Whoa, that's pretty awesome of the Gramaphone. I've been meaning to drop by there sometime, and now I know I definitely have to go. That discount's not too shabby either. I may have to buy something.

And I'm a second year MecE student, although right now I'm still getting caught up on some first year courses...

Oh, and I'll probably be able to bring a Sony D-NE330 PCDP (or a pair of PX100's; depends what I decide to do with my gift certificate), and I figure I'll bring my better 'buds and my modded E2c's (as long as you can furnish your own tips - I'm a little squeamish about sharing my own) if anyone's interested. I've got an ailing MD player that I could bring, too.

EDIT: I see d_w31 already has that CD player.

What do you think of it?

I like the CD player, the Atrac3plus codec is quite useful if I needed to fit a lot of songs on one CD. It has become my headphone burn-in source lately though (since I got an AC adaptor for it).

The large-ish display is nice too, but I'm not that big a fan of the remote, haven't really used it cuz I find it heavy and a hassle to clip it to my shirt.

All in all it's worth the 60 bucks I paid for it

I have some spare tips from my lost er6i, if anyone absolutely needs to hear the e2's. Hopefully someone will bring some wetnaps or some kinda disinffectant though..

 

[Trippytiger]

Well, I've got a half-litre bottle of 99% isopropyl alcohol that I can bring if there's a need for disinfectants. That should be enough to take care of anything.

 

[d_w31]

since so many of us have e2s, I was wondering how much did everyone pay for them? I paid 120 CAD for mine which I thought was an expensive price point =(

 

[Trippytiger]

Well, mine were a Christmas present, so the cost to me was, of course, $0. I suspect that they came from Best Buy, though, and at the time they were going for $130.

It certainly is a little on the pricey side for what they are.

 

[d_w31]

haha you are pretty lucky! man I actually had to save up for a while for them

 

[joneeboi]

My E2s cost me $70. Muaha.

Right, everyone bring your digital cameras. There are few things worse in this world than having a head-fi meet without pictures to show. Plus I had an idea of maybe bringing my camcorder and we could YouTube some clips of the meet. Yay? Nay? Either way, I may eat some hay; what do you say? </Happy Gilmore>. I think I'll do that. Nice. Perhaps this can be a trend.

 

[devin_mm]

The camcorder idea sounds like a good idea. I think I'm going to bring my 4G iPod (not modded... yet) as well so I'll have two stations going.

 

[devin_mm]

Anyway as far as dates go if we can't do it on the weekend a Tuesday or Wednesday would be the best for me because unlike all of you people who go to the U of A I go to NAIT where we don't get a break in November (to the best of my knowledge anyway).

I just got my Imoded IPOD from a fellow here today,It sounds as said,awesome.
you can have a try then

I also invited a non-head-fi-member friend to come. I brought him along to a visit to The Gramaphone once. We all got around to chatting, and Wolfgang, the other dude with the long hair that helped me out whenever I visited and brought up the idea of having the meet there, even offered him a job there. He's relatively new to the hobby, but I think I was able to recruit him

Anyway he'll bring some Shure E3s and his MPIO mp3 player.

Looks like we're going to have a good turnout for headphones and sources.

 

[d_w31]

lol nice idea about camcorder jon, I will bringing my digital camera for sure. It is good for some decent photos for sure

 

[Trippytiger]

I'll be sure to bring mine too. It's got a very decent video mode (640*480 at 30fps), as well, in case we need a backup.

My no-go days have changed to include Nov.14 (can't do Nov.10 - Nov. 14) as well. So, I will have to be crossed off the list for now depending on what time it's held at. I won't be getting back into town until the evening of the 14th.
