    2011 Meet in the Netherlands: March 27th, Soest!

    Hi guys and gals,   I was the one with the Zana Deux (did not buy from Sergei (Blackmore) though, he had his own Zana Deux). Unfortunately, I've sold my Head-Fi gear some time back (even my beloved K1000)... I didn't have time for it anymore since the birth of my little daughter. I listen to...

    Dutch Mini-meet (November 8th) - impressions

    Hi there... Sergei has pointed me towards this tread (thanks for that). I might be able to join. Not sure yet, though. (Sergei, if I'll be able to make it, I'll be driving. So you can tag along.) What I will bring when I come: MacBook Pro with Pico DAC (much easier than my Rega Jupiter or...

    European meetup - post your ideas here

    I'm happy to help out, but I'm quite busy and I don't know Amsterdam too well. The only place I've been for conferences is the Sheraton at Schiphol Airport. It's a great place (convenient, nice rooms, good service, etc, etc) but I find it quite expensive. Prices start at €62,50 per person for 8...

    Netherlands Pre-Party Meet 18-01-09

    And once more: Thanks Rik!! Nice speakers you've got in your rooms now, I understand you don't need any headphones... I basically came to listen to the Ed9. I found them quite comfortable. Tried them out of a Duet, no dedicated amp. I personally didn't bring a source or an amp, but it worked...

    Netherlands meet; NEW INFO! Jan 18th.

    I just (when packing) realized it has no use to bring the Njoe Tjoeb if I don't have an amp. So that'll stay at home. I'll just bring the headphones for you guys to play with (no source, no amp). Will be there around 1pm - 2pm, I think. Might be earlier, depending on whether I want to risk...

    Done. I'll bring the HD650 with Equinox as well. Can also bring the HD25, as that one uses the Silver Dragon cable. RS-1... I miss that one...

    Netherlands meet; NEW INFO! Jan 18th.

    I'll be there! I can bring my NjoeTjoeb Reference and Macbook Pro, but it's kind of useless as I don't have an amp. So the only thing worth bringing is the MS-Pro (HD650 with Equinox will stay home as there is already a HD650 there, same for HD25). So... My only contribution will be my...

    Netherlands meet; NEW INFO! Jan 18th.

    People, the Zana is in a box towards Craig, I'm afraid... Bad resistor in the 6SL7 circuity. Extremely sorry about that. The Zana will NOT, I repeat, NOT be present at the meet. I hope she'll make it to Hans' meet. I miss her already... So, I'm pretty much ampless... I've got a MS-Pro is...

    Netherlands meet; NEW INFO! Jan 18th.

    There is one little bad news, though... Using the MS-Pro, I noticed some static on the left channel using the Zana Deux. I'm emailing back and forth with Craig now about this issue. There is a chance I'll have to send it back for a check-up (it's going to cost me big time!), but I won't send it...

    Netherlands meet; NEW INFO! Jan 18th.

    I think I'll be able to make it as well... Would've loved to hear the infamous Pico though, I almost ordered one for my Macbook Pro as well... Maybe I should skip this one and join Hans' party! Anyways, I'll probably bring my NjoeTjoeb Reference with the Zana Deux, HD650 + Equinox and the...

    Netherlands Pre-Party 2009 Dates

    I'll try to make it, no matter which day you guys (and girls) will choose. However, I can't promise anything. I just heard I'll be getting the keys to my new appartment on the 15th of December, so I'll also be busy with that. Anyways, you guys choose and I'll see whether I can make it. PS...

    While we are waiting for our Zana Deux'es... Who's in on this run?

    I received this in my inbox yesterday: ' Your ZD will ship Thursday, or Friday 7/30 7/31. 230V 50Hz power supply. Do wish to get the dress kit, or tubes?' Great news, no?! I'm excited... This dress kit, is it the new faceplate? I haven't decided yet (don't even know how much it costs)...

    Good to go? But still it's going to take another month? What is the problem actually? Last time it was the metal housing?

    While we are waiting for our Zana Deux'es... Who's in on this run?

    End of WHAT?! Dammit... I've paid somewhere end Feb, the expected delivery was end of April back then. It's been delayed till end of May last time I've checked, but now it's end of June?! I saw a nice electrostats amp a couple of weeks ago on the FS forum. I didn't want to buy it as I wanted...

    While we are waiting for our Zana Deux'es... Who's in on this run?

    I'm also on this run for the ZD. The waiting is killing me!! Planning on using it with the HP-2 and HD650/Equinox. I saw a FirstWatt for sale now in the FS forum... Thinking of buying it. I've heard that the ZD + F1 + K1000 = a bit closer to Heaven. Temptations, temptations, temptations...

    Grado HP-2 more Sennheiser-like than Grado-like?

    Hi, peepz! I've just received my Joseph Grado HP-2 with JGSUWBR cable today! Happy as a little kid with a new toy! Sadly, I don't have any headphone amp for the time being. Waiting for the Zana Deux for a while now. Also, my Opera has been sent to dr Meier for repairs... First...
