Gah!
  I bought Viva Egoistaas tube amp + Hugo dac with my hd 800, beyer T1 I can't describe the sound it's not the same headphones : rich ,full sound , very huge soundstage, crazy vocals it like real.
I'm about to sell both hd 800 and T1 and keep 009 and lcd 3 but now no way , I'm very happy .
but with hugo dac you will prefer philips X1 : very good bass,detail, big soundstage but not like T1 and hd 800 but still big .

 
Gah! Is there a local dealer for the beyerdynamic T1 D:?

Hi All,

Does anyone know where I can get a listen of a Cavalli LAu around these parts. I'm looking at buying an amp and I'm left with the macintosh mha100 which I believe dubai audio stock, but cannot find anywhere that I can listen the Cavalli... Any help would be appreciated!

IMHO 3 - 6 pm is not enough, has to be atleast for 6 hours so that everyone can try almost everything. I propose 10 am to 5 pm & we can order Pizza for lunch. 
 
I prefer the  8th of May
 
I am interested in listening to: almost everything that I do not own :) 
 
I will bring this equipment: will get almost all the HP's & amps in my profile except Master 9 (it is an pain to unplug & plug  it from my rack, takes atleast 40 mins, but if atleast 5 people are interested in listening to it I will get it).
 
Edit - A few more thoughts....
 
  1. We will need confirmed attendance from atleast 10 members to make it viable
  2. Once we get the confirmations, we should form a committe of 4-5 members to manage the meet. This committe should meet by atleast by 17th April to draw out the budget & plan & organise various things for the meet.

Awesome @punit!!
 
Many thanks for coming, you and your amp/headphone collection would otherwise be missed dearly :wink:
 
We can have the room for long, no problem. Agree that the more people we are the more time we will need. So I assume everyone is fine with extending the timing, so let's just do it.
 
For muslims that don't want to miss the friday prayer, a mosque is only a 3 minute walk away!
Pizza order: this pizzeria is as well only a 3-4 minute walk away and they deliver, they make awesome Pizza http://www.pitfiredubai.ae
 
The room can only be confirmed 100% 10 days before the event. Longer advance booking is for some weird reason not possible.
Please let me know who would want to be in the committee? You can also whatsapp me under 055-9546724.
 
Cheers,
Ralf (aka Koolpep) makes it easier if I use my real name.
