I've just replaced my aging AKG K550 earpads as I had gotten advice from Mark Lawton that the angle pads would solve the bass loss, seal and fit/stability issues that I and seemingly most people have found with the otherwise quite nice AKG K550s. I've put them on.. but I'm finding that ALL the...

I could potentially be in for Nov 11. TBD

I'm very unlikely to be good exactly on the 25th of June but am usually good around then, as it is a family birthday date. But will be watching this space :)

I'm personally in favour for Oct 17.. while 's a long time away, I don't really feel a lot has happened lately either to justify a new meet right away.   That being said, I'm not going to stand in the way of anyone who wants to get together (I hope to hold a home exhibition sometime for my...

Wow! That's great. What a nice gift to the meet by @wink. I'll be keen to have a listen next time!

Sorry about that! I wasn't sure (and as is obvious, wouldn't know the difference either!). I took a guess.. leave it to me to have the wrong one. Thanks for the kind words - and even more your time, company and guidance through listening to your gear!! It was great. :)

Hi everyone! I know this is a bit late but I put together a running diary of my experiences from Can Con 6. This was my third or fourth one attending and while I don't have as much to offer as the other attendees, I know my own understanding of the hobby, the products and also the social...

I'll likely write more later, but I just wanted to say how much of an enjoyable day it was - still worth the trip down from Newy. :)   @hpz and @pkwak - you guys do a great job keeping this meet-up going every year, and I'm really grateful. Paul, you're a real hero for all the work you do and...

Feels like, as I sit here listening and comparing happily, making eye contact with the others as they do the same - that we should endeavour to set up a slack chatroom or something for these events :)

That being said, there are usually a fair few iems to try at the meet-ups as well :) I hope you do come, Shaz BTW great advice, thecrow - minidisc and wing are awesome :)

Does anyone know of and/or have any velours that would be suitable for the A900x? I would love some recommendations, chance to trial, any assistance with putting them on. I'm kinda stupid/hopeless? But if not, no big deal. :)

I personally think this is the best sort of thing to go to if you don't have anything to bring or don't want to bring anything. Don't be intimidated by it, is all I mean.    It will be a decently long day, but basically just having so much available to try and talk about and play with without...

Sounds amazing to me :)

I can bring Grado PS-500 JVC DX-700   and AKG K550 Shure SRH840 ATH-A900X Beyer DT1350   if anyone hasa  particular interest, otherwise I'll be keeping it light.   I likely will bring a laptop and an E07K.

Hi, I'll try my darndest to attend. I should be able to bring ATH-W1000z and maybe some other stuff, not sure what anyone wants to see/hear.

Update 1: A recap of just-out-of-the-box listening and a 2nd session before any prolonged burn-in.   Just tinkering around at first, without any comparison type things, I listened to some standard 70's rock that I like to try headphones with, such as Led Zeppelin's "Since I've Been Loving...

Hi again, sorry about the delay. I hope you have not been super concerned in the meantime.   The image here: http://imgur.com/7gP1e0e look almost exactly like mine, so I have good faith in what you say.. presuming that mine are correct as well. I agree that the wood coloring is much darker...

Hi, where did you get yours from? Can you give us a picture to show what you are looking at? My cups also are much darker than expected, but from what I know the source is reputable?

Hi,   I did try ordering from the 589 (EGlobalDigital) and the 599 (DWI, related to EGlobal) but they did not have stock and were unable to fulfill my order. I did get a refund and their service was good, but they weren't very quick to acknowledge or inform me of the inability.   As such, I...

Hello everyone,   I finally purchased a pair of AT woodies (these) as a potential upgrade from the ATH-A900X.   Given that I'm in Australia, costs are admittedly higher, but I must say my first instincts were:   a) Wow, this packaging and included goods are pretty crap. I mean, having had...

Great job Paul and everyone for organizing this once again. I will not be able to attend this year for a variety of reasons, but I hope it goes swimmingly and I look forward to seeing all the photos!

Well, I'm in.   Life's kicked me in the pants a bit, so I sadly don't have any new purchases. Also y'all made fun of my somehow? slow DT1350s ;)   Anyway, I'm glad I haven't missed it and I hope to be able to come, but headphone love hasn't been high on my mind, but I enjoy your company.  ...

Yay conciliatory stances!

  Unfortunate but not rude as much as unknowing of the circumstances and difficulties. Hopefully no feathers have been ruffled.

    Absolutely, and mitigating that risk (his risk, and the risk of him burning out on this) is the most important factor for sure. Cheers pkwak!
