I'm going to come. I've been thinning my herd - just

1. Noble 6
2. Noble k10u
3. Red Audiofly DAC

Do we pay in advance?

 

[pkwak]

For your info there will be a whiteboard for you to list any gear that you would like to sell. You could announce beforehand anything thing that you would like to sell.

 

[pkwak]

Oh man, I'd love to go if it wasn't on a Sunday... all the way in Epping... and if I had decent equipment....  and I wasn't terrified of audiophiles....

1. Please pm your preferred day.
2.please advise if you have an alternative venue which we could hold the Can Con.
3. We welcome any members with even the slightest interest in appreciation of music. I also started with no gear of my own and thanks to hpz and wink that I came to appreciate finer things in life (in this case being an audiophile).
4.Please do not be terrified of being an audiophile. But then again be terrified as your wallet is going to suffer greatly although the return has been beyond all my expectations. Finer things do tend to cost a lot.

Cheers
Paul

Great!
 
Red Audiofly, do you mean Audioquest Dragonfly Red?
 
You pay the fee when you arrive at the venue.

My memories of the past Sydney Can Con is all about pkwak slowly converting to become the serious audiophile. I remember a few years ago you were saying the K702 (Q702?) was all you ever need....

Being audiophile means spending time listening to music. It's a bit different from collecting fancy watches or shoes, because you actually have to dedicate some time to sit down and listen to music for hours in order to appreciate the gear in a nice environment.
 
That's why these Can Con events are great.

  Hey People,
 
I would like to come.
 
I can bring
 
MrSpeakers Alpha Dog
Mr Speakers Alpha Prime
Schiit Gungnir (DS) DAC
 
If I can pry the jaws of my credit card open a bit I might be able to bring a Schiit Jotenheim - that's been on my present-to-myself list for way too long - and this seems like the perfect excuse - sharing and all that! Otherwise we can slip the Gungnir into the setup of whoever is interested.
 
What's the parking like at the venue?
 
cheers
Jon

great - i've always been curious re alpha dogs but ever heard them

 

[Jono338]

  great - i've always been curious re alpha dogs but ever heard them

 
They're great ... then you can listen to the Primes. Oh Yeah.
 

  Damn. No Jotenheim I'm afraid. No stock in Sydney OR at Schiit. I tried ...
 
Jon

 
I'll bring my Cambridge Audio 840E pre-amp which has a decent headphone stage so I can get setup - and it has two balanced and seven SE inputs ... yeah seven! Might be handy for some A/B comparisons. Or even A/B/C/D/E/F/G comparisons. lol
 
cheers
Jon

Oh wow, I didn't even know there were headphone meets happening in Sydney, it's not too late to sign up, is it?
 
Also another quick question, my gear is decidedly mid-fi and definitely not up to the level of what a lot of people are bringing, should I still bring some stuff anyway in case there's anybody interested? Especially since there'll be some equipment overlap with others, would it just actually make things more confusing because there are multiples of the same gear around?

 

[tumble]

I speak for myself, but I'm interested in gear at all levels.

No it's not too late to sign up. If you can tell us what you can bring over then I can add it to the list on the first page.
 
The whole idea of the meet is for people to try out all sorts of gear (cheap or expensive) and exchange ideas, so you are definitely welcome.
 
Yes you would have the risk of mixing up with other people's gear, so I usually put a small coloured tag (zip tie) on the stuff I'm bringing.

But NOTE: sandalaudio brings 60 headphones with him.
 
The others that might bring 1-3 have no real problem keeping track of them - it's not a massive gathering and members there do hand your headphones back if they've gone to another amp/desk just so things don't get too congested on a table (for example)
