Hey guys!

audiorapture has kindly offered to give me a ride. Is there room for one more ?

I'm 99% sure I'll be able to attend at this time.

I'm willing to bring any gear that you see in my profile.

jp,

please do not let it be true that you will be at the meet. i do not think your ears are ready for pirme time gear. oh well, a perfectly good meet down the tubes.

Now now Steve, the j-man is more than ready for prime time gear...after all, if he doesn't buy it, how else will people with discerning taste get to buy it off him second-hand at a discount.

I'm also building some small floor standing singledrivers which I plan drive from the bindings on my singlepower amp (which is being outfitted with an outboard power supply with 14 amp transformers so it can drive 6528s ) if anyone would like to hear them at the meet (or just borrow them ). They should be finished by the meet. Let me know if you're interested.

Bernie, does it look like yer gear will be in attendance? i'm looking fwd to it.

hmmm, mebbe i'll bring my k340s so we can do a repeat of the ny demo so folks can see the differences between stock and modded, and single ended vs balanced. the latter seems to do far more for the phone than the former.

When I broached the topic tonight with my wife she kindly (or not so much) reminded me that we would be celebrating our wedding anniversary that weekend. More importantly she reminded me that the celebrating of said anniversary would not be including headphones of any kind. Sonofa!

i don't see the problem here Nate. what kind of celebration would it be if it didn't include headphones? bring her to the meet - what better way to celebrate yer anniversary?

I would like to try that again.

I wounder if Hirsch or Mikhail might bring a set of ballanced R10s so we can hear the best of the best.

Do you guys think we could get Jude or ? to send one of the Grado Prototype GS 1000 to the meet? as they were my favorite headphone at the NY meet. I would love to give them another try.

Sorry I haven't updated the thread in awhile...things have been a little crazy.

Anyway. I just got an e-mail from Headroom and there's a big 'ole box of Headroom gear coming...including a Balanced Max! Sweetness.

I'll post more/update later tonight.

 

[fierce_freak]

That's awesome! A balanced K701 wouldn't happen to be in there, would it? I'd love to hear that (in addition to some of the other cans that will be there).

I may also have a diy DAC I'm building done in time for the meet. It's an Opus DAC from TwistedPearAudio.com...I'll be running two DAC boards in dual differential mode.

No one has come forward saying that they are bringing one yet, but you never know. I can see if Headroom has one they can lend us.

Anyone bringing a balanced K701?

? would be bozebuttons. you could drop Tom a msg and see if he's up for it. i don't think that he was planning on attending but it can't hurt to ask.

Great, I'm looking forward to it...I'll bring some toys.

Ok some updates:

1) No one has come forth with any gear for the silent auction. We need some stuff....it doesn't have to be awesome...it can be funny too, bad vinyl albums, good vinyl, CDs, old Interconnects, little portable amps....whatever man, anything will help.....otherwise I'll need to pass a larger hat.....so cough up the goods!

2) Hirsch has graciously offered to bring a tube tester to the meet. So if you want to test your tubes or match them.....etc. Hirsch and I will be running a tube testing spot for some of the meet. If you have a lot of tubes or just a little, PM me so I can get a feel for how much time we can budget for this....we want to hear some stuff too y'know. Thanks Hirsch!

3) Headroom gear is coming so that's good....but hold on to your overpriced power cords kiddies! I've secured a demo unit of....drumroll please........an EMM Labs CDSA CD/SACD Player. That's right, the new one box Meitner player will be there in full posse 'n effect. So bring your highest end amps to hear this bad boy. I'm stoked now.....really stoked.

4) The BBQ. I'm getting stuff together for this...I'll supply Hot dogs, burgers, some soda, beer (only for those who are allowed), and maybe some corn on the cob. Things that we could use: Chips, dip, salad, either regular or noodle.....or anything else you want. So those people coming please PM me and let me know what you'd like to bring. If you're coming to the BBQ I really need to know soon.....like my this Sunday July 8th so I can plan and get the stuff together.

5) The Brickskellar: I know it's a lot of planning, but if I could get a headcount for those people wanting to come. We can stash gear at my place or in hotel rooms if needed (and if it's ok with the folks how have secured their own hotel rooms). I can drive some folks down....i think it would easier if we drove down to the brickskellar since that way we can keep together. I'll have directions printed out on Saturday. So let me know if :

a) you're coming
b) you can drive and how many people (less yourself) you can take in your car.


That's it for now.....whew....just a week away. i'm excited...some good gear coming to the meet.
