Somehow or other I've completely skipped over JVC anything.  I know zip about their cans

How would you like the donations to defray costs, paypal or bring cash to the event?

Quote: That which doesn't kill us makes us stronger.  Or so I've heard; yours is probably the more sound way to go about it.  I considered that route, but couldn't quite hack it.  Thankfully everything so far has been good.  I just got a pair of AD700s from amazon, they are excellent. ...

Does anyone know of a place in Raleigh-area like bananaheadlin mentioned is in Winston?

I'm trying to purchase a few entry-level dacs and/or amps.  Whichever ones I like I'm going to keep, then sell the rest.  Would anyone be interested in those being brought to the meet before I do sell them?  I think, like me, there are a few new to the hobby that will be coming and might be...

Quote: Fantastic, I'd appreciate that :)     Quote: Sounds good to me ;-)

I looking over the list of equipment people are bringing and iI see several Grados. If it isn't too rude to ask, does anyone have a pair of 80s or 125s they could bring? I've been wanting to hear what they sound like.

Quote: I'm in the Raleigh area, and being generous I think I've been to Winston once before.  If I remember correctly we sat in a car at Hanes mall for about 10-15 minutes...reason not remembered at this point.  What this means is, sadly, I know nothing out that way really.  The Radio...

I look forward to you explaining this at the meet. What I saw was "theta iota epsilon epsilon lambda omega"

I prefer a Saturday, so either the 20th the 27th get my vote.

so long as I know a couple weeks in advance, I don't have a preference on which day it is.  If more people can make a new date, go for it.

Quote:   $10 is fine with me; I'd also be willing to go in on some pizza (mind the equipment! :-P)   What am I listening to right now.... A lot of electronic stuff that I've been getting off of Bandcamp.  Arts the Beatdoctor is the latest, and I'm really loving this album.  for...

yeah, I am going to try that out until the sound card arrives, and then I will plug in to that.

I have a dgx coming from amazon, we'll see if that helps. I am using the front headphone port for ease of use, but that's going to change from now on. I'll look to see what is or isn't muted and mute everything unnecessary. I do hope to upgrade to an external dac, but that may have to wait a few...

quid, is your name a reference to Dune?

Yeah I found the website.  Very nice, both what he has to offer as well as the website.  it's well laid out, takes you where you expect it will.  I was hoping there was a readily accessible storefront; if there was I would have gone tomorrow to check it out.   Looks like visits are by...

Dash it all, now I hear the little pops and whirs my computer makes when using the headphone out.  My wallet is starting to cry, on the inside.

Moon audio eh? I am not familiar with that one, I'll have to check that out.

I like the idea of the Hampton personally; I don't mind the other places but this has more of the feel I was thinking about. I'm also good with $20

I don't know if it would be helpful, but I have a little laptop I can bring along.  Dual boots Win7 and Arch linux.  It's not super fast, but we're not going to run Crysis on it :)   I don't have any kind of external DAC/AMP for it, so there's that caveat.  If interested I'd be glad to load...

I didn't mean to imply that Tzadik was a one-genre pony, sorry about that.   I remember some of those names coming up, I was clicking on a lot of things though so I don't really have the music pinned to the artist name yet.  I tried a few of the klezmer cds; it seems like a style of music I...
