OK, this is going to possibly date me but what is consider "techno." NIN?

I'm not sure of specific bands, but anything that is 100% synthesized except for vocals is probably techno. Dance, house, trance, electronica, hardcore, ambient, I think it all falls under the blanket category of "techno".

Thanks for the clarification.

SO Philly FOLKS CAN ANYONE HELP OUR TECHNO MAN?

I'm thinking about heading up for this. This would be my first meet, and first real 'hands-on' with any Hi-fi headphone setups. The equipment list looks very nice, indeed. So nice that I'll probably bring an extra pair of pants

I have a CMOY I built that I could bring. It has noticable line noise when 'idleing', which I can try to clean up before I head up there.

Also, I like the techno, but I'm more of a Trance, Ambient, IDM, Dub fan than the 'hardcore' stuff. Still, I could probably find some common ground with Taylor's friend to yammer about.

Other equip that's probably already covered that I can bring:

ATH A-500
Senn PX 100 and 200
iPod Nano
CMOY - above
DT 770-80's should be in my possesion by then, If I have time I may get to recable them.

I would like to attend, it's time for a set of fullsize cans, and I see a few of the contenders on the equipment list.
I can bring my portable set-up (ipod, sr-71, e-5, sensa's[for show]). I've ordered the Eastsound E5 CDP, which I might be inclined to bring, as long as it's heft is manageable!

I think you will be the only person bringing the NANO, which would be really cool.

I think that my dad is coming with me, so that means that there will be 2 nano's coming (his is white 4gb).

Yes, please bring! I personally would love to hear it.

 

[mrdon]

An update. See post #1 above. ^

 

[raisin]

Yes, I'll be happy to bring the E5, however I only have the SR-71 to run it through. Also, no interconnects (other than el cheapo rca/mini), or adapters- so I will need help for comparisons.

 

[Hirsch]

I'm going to try to make it up. If I can, I'll bring a few interesting headphones and amps.
