Or there going to be any Vendor samples at this meet?


I think I can get the Ether ES Prototype again. I guess this is why I posted three months ahead, so that you guys can get a heads up on asking vendors for demo equipment. If you want, you can ask the vendors if they can visit our meet, though I can only reserve on or two tables for them, and I will only admit one vendor to show up, as this meeting room is smaller (2/3 of the last meeting room, according to max. capacity ratings).

I think this is also a time to tell you guys that if you want a CanJam in Houston, ask Ethan about it, or third_eye.

I think you should ask for the Aeon instead of the Ether ES.  Also the Spark from our neighbor Cavalli.

I will see about the aeon, and I will need a consensus for the Cavalli Spark. Personally, I preferred the Carbon over the Spark, but the Carbon is no longer in production. Really, you need a treble-soft over-ear/on-ear/in-ear/earbud to match perfectly with the Cavalli Spark.

Worth on the street is that the Carbon sounds like poop.  It's listed as full discreet, but yet has opamps in it.  False advertising and way overpriced at 800 bucks.  That power supply is just sad man.

For what it's "worth" on the street? :cool:

I only made a comparison between the Cavalli Carbon and the Cavalli Spark. The Carbon was not on my recommended list, though I did find it very intriguing.

This was you last year, right? :p



Oh yeah, if people have nice cameras, bring those as well, because our meeting room will look nice...or stylish at least. Plus, the Beck's Prime outdoor patio next to the meeting room, too. :cool:

I'll bring my camera this time around.  And I really want to listen to that TH-X00 purpleheart and dragonfly red.

BTW, I'll will also have the Burson Cable+.  


Burson Cable+ added to the list. For you and VRacer-111, make sure you have lenses for outdoor shots as well. We will be using the outdoor patio behind Beck's Prime. :)
