Wouldn't that be killer letting you all listen to it before he gets it? I'm not sure I'm that cruel, we'll see how I'm feeling Saturday. Anyway, here's to hoping I can make it down. nate

Hope you can make it Nate. One reason being that I'm dying to hear an M3

Also, anyone hauling along a PPAv2 (or PPAv1 w/Diamond Buffers)?

Well, I just wish it was finished (w/ STEPS, crossfeed, etc.) but at least it would give folks an idea of the potential that's there.

If we can get the grounding issue sorted with my friends Ian's PPA V2 (see here ) perhaps I can convince him to come along or let me borrow it for the day.

Here's to hoping.

Well guys, I thought I would wait till the meet to tell you all, but it seems so far away... I managed to get my greedy paws on a Millet Hybrid demo unit from MisterX. Needless to say, I'll be bringing it up to the meet.

 

[Salt Peanuts]

Great news! Mikhail of Singlepower should be joining us for the meet!

 

[Tyll Hertsens]

And here's some more news: so will I!

The folks here at the office said that because my trip was cut short, and orders seem to be going well, I can come visit. No, I'm not going to have the tables, but I will bring a bunch of stuff in cases.

Can't wait to see you!

Tyll

 

[n_maher]

Headroom and Ray and Singlepower, oh my!

 

[dag655321]

Is anyone bringing a turntable (yes a record player) to the meet? I have a few nice 180g LP that have not been played in a while (since I no longer have a working turntable myself). I'd be happy to bring them along, but I don't want to leave them in the car if they wont get used.

Uh-oh, did I just show me age?

I have been asking the same question, if some one is going to bring any turntable to the meet please let me know So I will bring my new phono stage Emmeline XR-10B with me. If not, then it won't make sence draging it over there. Please any one out there if you have good TT & don't mind bringing it over, as vinyl is really fun to listen to. If no one responds then I will come with out the phono stage.
Cheers.

I will gladly bring my TT...It is a modest rig...Rega Planar 3 w/ Goldring 1006 cartridge. But, I can understand that anyone with a better one would think twice about traveling with thiers. I may be a little late (traveling from Philly)...but I will arive with TT and previously mentioned gear.

If this is satisfactory I will bring a few LP's as well! (Wilco, Sade, Miles Davis and maybe one more). Please bring any you want to hear!!!

Ray we can either hook up my MF X-Can V3 amp or use one of your demo units. My Senn HD650's w/Equinox Cable will be available as well. If this offer is accepted then I will most likely leave my Arcam CD player behind, unless anyone was trying to hear it specifically...PM me.

 

[Yikes]

I'll find out about the Benchmark tomorrow.

 

[Salt Peanuts]

Yikes - Thanks!

Tyll - I'm really glad that you'll be joining us after all!

Looks like it's going to be a full house of a meet! I can hardly wait!

Oh, and if anyone sees me moving toward a turntable setup, stop me. I don't need any further help in shrinking my wallet. lol.

 

[dvr]

I'll be there with a Benchmark DAC-1.

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

 

[n_maher]

Well, Thaddy is probably going to be pissed, but I put his amp in a temporary case tonight (pics to follow tomorrrow, when I can see straight) so you all can check it out this weekend. You have to promise to be nice to it

.

So more and more it looks like I'll be in attendance with said Millett Hybrid and my M3 in tow. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Any word on the PPAv2? Icy and I are both trying to decide between the PPAv2 and the M3 for future construction projects. It'd be nice to hear both of them. What opamps are in your M3?

Unfortunately the PPA threw a fit tonight and now needs some love (torched output resistor). I'll try and see what I can do but there's a limited number of hours between now and Saturday. I'm hopeful I can fix it, but no promises.

The M3 is running the "stock" AD8610s as I found them to be the best at resolving detail while not losing anything that couldn't be corrected by a bit of bass-boost, which is installed. If I can I'll bring a set of 637s/627 for people to roll.

If (by chance) you read Ian and I's comparison of these two amps I think you'd find that there isn't a bad choice to be made between the M3 and PPA. They're both really fantastic (IMHO).
