Wow...I don't even know how to start this off
..well...here goes:
THANKS EVERYONE FOR ONE OF THE BEST TIMES..so much fun, I really had a great time. Time just flies too quickly
I will do my best to try and match your faces with your nicknames (sorry if I forget anyone!!)
Philodox - Thanks for use of your condo, you got a great place so nice, clean, organized..Simply perfect
Your K340's are amazing (I will pm you tonight or tomorrow about cables/phones)!!! I'm glad that I now own your old pair
, can't wait for you to get all of your stuff together (new amp, modded E-Sound, etc.)
Omendelovitz - Great guy, 2.5+ hours of great conversation in the car..thnx for all the advice! Good luck in your quest for the ultimate home and portable setup!!! We must catch up and do a mini-meet sometime (I also extend this offer to any other head-fiers in Ont).
Red Leader- Your Fostex headphones were nice to see (they outclass alot of people..in AGE =P..great cans though hehe)
Grey Horse - CD3000s were IMPRESSIVE (from the 2 mins i spent with them..really sounds like a can I want to look into for sure)
Rhydon - Your setup is to die for, i'm glad you've finally found the ultimate synergy (headphones, cables, amp, dac, source.) Thanks for your advice on the P3A + Power Supply..When I get more $$$ =P
Looser101 - HF-1 HF-1 HF-1 too fun!!! Holy I hope they took pics of me boogying down to James Brown with these on. I love your amp too, once you get it into a bigger case with syncs I can see it being a hit
Thanks so much for your advice and knowledge, always appreciated.
Aerius - Me and you combine to form.."THE SAUNA" (DYNAHI + YOUR TUBE AMP) Your amp sounds great, and k340's never sounded better out of it! Glad you were able to refine it to taylor to these cans.
Feens - Your 595 was great, I liked how it was almost the 'middle ground' between Senns and Grado's. Thanks for usage of these cans, great talking with you.
Asmo - Thanks for usage of your MIX CD, your 580s sounded good too. I will get back to you in regards to 280 pros..I'll pm you tonight/tomorrow about 280 pros.
Big Bad Wolf - Your a great guy!!!! Was amazing meeting you..sucks that we both have to work tomorrow
Glad you brought what you did (mp3 player, etc)
I hope im not forgetting anyone!!! If so, i'm sorry!!!
Ok Ok Ok Ok...Cans impressions now (cans that I somewhat listened to enough to make impressions on)
HF-1 - TOO FUN, must own a pair one day! Bass is to die for..I found these cans very relaxing and engaging at the same time. It's one of these relationships with headphones where..you just put them on..and SMILE because the music is so beautifully reproduced in the HF-1 way
SA-5000 - My impressions haven't changed too much. I like them for certain genre's; great treble extension, and detail detail detail. I don't find them harsh, but maybe lacking a bit in the lower end.
HD-580 - Liked it, for the price you really get almost every buck's worth. I prefer these to my 280 pros..very nice
HD-595 - Much of the same with the 580's but greater treble extension..Bass was nice too. They seem kinda balanced to me (not sure if this technically correct or not..or from a Grado vs Senn perspective)
280 Pro - My first cans...Outclassed by so many headphones though! They are great for what they are (decent isolation
K340 - Loved this can. The Bass texture is to die for, imaging is great, and they are very fun, but so picky when it comes to amps too
My dynahi just barely has enough gain to drive them haha, might have to get it increased.
HP-2 - Music sounded so realistic on this can; effortlessness is the way i'd describe this can..almost like a live concert in your living room. Very refined in every aspect. Was a pleasure!
SR-125 - Great can, amazing bang for buck. Not as fun as the HF-1 but I noticed there was better treble extension and these are very good for what they are!!!
Ok Ok Ok Ok..Now on to the cables
I will be very general in my observations: TODAY I DISCOVERED THAT CABLES DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, A HUGE DIFFERENCE THAT I NEVER THOUGHT WOULD'VE EXISTED TO THIS LEVEL!!
So far I'm loving the silver raincoats with my system =) soundstage and detail are amazing. I must spend more time with the coppers though.
Ok Ok Ok Ok..Now on to the amps
PPX SLAM: This amp took the hp2 and disc to a whole other world. Tone was superb! Timbre, PRAT, dynamics, everything. Very refined!!! I love it (I would consider buying this on top of my dynahi =P)
Dynahi: 1/2 of THE SAUNA!! I really am glad that I purcahsed this amp, suits my tastes. Although many call it sterile, I find it brings out the warmth into any track that has that type of sound. IMO, the DYNAHI is the SA5k of amps in the sense that it reveals the window into your system (its not treble heavy IMO) and lets you hear your source. I found PRATand treble extension a bit better than the PPX (though this is vague because it can very depending on tubes used). The PPX is king of mids though! Loved both amps..and both don't really sound THAT much different from one another, nothing night and day, just subtleties.
Renato's amp: THE MINI SAUNA, it drove the hf-1's beautifully. Once you get it rebuilt I'll definately buy one of these.
I will conclude by saying this..
Great times, thanks again everyone, let me know where (i will host if necessary) and when the next meet is!!
PS: Ty to jjcha for use of SA-5000 for the meet
