  Mmm, they look almost like HD-650's... I'm interested in hearing them!


Both will be there, so that's an easy comparison to arrange.

But that would mean I'd have to remove the HD-650's from my head and give another headphone a fighting chance...

Very exciting! I didn't expect my E12A to be a good match for R70X. This is going to be a very looong week till Sunday! I'm also interested to hear HD6x0 and Oppo PM-3... some amps too.
 
BTW, my AKG K612 is in town and will be "out for delivery" tomorrow, so it's going to the meet too.

Yeah, I was very surprised by the synergy. Good thing @swich401 was able to get us 3 extra hours... there's so much cool stuff to play with!

Posted some info and pictures on a new thread about the Opera Consonance "Suzanne" Portable Music Player. This will be at the meet on Sunday, and it sounds amazing (at least compared to other things I've heard). Looking forward to comparing it against some of the other items at the meet.

I have a couple more budget IEM's to add to the list. We'll be bringing a pair of RHA MA150's and Skullcandy 50/50's as well.
 
I still have my fingers crossed that my HiFimeDIY Sabre Android DAC will show up in time for the meet, and I'll take another look at replacing the jack on my Sunrise Xciteds today as well.

  I've got the open-back EL-8 from Headphonebar and I'm bringing in an AK Jr as well.
 
See you guys at 31st!


Junior? Wonderful! Nice going... See you Sunday.

I haven't been monitoring the thread but holy crap this is going to be a nice meet.. I worry there won't be enough room for everyone's gear LOL. Although I do expect people to drop out/no shows and I do expect some will come early/leave early/come late, etc... I'll likely only be able to stay until around 3 or 4.

One word of advice, if you have an extension cord, bring it. Also bring a power bar for your stuff.
 
Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

It certainly looks like there could be some squeezing and stacking on the tables. @swich401 is bringing some shelf paper so we can stack things if necessary without scratching other gear. Like you say, there will likely be some coming and going and absences...
