Uhh, I have no idea whose near Binghamton, NY (1 hour from Syracuse, NY and 3.5 hours from NYC) but if you're interested, I can get a decent sized room and have a decent mini-meet

I'm not aware of too many Head-Fi'ers in that general area, but there are quite a few of us in Western NY and we get together from time to time.

 

[classicalguy]

I'm in Syracuse - not too far. Binghamton is a famous audio town - home of McIntosh!

 

[jinp6301]

Yea, Ive been to McIntosh labs. Its a pretty cool place.

Well, if you want to get together, I can probably reserve a room at binghamton university.

Hi,

Im Syracuse University - but originally from Austria/Belgium - so I could not bring lots of equipment. I only brought an echo layla 24/96 soundcard, RS1s and K701s.

Id generally be very interested in a meet - if we can get more people together. Im especially looking for tube-amps!

best, Nonno

 

[soloz2]

if you guys get something together I might be willing to take a road trip. Would depend on the date though.

 

[classicalguy]

I've never gone to a meet, so I don't really know what happens, but if people are interested in getting together to listen and compare equipment I'd be interested. If we're talking just a few people, we could do it at my house. Maybe in conjunction with a bbq lunch when the weather brightens up a bit.

Nonno - I'm also associated with SU. I have hd-580s, sr-60s, ksc 75s, e2-cs and a bunch of different speakers. I also just ordered an emu 0404usb, and I have an older little headroom amp, so together we should have some thiings to listen to for comparison. I don't have any tubes however.

I'm curious about mcintosh labs. I have a mac c-36 preamp not getting much use. What was the tour like?

I'm in Ithaca, and I may be able to convince a friend (with a car) to come with me if there's a meet in Binghamton. I could bring my K601s and iBasso D1.

Hi guys,
I am in Syracuse too. Count me in. As long as its not the first week of March - I can definitely make it. I will be ordering some a new amp and headphone this week. So I should have something to bring. Lets make this happen!

I went with a bunch of electrical engineers so it was more engineering based the the regular tour. But at the end we got to listen to their super top of the line HT system

And, I dont know where this could happen. It seems like theres more syracuse people then binghamton people so it should be at syracuse imo.

I wonder if we can make this happen?

 

[jinp6301]

Well, I can throw a few dates around to see if you guys are interested, but I think it should be whenever classicalguy wants it if he's hosting.

If I'm hosting, I can probably get a free room on basically any saturday morning/afternoon.

btw, the NYC meet is on 3/22 and I'll be going to that, so we should do it before/after that date

 

[Ash]

Sounds good!
I should have the ZERO DAC/AMP in the next week or so, if u guys are interested in giving it a listen.
I guess we can start by PMing ppl in this thread and see where our headcount is?

 

[classicalguy]

As I said, I can host at my house if we don't have too many people - and if we wait until the weather warms up I can offer some good BBQ to go along with it. I'd be fine traveling to Binghamton too - whatever people want to do.

Yea, I'd really like to hear the zero. I just ordered a new t-amp gen 2 that we could play with too.

i peeked in at this thread since i was curious about 'binghamton' and 'downstate' being used as adjacent decriptors as to the location. i still don't get that one....
