Melbourne, Australia meet - Any interest?

[robzy]

Thanks for PMing the original started of this thread that it had been revived

Good to see that Melbourne head-fi'ers (or Victorian should i say?) will get a chance to meet up and check out each others gear!

Anyways, in case it isn't obvious, I'm in!

(Just out of interest, will anyone have HD600/HD650 there? I am contemplating it, and if someone does have them there it would be a good time to audition - and if not it would be an alright excuse for me to purchase them )
[edit]: Just read Bosch's sig, great

[edit2]: Eeep, i hate to ask, but - how badly does it need to be the 5/6th of November? That is unfortunately right in between my two very large maths exams and is a touch of a problem for me.

Rob.

WOW a melbourne meet. I really wanna go to this. I'm a head-fi newbie and only just acquired an E4C and play through my iAudio M3, thank god i didnt get an iPod LOL. I'm really interested in this and particulary interested in trying Bosch's sr325i's

Initially i was just aiming to buy an MS-1's now i'm holding off for these, the great things that head-fi does to crazy people like us *insert sarcasm* LOL. By the way i'm living in the western part of melbourne, around which area is this meet going to be??

 

[DaKi][er]

Yea, what suburb you from Bosch? Just for an idea of where we'll be going

I dont see myself getting any new gear anything soon exept maybe a cheap CD player to feed my newly finished long time in the making DAC, so what is listed in my sig is what I'll have

I know a guy in Hepburn that has a pair, he is on my MSN but for some reason I havent seen him online in a while

i want to hear them too.

 

[robzy]

Bosch has a "HD650 + Zu, HD600 + Cardas" so we should be right in the HD6xx department

Rob.

 

[Jazper]

ok, something has come to light and I might not be able to make the 5th.. depending on how this week pans out - will keep you all posted.

 

[Bosch]

Back in Melbourne...just quickly:

Date: I picked November 5th because on the previous weekend it's my girlfriend's birthday, and on the following weekend I have to attend a wedding on the Saturday, otherwise I'm flexible. Since a few people have clashes, how about Nov 19th? We'll make a decision on this by Friday...please chip in yay or nay. I'll create a new thread and maintain (a) the confirmed attendees and (b) the equipment list.

robzy: glad someone got in contact, heh heh. Thanks to the mystery PMer.

Senns: yes I have both Senns, fully run-in.

Location: without being too specific, I am on the east side of Melbourne, about half an hour drive or 20kms from the CBD.

 

[Jazper]

right.. I'm available again

 

[Enverxis]

Me too.

Eep, in actual fact that was just me being sarcastic. But the "

" at the end meant that i was just kidding, and its my own fault i didn't check my own thread

Aaannnyywwaaayysss... the 5th of November is not the best for me due to the exams i have at that time. I would be able to make it - but i would prefer to see it happening on a different date.

But really, I'm easy either way, ill follow the crowed

Rob.

 

[Enverxis]

go the 19th!

 

[Bosch]

OK...the current date options for the meet are:

(1) Saturday November 5th - robzy can't make it, others can.

(2) Saturday November 12th - Boschy has to attend a wedding. I can do Sunday 13th, though.

(3) Saturday November 19th - Enverxis is fine with this. Given that one person cannot make the 5th, how about this date for everyone?

 

[Jazper]

sounds good to me

 

[robzy]

As long as its no hassle for anyone that would be good. Also gives me plenty of time to have an extra peice of equiptment or two.

Rob.

 

[Bosch]

Sounds like Saturday November 19th at 1:00pm is OK for the Melbourne meet...woohoo!!

Instead of creating a new thread, I'll just maintain the details here. Please pass on your info via a post, in PM, or to me directly via e-mail. I will also create an e-mail group on my PC for circulating personal details like the address and so on.
