I can bring: HD580 PX200 SR225 (ordered them today, yay!)

That would be great!!! I will add you to the list with all your equip.
Nice to see one more grado coming!

You are so evil!!! If you would come there would be 3 grados here...I would like to hear them

 

[BigJohn]

I wouldn't mind to come.
Especially if I could combine it with a trip to the town, but I don't know...
I've spend way to much money the last couple of weeks, and need to spend a lot more the coming weeks...
Maybe at the last moment I decide to come, if you still want me there then...
I'm sure you'll have a good time without me, since I'm a somewhat lesser headfi nut than most of you

I can imagine with the new house and stuff. There will be a spot left open for you anyways, even if you decide to come at the last moment. Good time without you and better time with you and the grado

! We shall see...

 

[BigJohn]

You are too kind

Well, I am thinking about a portable for obvious reasons. I am considering the portable electrostat, but I'm not sure yet. Since I already have a portable amp for dynamic cans I think it would be smarter to just buy some dynamics instead of electrostats.

And if I want a dynamic portable rig I don't know what I want to buy yet.

 

[digitalmind]

Howsabout K1000's?

I don't know, portable electrostats.... isn't the only portable electrostat the little semi in-ear Stax? If I needed a portable rig again, I'd immediatly pick up a pair of Shure E4c's. I had them for a year, after which I stopped using public transport so I sold them. Liked the a lot. The only way to survive rushhour in a train.

For as far as I know the Stax is the only one indeed. That's why I said " I am considering the portable electrostat...."

Dynamic would most likely be a lot better though. More options anyway and a better isolation. If I am going for dynamic I am thinking about something like the HD-25-1. My in-ears broke - I don't even know how many times.

Now, that is not even funny. Considering there are people walking around with those.

From what I've heard, that Stax is extremely uncomfortable.

I've brought my K1000's with me to work multiple times now, but haven't worn it on the way there. Wondering what kind of comments I'll get if I do try them outdoors (not that I have an adequate battery powered amp).

It's not that uncomfortable, but it is not a Beyer for sure. And it sure does sound good.

Anyways, I am more of a headphone person than a IEM person.

This looks pretty good as well. And maybe, maybe I am going to be stupid and buy Ultrasones.
