OK, I finally got schedule things worked out and I'm coming. That means, most likely:

Cans: Senn HD595 (120ohm), HD555 (50ohm), HD280, PXC 250, HD497, PX200; Audio-Technica ATH-A700; Koss KSC-35, KSC-55.

Amps: Headroom Desktop with Home module and Home DAC; Headsave Classic (1st gen) with OPA627; a PIMETA with AD86x0; Xin SuperMicro v6.

Sources: Probably a PowerBook with a Sonica and an Airport Express; 3rd gen iPod. Maybe a CDP if I'm feeling ambitious.

Anybody bringing a Benchmark DAC1? I'd really like to hear one...

SunByrne: I added all of your gear.

On side not we have another pair of HF-1's coming.

K701's no longer coming sadly.

So no one else wants to join us?

So what "dream" headphone will replace them?

Hell or high water, I'm going. I will be out of town for buisiness until the 6th. Which mean an early Saturday five hour drive for me. So please excuse my early absence. Would showing up around twelveish be okay?

You can add a Larocco Audio Headcode Dm to the list for all that didn't hear at the last DFW meet.

The L3000's are on their way!

I was hoping to have my recabled DT880's by then, but it's not going to happen

Meier can only do standard post which takes two weeks, and they're not being sent to me (getting recabled first). Oh well, looking forward to hearing all the gear.

Well I might as well say that since I fixed the L3000 driver I also transplatened them into a pair of Aiwa headphones until I get my custom headphone done. They will also be joining us for the meet. I will call them the AK3000

da_burl, if you're serious about the modding, i'd appreciate any help i could get with my KSC75s. theres a faulty contact in the right driver and being that they're 20 dollar headphones, i'm too lazy to send them back for repair.

I will take a look at them at the meet if you want.

Sorry to bring up questions on the IEM's then drop out of the conversation. I'm switching over my home Internet service to fiber and I only have access at work for right now...

I really wasn't sure what the protocol might be for trying out an IEM that belongs to someone else. Since several pairs are on the gear list I assumed it was normal to try them though. I was just thinking foamies for sanitary reasons, since they are cheap enough to just throw away when you are done.

Anyway, a pair of IEM's is at the top of my list right now so I'm hoping this will help with the decision on sound quality even if the foamies won't really help me judge comfort. If any of you guys bringing a pair would rather not lend them out, I won't be offended in any way though.

Hey I'll bring some of my stuff too. I just realized I live very close to the library, I drive by it every day on my drive to work! Probably would be 10 min. except for the "Highway 121 project"

Equipment update (after all, it was Xmas)

HD 595's
Ety 6i's
IRiver H120

Probably be making up some interconnects when my silver coated teflon from ebay and techflex from Parts Express comes in.

I had one thought, maybe Alex is way ahead of me on this one, but if people could throw in a power strip or two to their collection that would probably come in handy! I'll bring in a couple.

Yea I was planning on bringing a few.
