Wewt, another Shpongle fan! I didn't think any more of our kind existed
 
If you've got the "Tales of the Inexpressible" album, Dorset Perception makes a great test track. Infected Mushroom's "Legend of the Black Shawarma" is also awesome; the entire album is very well recorded.
 
Incidentally, I'll be bringing my Samsung Galaxy phone as a portable source. It's actually very good (Wolfson audio hub).

yup~ go shpongle and infected mushroom~ Everyone else is missing out~

Do you think it would be a good/bad idea if we all download a few nominated test tracks on our sources?
 
Issues might be 'downloading/purchasing' and our choice of good test tracks
 
But then we can compare sources easier.

 

[pkwak]

well, that is fantastic idea.
and yes, choice of good test track could be an issue.
 
One way to tackle this is perhaps, each attendee could send me one or two test tracks of their choice and I will burn them on one dvd to be brought to the can con, so that they can be copied on the day to the source. That way, every user just have to select their song from the folder in the source. What do you think?

Hey Covenant, if there is any shpongle or infect mushroom album you don`t have, let me know and I will burn them on a disc and bring it on the day. Unfortunately I only have them on mp3 format (320kb),

I got some news! Not exactly good ones.
This should the audiophile's worse nightmare LOL!
I have to go under surgery on my right ear, I had the ear drum perforated for nearly 6 months and is not closing.
No, it wasn't a loud amp LOL, Diving and allergy don't go well together.
I've lost some earring but I should get it back after the op.
OK, the thing is scheduled for the 30th of June. They just rushed me cause they have a cancellation otherwise they are booked for a while.
I should be fine to go the meet (I won't be listening too much anyway it's pointless, same as when u got a flu etc.)
If I can't make it all the best and I'll be looking forward for the one after.
Cheers, Yogui.

Realistically, a test track is only useful if you're very familiar with it. The idea is to be able to pick up subtle differences in the way a track is reproduced, and you won't be able to do that unless you know every nuance of that track.
 
A track might have a well-recorded low bass rumble in some parts, for instance. You could use that as a way to test how a setup reproduces low bass - provided that you already know how the track should sound (or at least how you're used to it sounding), and be able to detect the difference.

Hence, this is why I suggested that people could send me one or two songs of their choice through email and I could burn on dvd to be brought on the day. The songs could be copied onto sources on the day.

Is anyone interested in purchasing my system?

If so I'll bring it across for people to have a listen, if not then I'll probably have to be at uni.
The joys of PhDs. Final stretch though

I can’t make this meet, I have mountains to ski on this particular weekend.
 
For those who were interested in hearing my gear, there will be other meets, if your from Sydney pm me and we could arrange something.
Jason please just let me know when you have a weekend afternoon free.   
Tom and Jeremy I’m gutted I’m missing the opportunity to hear and see your creations.
I wish everyone all the best of luck, happy listening, enjoy.
