Thinking about building a T2 clone....

 
Oh wow, heard that building the T2diy is extremely difficult though.

I liked the SR-007s that were at the last meet.....liked the sound signature a lot.

DO IT!  I've been keeping track of progress over at the other place, and it looks killer.  Problem is then you'll have to get some Stax Omegas...which isn't really a problem is it?

 

[GrindingThud]

That's part of the fun!

I've been on the lookout for a nice pair of used 507's, but it seems like everyone that owns a pair doesn't want to part with them. well, that and electrostat amps are...expensive. getting to demo a pair or two before jumping into the market would be awesome.

HiFiMAN is working on the Jade 2 right now, so there is also that to look forward to!

That's why I was wondering if anyone was bringing any.  I'm interested in the SR-207 with either the SRM-252 or SRM323 as I've read good things about the current generation of entry level Stax, but I'd like to get a feel for them first. 
 
I loved the SR009 withe the BHSE at CAF, but unfortunately I don't quite have the budget for that.

good timing! The HeadAmp gear is on its way from the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest to the San Diego head-fi meet...which is also on November 1, where Peter will be representing HeadAmp again.
 
I plan to attending the D.C. meet myself as it is just a 2 hour drive, but i will need to put together a backup set of gear. Would rather not unwrap a brand new pair of SR-009, but i do have an open box pair of SR-507 and also a SR-404 Limited Edition

Wow, good timing indeed. That'd be awesome.  Much appreciated!

Yeah a t2 clone would be amazing. I think even a clone would be too pricey for me now though

@BarryS, have you gotten a shipping notification for your Raggy? Apparently they're starting to trickle in.

No notification yet, but I'm traveling, so I asked them to hold shipment, so the amp wouldn't arrive before I get home. It would be great if it gets delivered the day I return.

Ah, that would be a good idea, having an amp sitting on the proch in a cardboard box is never a good idea, expecially with the crap weather we've been having recently.

 

[zachchen1996]

Any of y'all going to bring any portable audio gear?
DAPs? Portable Amps?

 

[splandifers]

Total audio noob here... This will be my first meet (hopefully, I should be able to make it). How does everything work? - Does it matter if I don't have anything particularly high-end? 
 
If I do make it, I'll be bringing (from my very limited selection/budget setup):
Beyerdynamic DT-880 600ohms Balanced (4-pin Male XLR termination)
LP-2020A+ Tripath Amp (used with DT-880s via 4-pin female XLR to speaker wire output)
TTPOD T1-E 
XiaoMi Pistons II 
 
and hopefully my 4-pin XLR to 1/4" interconnect will be here by then...
