With all the wild fires this year in Oregon, I am thinking of trying to raise some funds for one of the areas. My question is what would be the best way to raise funds if I donated my Head-Fi headphone collection? I have still new in the box HF-1; HF-2 (with F1 typo) and HF-3. I know I could...

I just wanted to get this thread started with a thank-you to JDS Labs for hosting this meet. While it was the 5th overall it was my 2nd. A lot of tables and space for everyone and they set up a public WiFi so everyone could stream Tidal to their hearts desire. Also I wanted to thank Zach and...

Any head-fiers going this year.?   http://www.decware.com/newsite/zenfestcam.html

To get this impression thread started, let me thank Tweak Studio for providing the facilities for the event.  They were really accommodating.  It was a great turnout today and I wanted to thank all those who came to downtown Chicago on a Saturday in August.  I know there were several people from...

First I would like to say thanks to Keith for organizing this meet.  I had a great time.  Always enjoy meeting fellow Head-Fiers.  A few pictures I took with my phone.         The new Audeze X made the event and I must say they were just fresh out of the box.  They sounded...

While not much headphone presence at the show, I was wondering if anyone was going.  Right now, I probably will drive up on the 9th only.   http://www.axpona.com

I wasn't sure where to put this since this issue has some great reviews.  For those interested here are the links to the reviews of the SR-71B and LCD3.  Chris Martens had great reviews of both.  ...

I recently purchased the HiRis USB of Head-Fier's Dev Avidon sophomore album and thought I would pass along the link to let other Head-Fiers give it a try if they like.  For those that are into vinyl, Dev indicated he will be releasing a limited addition in the next month or so.    ...

I was curious what people thought about AUDIOGON revised website that was released today.  Personally, I am not a fan of smaller and lighter fonts as well as any more advertisements.  They relocated them to the side of the page instead of at the bottom so they can annoy you more.  I guess it...

  At this year’s ChiUniFi, in addition to their generous support to the raffle, Head-Direct and HiFiMan sent their HE-300, HE-500 and HE-6 for the attendees to audition.  Since I have the HE-6, I really wanted to listen to the HE-500s as I was reading the comments on Head-Fi about this...

With the discussion of the Decware products recently on the forum especially with the HiFiMan HE-6, I was wondering if anyone was planning on attending the 2011 Zenfest?       http://www.decware.com/newsite/zenfest2010.html

The Absolute Sound website released a "Guide to Vinyl Playback" I thought some may be interested in. Below is the link. http://www.avguide.com/buyers-guide/the-absolute-soundhi-fi-guide-vinyl-playback-0?src=Playback

I was wondering if there was any interest in trying to get a small meet together in the May / June time frame this year in the Chicago area? ChiUniFi 5 isn't until early November, which is a long time to go between meets.

For those who were unable to attend, here is a link to the videos of the seminar at the 2010 RMAF in Denver CO.   The first video "Embracing The Industry Future:  The Role of New Media" is the one Jude was a panelist on.  ...
