I had a listen to this at the Sydney HiFi show thanks to Addicted to Audio. Good sounding amp (was using external DAC) but had a severe channel imbalance at lowish listening levels. I had to have it louder than I would usually because the room wasn't quiet but it was still noticeable. Hopefully...

PM me an offer, I have a set

Sorry gents, but I have to pull out. I will be away that weekend, plans changed as always and I miss another.. damn

mrAdrian - I go to UNSW and missed the previous meet, I could possibly bring in the DT880's one day if your keen for a listen, PM me if your keen.   svyr - I would like to see Jaben get onboard - it was good seeing their range at the last meet I went to.

Count me in, I missed last years Sydney meet but ended up at one down in Melbourne.   I live in the east and would be driving. I would bring the following;   Meier Audio StageDAC Meier Audio Concerto AKG k701 DT880 600Ohm   I could plug in another amp in at the same time with...

Yep that sounds good, I only mentioned ASB since last time I was in there (a while ago) it was relatively quiet and comfortable compared to other buildings I have been. I have never ventured into Wallace Wurth. I am away for most of December but may be able to sneak a weekend back to Sydney in...

Yep, sounds good, ASB could be good for that, where were you thinking? I spend my time in mech eng and the rooms there would be terrible.   Guy

Quite an old thread but hopefully this has sparked some interest in a Sydney meet, I would like to come along if there is one.   Guy

Saw a girl wearing a pair of Grado SR-60s when walking to uni the other day, its a bit odd since I have never seen Grados in public before and never seen a girl with anything other thank iBuds of Beats

Quote:   I thought they were pretty good, definitely sparked an interest with them, it would be good to do a bit of a price range comparison with a couple of different phones, I did need a bit more time with them though - as with all the headphones I tried on the day. Hopefully they...

Justie,  What was the name of the headphones I tried of yours, not the LCD2 or sennheiser?   Cheers, Guy

Great meet - but the two and a half hours I stayed was no where near enough. Highlights of the day was hearing all new headphones, it was my first meet. Tried a fair bit of the Audio Technicas range (thanks Audio Addiction) - W1000X wins, sorry Cornelius but the W5000 just didn't do it for me...

Justie, Can't pm you at the moment using tapatalk and don't know how it works. Can pick you up in the morning. I will pm you later on tonight Guy

Quote: The Bitfrost has on option for USB and MacBook pros have an optical out if necessary.   Guy  

The HD650 does have a bit of a lack of treble and thats just the phone - I wouldn't worry that there is a small gap in the frequency response. Remember that headphones are designed to listen to music.   Guy

Quote: Thats great advice here - don't overlook it. There is no point spending a heap of money just because it going to sound better, the laws of diminishing returns kick in pretty quickly with headphones. Your purchase of the cx-300 buds is a good start - your heading in the right...

Oh and you know your an audiophile when you spend Saturday night cataloguing your CD and Vinyl collection instead of partying then on Sunday you go through your digital collection to make sure all the metadata is correct!

Quote: Hahaha I noticed that one as well! He definitely didn't dress like he was unemployed   Guy    

Yep, by chance I will be in Melbourne that weekend so it works out well   Quote:  

I hope I don't get flamed for this but... In all seriousness, does anyone have some Beats or Skullcandy Aviators that they can bring along? Or maybe borrow from a mate? I have never heard them but really want to know what all the fuss is about.   Cheers Guy

Regarding carpooling - I will be driving from Carlton in the morning. I can offer a lift to the event but unfortunately I will be leaving early so that could be an issue.

I'm currently in the process of making a playlist with a heap of tracks which highlight the good/bad parts of my rig(s) and I have never been to an audio meet before, so I was wondering what the deal is with music? Obviously my own setup will have my music on it (laptop) but should I bring a...

6, I know I have a big head though

Confirmed! Can't wait. its a pretty impressive list of gear that will be there

I was lurking here well before you joined up... I didn't even realise there were headphone meets in Australia.. My gear seemed to suddenly multiply once I bought my first par of decent headphones, but I think nearly everyone on here knows that story.   DT990 is my favourite headphone all...
