Based on the equipment list so far, this is really shaping up to be a great meet.

[SLCentral]

I'd really love to make it, but that's an hour and a half drive

. If I do, I'll bring my UE-5c's, which are custom fit, which won't do much good

, as well as a pair of Super.fi 5 pros. Not much, but hey, I've never been to a meet before!

I'll try to make it, but don't count on it.

It took us three hours to get to the last NY meet and it was worth every hour. Whats an hour and a half drive to attend your first Headfi meet??? If you don't go, you're only going to see the photos and read the impressions and really wish you had gone. So go ahead.....take the plunge!!!

 

[Febs]

Plus, barring unforeseen weather problems, it's more like an hour drive. And I saw in another thread, slcentral, that you wanted to try your UE-5Cs with an amp. Look at how many options you'll have at this meet!

 

[mrdon]

Anyone have a Zu Mobius for Senn Cable they could bring? I am interested in trying them out in my HD650's.

I sold my Zu Mobius, but I'd be happy to listen to your 650/Cardas combination and let you know which cable I prefer.

 

[nytryder7]

Has anyone taken on the task of contacting any members of the trade? The folks at Headroom just unveiled a new balanced amp. It would be fun to give that a listen to along with their Millet amp!

 

[lionel marechal]

I cannot commit now, but I am seriously considering it. It is a 3 hours drive only from Reston. If I manage to come , I will bring :

Dared mp-5, rs-2, hd650 stock, akg81dj. And If I am still have them at the time : head-room micro dac, fubar dac. I might not have them anymore as I am moving back to france in february.
