, Lee!

I'm in for another year. CONUS only please.

The one thing I missed was trying your Denon's with my Beta 22 :(

Glad to hear you guys liked the Free Will beers!   I was totally blown away with everything Jason from HeadAmp brought. The speed, clarity and detail on those Stax was second to none.   The WA7 was a great sounding unit for it's small footprint. I was also really impressed with Frank's HE-6s...

Probably at the train station, a block up. I believe it is free on the weekends.

Alright, I will bring my Rockhopper Beta 22 > HiFiMAN HM-801 > HE-500s.   Simple, compact, sounds awesome!

Count me in. Not sure if I will lug the Beta 22 with or not. If there is a big desire from other people to bring it, I will.

Quote: Really? I listen to the HE-500s with the Mjolnir as my main rig and absolutely love it. What are you using for your source? 

I'll jump in. CONUS Requested.

Quote: That was one thing I noticed going from the Lyr to my M3 and now my Mjolnir. The Lyr wasn't analytical enough. Everything just felt like it had a drab feeling to it. The Lyr did sound nice with my HD650 IIRC

My Mjolnir was supposed to be delivered today, only to find out FedEx required a signature. Well, until tomorrow...

Quote: Sorry, I should of been more clear. BJC for my balanced interconnects and BTG for my headphone cables.

Quote: The guys over at Blue Jeans Cables are fantastic and BTG Audio does phenomenal work for the price.

I pulled the trigger on a Mjolnir just now. I have the great Appalachian cable from BTG Audio to go along with it, in its balanced goodness.   Will report back after some extensive listening.

Brian over at BTG Audio sent me a picture of the Appalachian cable I ordered for my HE-500. Needless to say, they look gorgeous.  

Quote: This picture looks familiar... Like I've seen this on reddit today... Hmmmm. 

Quote: I like them a lot more than my HD650s. And since Sennheiser upped the price of the HD650s back to ~$500 I don't think they are worth the price when compared to the HE-500s

What is everyone's thoughts on an M3 from YBM Audio? I am thinking of getting one made.

Quote: You can drive them off virtually anything, yes, but to really get the best out of them a nice wattage amp is desirable.

Quote: I bought mine off the B Stock from HeadRoom for $600 back around March/April. Came with everything as the retail would. I guess YMMV

A heads up, HeadRoom has a pair of the HE-500s in the B Stock for $629. They are listed as "[LIKE-NEW/ Open Box]"   http://www.headphone.com/support/b-stock-outlet.php

I have never used them unamped, actually. So I am not sure.

Quote: I use the amp (AD8620 op amp) with some Shure SE215's and I am very very happy with it. I mostly listen to metal/rock.
