Actually I just contacted Head-Direct and Audez'e today to see if they were interested in attending or at least sending a demo of their planar headphones. I certainly hope both Ray and Todd are planning to attend.

Would love to have a Shure rep there. They could bring 530s and the new full size line. I have a decent relationship with them, but if someone is really tight over there nhey should sent an email. If not, I can try.

 

[Todd R]

I can bring some of my goodies

I ordered Head-Direct's HE-5 so hopefully it will be here in time for the meet.

Excellent, I have the LCD-1, slightly modded, so we could have all the "new" planars present.

Oops my bad, I thought this was going to take place at the Holiday Inn again in Skokie. The restaurant I mentioned before is not by the Hyatt. There is a Hooters near by though...

x2. And if I get REALLY lucky, maybe the Beyer T1's will be here...but I doubt it.

 

[morphsci]

Excellent. We will have HE-5(s), LCD-2 and modded LCD-1 there for comparison.

My HE-5's actually arrived yesterday, so i will bring them for sure.

I picked mine up at the post office this morning as well. They currently are plugged into my Apache for burn in.

Ray

Thanks for the generous offer. I haven't totally decided whether to stay or head back after the meet. I need to work that out yet.

I moved it to my Hornet in a High Gain setting and can't believe how well the Hornet drives these headphones. At less than a 10 am setting, they are more than loud enough for my listening. I had heard they needed a lot of power but the Hornet is controlling them fairly well.

Well, with a new acquisition of mine I can now say for certain that I will be bringing a rig.

- Marantz CD5001 CDP/Transport
- Parasound D/AC 1100
- Headamp Gilmore Lite V1 (w/ Elpac)
- Audio Technica AD2000
- Grado HF-2 (not totally sure, I was considering selling it but I guess I can hang on to it a little bit longer)
