Also, I would like someone knowledgeable in audio gear to help me. Can someone organize the gears into type of gears for me (headphone, earphone, dac, amp etc)~ ? Thank you~

Just curious of the "T2" in gear list.
 
Does it means a SRM-T2 or SRM-007T2? If it is SRM-T2 then I will definitely come and bring my 009 to the meeting as it is the only STAX amp that I have not tried.....

 

[deadlylover]

It's referring to the DIY version of the SRM-T2, I don't think it's completed yet, so keep on praying =P.

 

[nattonrice]

Yeah it's the diyt2 i have sititng at my feet atm.
 
Unfortunately it is highly unlikely i'll have the time to finish it before the meet.
 
LOL I love the higgs gun... that was me being witty you realize?
I promise I'm not trying to outdo CERN in my living room  =P

 

[deadlylover]

Hehe, careful there, the Organization may be keeping close watch on you......
 
How are we looking in terms of Stax for this meet? We need some more Stax love.
If I can make it, I'll be bringing the 007a and a Blue Hawaii if these exams would just get the hell out of the way of me finishing it (well, and I'm lazy =P).

 

[pkwak]

Well, I have contacted the Australian stax distributor as well.  Unfortunately they had some other appointment that day, however they are very interested and they responded that if they can, they will try their best to make it to the meet. Also inquired about sr-009 but unfortunately they did not have it in stock. In case they do respond that they can join us, is there other stax products that you would be interested?

 

[pkwak]

Actually, I will let you when they are definitiely going to join us, dont want you to have false hopes.

If there is a blue hawaii I think I will come with my 009 lol.
 
Good to hear a 009 + BHSE Combo.
 
I've chosen a Krell Evolution 202 + SRM 717 combo after consideration because Blue Hawaii might take half year waiting time but I would be happy to try how it performs.

I do not think they have SR-009 in stock. Even yes the price will be like $9999 something, it is better to get one from Japan instead....
 
I think a lot of people will be interested in 3070,4070 or 507+600 ltd etc which are more affordable...
 
As a serious Stax player I've tried almost all Stax amp, the only exclusion is the SRM-T2...I might try get one from Japan if there are 1 available in the future...
 
Anyway I'm waiting for KGSS/BHSE/KGBH coming in the meeting then I can join with my own SR-009.

i think only top line stax appeal to me unfortunately, lower stax have always disappointed in some area compared to top of the line dynamics. airy, fast, incredibly detailed, but (and i know this is a cliche) lacking weight. so i'm hoping a certain rig will change that, although my wallet is praying it doesnt. at least i can make my own amp.

 

[pkwak]

Yay~ only four weeks to go until Can Con everyone~ hope everyone is as excited as I am.

 

[pkwak]

Also plz tell your headfi friends about this meet, we need at least 30 more people to break even as to the cost. T T.

eh? at @$15pp
the venue costs are around 8*30 = 240 (w/o the refundable bond)
pizza is let's say $7.5pp/2 (if on avg one person has 1/2 a pizza). + say a softdrink @ $1.5
30*5.25=160
240+160=400. That's 26 people
Am I missing something?

the bus? are you still considering a bus to pick people up from the station? that would be expensive for a minority and they would have to all turn up and leave at the same time. how about carpooling, or a couple of volunteers to go pick some people up from the station?

 

[pkwak]

No, no bus.
Also need to consider morning tea, the cost spent for name tags, baby wipes were expensive and so were the cups for cold and hot drinks. Plus there are little things that was required, paper towel, napkins, scotch tapes etc. Also I am not going to ask the volunteers to pay for morning tea and lunch when they are going to help out all day without pay.
