<<gearlist on bottom of this post>>


Its official

Day/time:
Saturday, July 31, 2004. Starts at 11am and ends at 5pm.
(actually we can stay as long as we want, they are open till 5am on saturday..lol)


place:
toc


Rules:
Anybody is invited, of course any age can come since the meeting is downstairs and private from the public, you can drink alcoholic drinks but you will have to go upstairs and order them from the bar. If you are under 21 you are asked not to hang around upstairs, My mom should be bartending upstairs anyway.

description of the hall:
ray seen the hall himself maybe he can give a good idea of what it looks like, (its hard for me to think of it cause I have been there since I was a baby)
but their are plenty of tables and chairs and there of course is plenty room to have the gear setup so that you can listen and listen and listen without distraction. there are plenty of outlets but they are probably only on 2 or 3 circuits....this shouldn't be a problem this is a bar downstairs, since there is no liquor stocked there we can setup on the bar if you want to .....lol my espresso maker will be behind the bar, of course their is a separate food table to (I will visit a pizza place I know the owner of to see if I can swing some free food for us). pop and soda I don't think will be a problem, and knowing my dad and how giving he is hell probably make the beers free to...lol but well see about that.
also the basement has air conditioning and will be plenty cold before you all arrive, there also is separate boys/girls bathrooms so if you want to really listen to a setup in private then just sit on a toilet....lol

is this a mini or a full blown meet?
I say we just see what's people want to do, I will bring in equipment or ask others if anyone wants to hear something, like I said before as long as three people show up I'm happy....

What I would really like in this meet:
the most important part is that everyone has the time and space to hear what they want,,,,,of course
we all have fun
we get a nice caffeine rush and then listen to the gear....lol j/k
Seriously I would love to sit down and talk with everyone about the DIY, as how to get into it how to start blah blah blah..

and please note that no one here has to be worried about the meeting in the basement of a lounge, its legal.. and safe.

so reply away.....go now reply....lol
any questions? feel free to ask, and of course any ideas feel free

thank you all

Ok,

I'm there and I should have all my gear in place by then. I'm sure you won't have too much of problem with attendance being that it's in a bar. I called to check the city oridances concerning attendance of this meet by minors and we are cool as long as the younger folks don't have to walk through the bar except to get to and from the meeting room. There can be no "dispensed alcoholic beverages" in the meeting area and all drinking has to take place in the bar area only. That's the law and I'm sure Billy's parents already know it well.

This should be a fun meet and maybe we can get some of the DIY guys who attended the last Milwaukee meet to attend.

As long as the intern program I'll be working at in Milwaukee doesn't have anything planned for us that weekend then you can count me in. I'm new to the headphones scene so I don't have much to bring to the table but I've been a music lover for a long time and enjoy hanging out with other music lovers and I can't ever pass up a chance to check out other people's way cool toys. Besides, it gives me an excuse to get over to Chicago and maybe watch the cubbies play Philadelphia the following day.

This summer is looking better every minute.

[nismo96]

I'm looking forward to the meet. I can't wait to hear more new gear.

 

[bhd812]

Update..........

well as far as gear is coming I would like you all to start replying with if your coming and if you want any thing speacil there.

I am trying to get a starbucks girl to work it....lol hey I wanna enjoy the meet to..lol

 

[Eagle_Driver]

I may make it to this meet. However, I will be carrying much less equipment than I did the previous three meets that I attended.

My equipment list for this meet will be (if I make it to the meet):

1. Sources:
2. iRiver iMP-350 SlimX PCDP
3. Sony D-NE300 PCDP
   
   Headphones:
4. Grado SR-60 or SR-225
5. Koss PortaPro
6. Sennheiser PX100
   
   Amp:
7. Grado RA-1

Most of the comparisons will be done unamped. But an amp will be used to compare the sound quality of the two players under equal circumstances.

 

[bhd812]

sounds great I am trying to sell my brother on some grado's, he mostly listens to hardrock so your 225's will be much thanked

Which headphones is he listening to at the present? Stock freebie headphones? Sony V-Flop?

 

[bhd812]

rite now he is listening to some cheapo old sonys, he says they are atleast 5years old, but he relly likes music and always listens to mine.

 

[elrod-tom]

It's highly likely that I'll be able to make it. Don't know how much gear I'll be able to bring, but I'll likely be able to bring something. Thanks for doing this.

 

[Hajime]

I'm pretty sure I can make it to this meet, depending on summer school and visiting friends. I want some expressos.

I'd be glad to help pay for the pizzas if you'd like. If you need any help setting up or anything let me know; if I can I'll help.

 

[Eagle_Driver]

Also, if I do make it, I may also bring a few big, "easy-to-drive" headphones (brands and models yet to be determined) for comparison purposes.

 

[bhd812]

thank you and please pass the note out, if im paying a starbucks girl to work and we have this sized room might as well use it.


oh I just got ps-1's in so theyll be there.


keep the replys coming, is there any gear you guys want?
