It's a go for the Chicago Spring Meet! We will be gathering at VanL Speakerworks on Saturday, April 24th from Noon - 5:00 p.m. Set-up time starts at 11:00 a.m. John (the owner) stated we could stay a bit longer but I figure SOME of us have lives to get back to. The address is:

5704 North Western Avenue.

Just a few blocks North of Foster Avenue. Please check for directions on MapQuest. There is plenty of street parking on Western Avenue. VanL is on the west side of Western Avenue.

We have contacted some of head-fi's sponsors, hopefully we will have some gear to listen to other than our own.

The owner is being very gracious with his space. We can have food and sodas. We can not have any alcohol since we may have some under 21s attending.

There will be enough outlets (32 in one room!), but please bring your power strips and/or extension cords. Does anyone have any contacts to get 6 5-6 ft long tables? Please PM me if you have any you can spare. We will have enough chairs.

Please add to this post with the gear you will be bringing.

Open invitation to all head-fiers near and far!

Regards - reynman

I might or might not be able to make it, dunno exactly yet but I will have a better idea as the date gets closer. I live in the far west burbs so the location is not the best for me but if I'm free I'll try to make it

I have: computer with Audigy 2 (which I probably would not bring), NEC CDR-602 drive (don't have a DAC yet though), Total Airhead old 2AA style, Sennheiser HD545s, Ety 4Ps with various adapter thingies, Koss Sportapros, modded Koss Plugs.

 

[Shurenuff]

I'm in! My first Head-Fi meet.

 

[nismo96]

I'm pretty sure that I can make it.

My gear:

Home: Sony CDP-XA1ES.

Portable - MZ-N510 minidisc recorder. MZ-E710 minidisc player, Supermini headphone amp.

Headphones: Denon AH-D210, Grado SR-60, Koss PortaPro, Sennheiser PX200, Sony MDR-E868, Sony MDR-ED238.

I may have an HD MP3 player or PCDP by then too.

 

[Eagle_Driver]

I'm in, too!

But I'll be carrying less equipment than the amount that I had carried to my previous two Head-Fi meets.

So, my setup will consist of:

1. Sources:

I will bring my 325s ra-1 NAD 542.

power strips if you need them to.


by any chance was any of you shoping at dominicks today?

 

[Born2bwire]

Being so close to finals it'll be a toss-up if I can come.

 

[bhd812]

we need some rs-1's...lol

 

[Todd R]

I will try to be there.

 

[strohmie]

I should be there, unless something crops up. See the sig for what I'll be bringing.

 

[dariusf]

I should make it but I think I will be bringing much less gear this time.

I think I will bring:

Grado SR325
Grado RS1
Grado HP-1000 (HP2)
Audio Technica W1000
Headmaster
Corda HA2
Philips 963sa
Outlaw ICs
Signalcable power cords

Please let me know if you really want me to bring any of the above to make sure it will be there

Other gear including some 6 other headphones by request only. Please check my profile.

See you all there!

Any chance we could get the new HeadRoom Total BitHead in for a demo from Headroom?

 

[Shurenuff]

Hey guys, what is the typical procedure for demoing canalphones? I'd love for fellow Head-Fiers to try my E5's if they choose to but I'm a little paranoid about it (had some bad experiences with wax when I let someone try them out before). Maybe buy a pack of disposable foamies? It's a shame though because, IMO, the E5's sound so much better with the tri-flanges. What do you guys think?

 

[dariusf]

usually its disposable foamies, thats how Shure was demoing their stuff at the last meet

 

[reynman]

dariusf,

We should be getting the new TAs from Headroom as well as other goodies.

See you there.
