Oh man! I'll be there!

 

[Listens2tubes]

I'll have my HD600's with Cardas rewire and Grado SR125's. I just made up a new 5' cable with Cardas pins and Furutaech 1/4" plug. I'll bring my 10' Cardas cable with gold mini/ 1/4" adapter for anyone wishing to try Cardas with Senns.

I would be very obliged if you "carted" along your HP-2's, personally.

Pumped for the meet, guys!

I have posted 1/1000th of your total which matches the ratio of headphone stuff owned.


Are you binging a TT? I'll bring LP's.

Im very tempted now. argh. Someone else is bringing theirs.

I am bringing 2 phono stages for him to try: Bottlehead seduction tube and my "passive RIAA" opamp based phono stage.

 

[malldian]

I will bring some LP's as well.


Will people be bring gear to the meet to sell?

 

[grandenigma1]

In support of the limited space I plan to bring nothing but myself and perhaps my laptop so I can steal some music if I happen to find something I like.

 

[malldian]

Yeah take the tuner and CDP off my list.

But you are signed up for a Pico ... it takes no room at all. Ya gotta bring that!! I have been planning for weeks a blind Pico vs iQube vs Predator test. They have all been reviewed together here before, but no blind test panels with JERSEY EARS. I figure you just turn your back and we move the mini-to-mini cable among the amps after an initial run to match the volumes.

We record all the preferences, correlate by type of music and cans.

We do this as a series of paired A/B tests and balance the combinations (which two, which order) ... you can also measure the consistency and expertise of listeners this way. Food industry does this type of testing all the time. (Hey, I'm a statistician by training and know how to do this ... or I did 20 years ago anyway, and can re-learn!).

Pico please!

grbwitt aka George Witterschein is in for E Hanover/NJ on July 26.

I was working with the hotel meeting planner today and she is trying to arrange nine 6-foot tables, which would give 25 people 2' 2" each of linear space, and 18" (at least) of depth. Plus, I don't think all 25 people are bringing gear (some are guests).

This is about what people had at CanJam '08, so if components stack you're fine.

On top of that we can time-share, shuffle, etc. Unless it's really huge maybe you can bring the CDP ... did you say it was modded? It's all about the DAC, isn't it, and listening would be cool. And if it has digital out then we can run the s/pdif thru other DACs for fun ... if we had a coax or optical converter to USB (these exist, I don't have one ... everyone usually wants to go the other way) we could even try the DACs in the Pico or Predator.

 

[malldian]

It is on the project list, scratch the tuner for sure because I don't feel like cleaning it but I will try to have the CDP modded by then.

Also, we will be collecting money for the krmathis b22 build everyone. Check it out in the DIY forum.

 

[nikongod]

On further thought, my rig might take up less table-space if I bring the TT. ARGH, I hate these difficult decisions. I have the DIY not so wobbly wobbler rack & Igor inspired suspension.

I'l bring the turntable if i can park next to someone with a CD player.

 

[MD1032]

I'm sure there will be room for a vinyl rig, don't worry.

If I could have one more request I'd say anyone with a Headamp Pico, go ahead and bring that, as I'd love to compare it to the Predator, and hear it for the first time!
