  I would definitely wear a hat like that
I'm quite sure that I will be the youngest audiophile there
I am pretty new to audio, I've only had this hobby for around a year
and I'm 17, still in high school

LOL What was the offer?? I don't remember!! 

I have been looking at the K712 tho... The one I heard at the meet reminded me of the HD700 but with more kick. Very nice mix 

And yes I have the bug!! The T1 we heard a few meets ago Chris was pretty special wasn't it! Not at all what I was expecting. 

So I would have to say the K712 and the T1 would be my top two 

Oh and price I'm looking to spend it $600 and under. More the under lol not really wanting to spend that much unless I find a stupid good deal on something. 


Thanks,


:evil:

I still haven't heard the T1, because I was clueless when it was present sad day, I'll go to my Schiit corner now

 

[funch]

I s'pose I should list what I'm bringing:
 
 
Decware CSP2+/Taboo II combo w/DIY upgraded parts
 
Wyred 4 Sound DAC 2
 
M2 Tech Hi Face EVO USB to SPDIF converter w/DIY Sigma 11 PS (new from last meet)
 
Sennheiser HD800 (DIY Cardas cable, balanced with 1/4" and 1/8" adapters)
 
Audeze LCD-3 (ditto above)
 
Hi Fi M8/iPod Classic
 
DIY 'Plastic Pantz' (T50RP drivers)
 
PS Audio Power Plant Premier

I'd personally vouch for something from the Beyerdynamic Tesla line. Both their T 1 and the T 90 look so inviting. Definitely would love to hear those. Heard the T 1 a few meets back and it was marvelous!

I can second this recommendation, actually. Thinking about T90s and eventually a T1 for myself somewhere down the line, but I have to take care of my vinyl and speaker rig first.

Also of note: I decided to get the Teac UD-H01 DAC instead of the Parasound Zdac. I will be bringing this along with my recently acquired Ultrasone Proline 2500 headphones, and my SX-780 will also be making a return to add more vintage flavor

need to get my hands on some DeoxIt though...

EDIT: and yes, I will still be bringing the X2 and vinyl rig

SECOND NOTE TO ALL ATTENDEES: I have been alerted that some pre - super bowl events will also be starting on the 24th. All coming from the north or west, keep this in mind, as traffic may or may not be cooperative. Not sure which roads will be blocked off yet, but I know it will be somewhere around Jefferson.

 
I'm coming from the west side so thanks for the heads up! I can take MC85 all the way there so I should hopefully be able to avoid the crazy
 
 
Thanks,

It indeed was!!! I thought the T90 would bounce around your price range a bit more and it's from the same line as the T1.

Allen, it seems we have a lot of tube amps going to be present for the most part. Including your Decware, I can surely say I am excited!

 

[DemonFox]

I'm bringing my Schiit Vali so that will add to the tube amps! Well the tube in there is so small it's more of a "fuse" amp lol


Thanks

I want to try the Vali. My only thing is the sensitive microphonic tube in it. Doesn't it get distracting?

  Hello! This will be my first meet I've ever attended. Is it ok if I don't bring anything? I'm just looking to audition the headphones that are there

 

Insatiable One.. I see in your signature you have the Ibasso DX90,  I have the Ibasso DX50, would love to hear that model if you still haven't sold it by the time of the meet
 
See you there

Well just got the go ahead from work, looks like I'll be making the trip down from Vegas to be there. I'm not sure I will be bring anything but if i do I will most likely bring my Philips Fidelio X2 and my portable amps: Fiio E12A, Vorzüge VorzAMP PURE II, Cayin C5. Thinking about bring my IEMs too.

To anyone else monitoring this thread and still on the fence about attending...my advice is jump in.. get your self, gear and come on down to hang out with the AZ gang.. This will be just my third meet, but I am here to tell you the "everyone" treated me like a long lost friend , even during my first visit...  Remember , we are all there to brag, show off and generally share this passion we all have for "the music" and the only way you are going to be part of that is to show up
 
 
So, what you gonna do??
 
See you there,, oh yeah I forgot to say I would be there
 
Will bring my usual stuff.. Sennheiser HD 598 , PSB M4U2 and a few cheapy headphones for grins..
My Schiit stack.. Modi and Magni
IBasso DX50 and some really old music for you youngsters
and the latest toy  Ifi IDSD nano
 
and some electrical stuff so we have some power options (surge strips, extension cords )

Woohoo! Glad you could get the go ahead. It's portable amp central you got there, I'll be eagerly awaiting a chance to listen! It also appears I've met a fellow X2 user. Good thing perhaps, seeing that many of our regular attendees are anxious to hear them. A bit less than a mere week and a half until the 24th!

It's been a blast having regular attendees like yourself to our meets. It wouldn't be sustainable without you guys! Looking forward to this next one, super jazzed.

That Decware and LCD-3, though. Such beauty, glory, and magnificence. Someone listen to it for me, alright? Or rather, do yourselves all a favor, and everyone listen to it.

 

[roscoofyore]

i can haul in my grommes tube amp if anyone wants a listen.  as well as the bluenote koala tubed cd player, which sounds just fantastic.  and whatever headphones i can dig up.  lcd2, hd650, K702 and the grado 325is if i ever get them back from my unruly niece.   anyway.  roger.
