2012 Headphone Meet @ LAX Hilton - Saturday, August 18, 2012 - OFFICIAL THREAD
Jul 17, 2012 at 5:34 PM Post #227 of 483
I would like to attend the meet, if the soft limit of 100 attendees has not been reached.
(I counted 74 :)
I do not intend on bringing any gear, except maybe my Senn 650's,
unless someone wants me to bring any of the gear I currently have:
Matrix M-Stage Amp
udac 
Koss ksc-75
 
I'm in real need of a DAC, and I'm contemplating the usual $400-$500 candidates;
Arcam rdac, schiit bifrost, dacmagic + .
 
Common sense tells me I should wait after the meet before I purchase the DAC,
but I don't always win the battle with common sense.  I will update my post if I end up buying
a DAC that I can bring.

To Howie75: I have a wireless Arcam rDac in my office system.  I wasn't planning to bring it, but I can if you'd like me to.
 
Also: I will almost certainly have a Bryston BHA-1 with me.  Bryston vs. Luxman P-200 shootout is on!

There's a limit???  Crap, I got a friend sitting on the fence that hasn't RSVP'd, gotta get him to post then.
 
Also, in case the limit thing is real, this is gonna be my first meet and I am totally stoked.  Don't care who you are, I ain't giving' up my spot to NOBODY!

I'd like to attend.
 
I'd like to bring
 
  1. Audeze LCD-2 Rev 2 (recabled) headphone
  2. Hifiman EF5 (modded) amp
  3. Woo WA6-SE (modded) amp
  4. PS Audio Lambda II transport (modded)
  5. K Works Superberry DAC
 
and I can stay within a half-table. Might not be able to set up both amps at the same time but that's fine.

C'mon to the show. I'll set 1/2 table for each of you. Bring the DAC too. I'm sure many people are interested. I know I am and hopefully I will be able to drop by your table.

I love the Woo WA6-SE with the Audeze LCD-2. The amp is on the bright side which complements the slightly dark headphones and gives them oodles of top-end life.
 
My Woo is extensively modified. There is one "mod" that you absolutely must do or else the amp is pretty lousy as it ships from the manufacturer-- and that is clean the oxidation off the tube pins. The NOS tubes they provide it with are usually highly oxidized. (Note that there are no current-production tubes which work with the Woo. Hmm, at least the 9-pin types. I'm not sure about the 8-pin types used with the adapter. These are old TV tubes.)

Bringing:
SR404LE, SR007MK1, SR009
Koss ESP/10
HD800/HD650
Lavry DA11 / Stax 727
+ maybe more

Slight change of equipment as usual, if its not listed here it's same as before:
 
Technics SL-1200mk2 w/Cardas tonearm wiring and lower capacitance output RCAs
 
Black Widow might be on the Ariston RD11s if I can get it dialed in right or stay on the Sony,we'll see!
 
Most likely won't be bringing the 2275.
 
Jul 19, 2012 at 11:39 PM Post #238 of 483
Oh, and the V15 V MR will be on the Technics if no one objects. I will try to put my V15 Type II on the Black Widow in that case!

Won't have the 1219 either. Can bring a Technics SL-D2 though for comparison's sake to the 1200. I wonder how they compare? :)
