I think I can make it, but I have to check. Also It would nice to go to spain as I have never been there. I can go from Stansted as it is close to me. Well 2 hrs away from me.

Wow! You guys rock!! Looks like we might be having a Euro-meeting!!!

I'll get us a nice apartment overlooking the sea with a big terrace outside so we can barbeque and sip beers and listen to our hearts' content. Relaxing in a chair, watching the sun set over Africa whilst listening to your favourite music can't be a bad.

And it's gonna be a Head-fi slumber party, since we all have to trek to get there. I'll bring the make-up and the mud face masks! Can we watch romantic movies and cry as we paint our nails?

This looks to be great fun. If we have a source problem, perhaps we can rig up a computer with multiple soundcards to do the trick.

LOL: See if this post sticks. We'll organise sources..

I will be Just out side Malaga (Cartama) visiting the folks end of January, if you can do it then would come. Got free tickets off BMI Baby few months back, cant get cheaper then that.

If I am able to make it what equipment should I bring? Maybe we could plan an equipment list on who is bringing what. That might help I don't know.

Dudes makeup and romantic movies????? Yuk pass the sick bag. Personally I prefer when harry met sally.....as if. JOKE

Actually I prefer to meet the people as I have heard a lots of amps and headphones. So this would give me a break and also great people to meet.

Captain, either way you could keep in contact with me and we could have a mini-meet!!

I was joking about the slumber party, yeesh.

I ment that most of us will be sleeping there, because we're not from Spain and are too broke from buying equipment to afford hotel rooms. Make-up and face masks and such are what girls do at slumber parties. It was a joke.

And I know I'm the only girl there, but unless anyone plans to walk around nakedly after they wake-up or something, I'm not so delicate as to need my own space seperate from everyone else. If space is an issue, just consider me one of the guys. I'm not a girly-girl type.

Now then, onto gear.

Depending on what's needed, I'll bring porta corda II, 4g ipod, and either the Perreaux sxh-1, or Corda HA-2 (maybe Jan could send us some samples from the Corda line-up?), but I don't feel comfortable lugging my Nad C542 all over Europe. At least either amp will fit in a bag. I'll bring my IC's as I think they're worth testing, and any headphones I have that are needed. I'll put off selling the ms-1's, but doesn't boodi have the dt531s? If they're needed I'll bring the Senn 600s with Oehlbach cable, and I may be persuaded to stall selling the HD595's if they're needed. The same for the ety er4p and s adapter, and er6-i. I also have the dt770s if they're needed.

Other stuff I could bring would be the Philips HS900s, koss ksc-35s, and Audio technica FC7.

I should also have my 12" ibook by then, with some kind of usb sound card, which I'll bring.

European head-fi meet...sounds good to me

So what are the possible places to hold it or did we already decide on one?

 

[cosmopragma]

My computer is screwed, or head-fi is screwed .... or something.
I have several emails due to posts here, and in these emails other posts are mentioned, but when I visit this thread all that already vanished.
What's that?
A mod in bad mood or what?
However, I just looked for cheap tickets in February, and there's not much available, it depends on the exact date.
Carrying equipment around makes me a bit nervous, there's a limit in weight and space.
I've lost suitcases on flights before.I'd prefer to keep my stuff in a small bag which I can store on board.The Benchmark DAC, Prehead and a few cans would be no problem, but a properly packaged Stax rig would be probably too bulky, same for a CDP.

Well, we're already further down the line on this one..

So far, dates are between 17th and 28th of Feb and the place looks to be Marbella, Spain. I'm going to organise a very cool apartment with a big terrace overlooking the sea which will be just for this use. I'll get one around 100 m sq so there'll be a ton of space and we can barbeque on the terrace. They'll be plenty of space for folks to crash, I promise and in relative comfort, too...

That's about how far we've got on this one...

 

[plainsong]

We also decided that the first person who falls asleep gets their hand in lukewarm water..

 

[saint.panda]

Hey, actually that date works pretty good for me (winter break

). I'll just check on how much a ticket is gonna be.

I'm not quite sure yet of what I'll bring because I'm planning on getting a nice tube amp (maybe SP, Eartube, diy, whatever). So I can only be sure of the HD 650 (maybe with an upgraded custom cable by then) and my modded Marantz (whose performance is rather indirect proportional to its ugly apperance...), and maybe some canalphones. And my Philips AZ6831 if it isn't sold by then and some ICs.

Sounds awesome! I'll make sure to bring a soccer ball.
