Welcome!

Ohhhh, I might be interested in the Alphas. I'd also love to hear the Axioms. Since moving in August I can finally use speakers without worry of neighbours threatening to evict me :)

Now that notifications are working again (apparently I missed the last meet entirely...) I'd be up for one!

The 16th works for me. At least I think so. Summer is always crazy, might be at the cabin :)

And third.

All dates work for me! I'm curious to compare my Z7 with the Z1R 

Yeah, I think an Atticus will be my next purchase. Perhaps if someone is interested in an Eikon we could get the bundle and save $100 each. Looks to be $200 off for the pair instead of buying separately. I'm not exactly financially ready just yet, but some time in the future...

Ooooh! Has anyone heard one of these? If I remember right the SE out is kinda meh and everything is improved significantly by going balanced. At least I think that's what I remember reading.   Always with the temptations @Armaegis. Must resist...

Hahha keep on tryin! For the time being I think I'm going to pass. I don't have any problem at ALL with the stock pads on the Purplehearts. Could be the shape of my head, but I don't even notice that I'm wearing them, even after many hours. They fit me absolutely perfectly and are extremely comfy.

Hmmmm maybe! The thing is, I'd really like to hear how the sound changes first. Some say good, some say not so good. I say I have no idea unless I hear it 

Same here. Perhaps tomorrow? I'll send a PM.

Oooh interesting! Apparently the Tube+ option has a decent effect on sound (at least according to some reviews I've read). I've been eyeing this thing for a while actually. Might have to come check it out!   Edit: Completely forgot to say thanks for hosting the meet Armaegis! It was great to...

Hmmm, yeah I'm torn. I don't really need pocketable. I've been using the shift + an old laptop, which is great for my ears music wise. I'm a metalhead you see. They don't do DSD (at least none of the bands I listen to do). I listen for the joy of music as opposed to being analytical about it. Me...

I'm currently looking into a DAP, I think. I do probably 98% of my listening at home through my PC, but with cabin season coming up it's time to get portable. My phone (Galaxy S5) just doesn't cut it. Even going USB to the Peachtree shift it destroys the phone's battery in about an hour.  ...

I only plan to bring my Purplehearts and the Peachtree shift so I can have a good frame of reference to other awesome stuff.

Welcome to the club! I've been reading Head-Fi for years but only decided to do some talking about a month ago. I can be your conscience at the meet if you need. I need help with that too. We can help each other hahha :)

I can see the campus (and used to work in the Smart Park). You know those two giant buildings by the Four Points hotel? I'm in the one that looks towards the U of M. I can see the stadium.

I approve of this. If you live 2 minutes from the U of M I can probably see your house from my balcony  

I did! There was drool. I'm really looking forward to hearing all sorts of new things. My bank account is not. Must resist...

I wonder if I'd be in that boat as well...hmmm. I even asked Brian Reimer (my mom and him were friends when they were kids - small world) himself about bringing in an Elear for display, but it's too expensive apparently. They CAN get both models though, so there's that.   I'm really looking...

Oh god no! Save me! Like I said I'm happy where I am. I don't have thousands to spend right now.   ...Please bring them to the meet...

Also, I totally get that. Everyone's ears are different, as is our taste in music. Apparently I'm not a fan of super analytical phones, says my ears. I listened to the Sennheiser hd 700s a little while ago and they didn't make me happy in any way. To each their own. That's what makes this hobby...

Hah! Yeah, I'm glad I haven't gone that high up the chain yet. I've intentionally tried to keep myself within my little bubble because...well...money.   I was hoping Brian Reimer had at least the Elear (being a Focal dealer and all) but they didn't. That probably would have ruined me.

Well, I guess I should say HI at some point. So HI Winnipeg people!   I've been reading and referring to Head-Fi for some years now, but I haven't used my words yet. Here goes.   I've always had a thing for audio. I guess it's due to growing up taking piano lessons and then taking band in...
