The best reason to bring some personal headphones that you are familiar with is to try them on other people's rigs and see how they get along, and then to share them with others if nobody brought that same headphone.

Are any of those sources a turntable? I am hype for Sunday, so amped to hear all that gear.

 

[craiglester]

Sunday? It's tomorrow, Saturday.

Question: Does anyone that coming to the meet have a package (or two pair) of Comply T-100's they'd like to sell? I want to use them to try out other earphones, and also want to try the inner tubes for adapting my custom tips (which are sized for the outside of the X10, i.e. T-400).

I'll have a bunch with me you can use.

Great. Thanks. The pair I use for my custom tips might get ruined (squished, torn, etc.), so that's why I was thinking I should pay for them. I'll catch up with you in the morning.

Do you happen to be bringing UM3X's? I'd love to hear some.

 

[p0wderh0und23]

Yep. I'll have some with me.
Prolly the UM1, UM2, UM3X, Westone 3 and my Grado RS1's along with a myriad of portable amps.

I hereby invoke Grammar Nazi Clause #53: You're not being a Grammar Nazi when you inform someone of a slight error that most people don't realize is wrong.

Let me listen to those UM3X at the meet and we'll call it even, sir

Totally off-topic (and feeding the grammar nazi), but according to dictionary.com, myriad is both a noun and an adjective, so can be used either way. (There is even a link to examples and discussions of that fact.)

Here it is, reproduced: "Usage Note: Throughout most of its history in English myriad was used as a noun, as in a myriad of men. In the 19th century it began to be used in poetry as an adjective, as in myriad men."Myriad myriads of lives." This poetic, adjectival use became so well entrenched generally that many people came to consider it as the only correct use. In fact, both uses in English are parallel with those of the original ancient Greek. The Greek word mūrias, from which myriadmūrias was used in general prose and in mathematics while the adjective mūrias was used only in poetry."

Excellent link -- thanks. I suppose if you'd like to sound like a non-poet from the 19th century, feel free to use it as a noun

Further criticism of my view from wikipedia, should anyone be interested in this ridiculous alley I have dragged us into:

"Merriam-Webster notes, "Recent criticism of the use of myriad as a noun, both in the plural form myriads and in the phrase a myriad of, seems to reflect a mistaken belief that the word was originally and is still properly only an adjective.... however, the noun is in fact the older form, dating to the 16th century. The noun myriad has appeared in the works of such writers as Milton (plural myriads) and Thoreau (a myriad of), and it continues to occur frequently in reputable English. There is no reason to avoid it.""

Larry - I was able to sell my SRM-006t. In its place, I'm taking my SRM-252. Not as nice as the SRM-006t, but at least folks can hear my SR-202s.

Also, I won't be arriving until around noon. My wife had a slight change in plans and thus, my hall pass got deferred at bit.

Look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.
