Hey Fran
 
Hoping to pop along (my wife is due a baby in the next 2 1/2 weeks so it might be a short visit!!) , what time are you looking at?

 

[fran]

Hi mark,

1 to 6ish is the plan. Do you want to send me a pm with your email/mobile and I can send you on directions.


We have a good line up, both headphone and regular HiFi. Some really really good amps sources etc...

Fran

 

[fran]

Several DIY amps, and also some commercial ones.
 
 
I'm pretty stoked that one of the fellas, fryderyk is bringing his DIY amp - just about the best HPA I've ever heard. 
 
Just for kicks, the computer audio setup will be using horns and all valve amplification (not that you'd know it by listening) along with a variety of custom build PCs, dacs and OSs.
 
The second room will have a regular array of equipment - full list to be confirmed yet, but it'll be good - more on this tomorrow!!
 
 
All exciting and we should have a great day...... and its open to all who'd like to come along!

What is the Headphone amp that fryderyk built? Any pics, Im gonna be getting  a DNA stratus by the end of the year.
 
I want to build a DAC as well but in a long way away from that. I wonder would you know anyone who can build a buffalo 3? 

 

[fran]

I don't have exact details, solid state design, fet input, mosfet output, high quality power supply.

I don't offhand know, but I have a buffalo 2 that you can hear on the day....

Living in Belfast at the moment and find it difficult to find anywhere to demo high end gear.  Was in the listening suite in Dublin recently anywhere else in the country I could be trying?  Also would be interested in a meet if there is a future one, just getting started in head-fi nowadays.

 

[voxie]

hi, try hifihut in Dublin... www.hifihut.ie or Clooney Hifi also based in Dublin both have listening booths and cater for hi-end customers. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

 

[gHeadphone]

Agreed, both are great and very helpful
