Heh finished this goofiness temporarily for now...
 

 
Sadly I'll not be wiring up anything but the 4 pin xlr output for the time being.  Also it is likely going to be cased up in a cheap ass lunch tin for now heh.

Hey,
 
I might be too out there to ask, but I didn't see on the list (maybe missed it) but was curious if anyone was going to bring either Grados sr60, sr80 or Sennheiser hd 595? I have been interested in these so was wondering. I'm really excited for it so thanks for all who got this together!

 

[mralexosborn]

You are assuming we have budgets? Haha. 
Yeah, I don't see those on the list either. If anyone has one please, bring it. No other equipment necessary since the room will be full.

 

[scompton]

I've never been to a meet without plenty of Grados.  Usually someone shows up with an SR60 or SR80 who owns nothing else.

Hey, I maybe purchasing a Marantz 2220B this week, is anybody interested in listening to it? I understand we have limited room so I thought I would see if there was any interest first.

 

[scompton]

I've always been interested in hearing one, but I'm not sure there will be room.  That's one of the reasons I think I'll leave my Lambda at home.  If I do bring it, I'll leave it in my car until I see if there's room for it.

 

[mralexosborn]

There better be at least one Lambda at the meet, just saying. But I won't have the luxury of leaving it in the car for later.

Any chance someone could bring a OPPO bdp 95?  I may be able to bring a 93 to compare  to see if it's worth the 100% cost increase.

 

[mralexosborn]

According to Oppo the BDP-95 won't be out until March. 

 

[tme110]

No there's quite a few people who have them - they started shipping this month to people who signed up for early release.  They go on sale everywhere else next month.
 
I just got the 93 about  30 minutes ago and I think I'm going to move up to the 95 - depending of if the DAC sounds as good as it should.

90% sure I can be there on Sunday, and would probably bring the following:
 
Ultrasone Edition 8
beyerdynamic A1
Sony SCD-XA5400ES

Hahaha nice - we all end up on the slow but irresistible path to $1000+ headphones, huh?
 

 

[mralexosborn]

If anyone want to bring light refreshments/snacks you are welcome to do so. Also, I think it is a given that if you choose to do so stay away from others gear. No wants cookie crumb tainted drivers. 
 
Also please, of course, wash you hair, clean your ears, and smell like nothing when you come to the meet. I don't think this will be a problem but you never know.
