Wow

sorry I havent checked the thread in a week (finals and figured i'd wait til everyone saw it). uh...I am not sure when I am heading up: as early as possible? Wanted a positive count as to how many people were interested in a ride before I arranged it cause I might drop a line to my music collecting, non-audiophile friend if the numbers / necessary space was right. Salem is about two miles out of my way off of I-5: no problem there. Shoot me a private with the location you want to be picked up from if you want a ride so we can get this started

Added: looks like I may get my faboys just in time to burn them in for the meet (that is a semi-interesting story in itself). I won't have any nice, worn-in pads or anything, but i may still get them in time.

Hey, Gigabomber, how many seats do you have open? I'm in Salem, if you can swing by. Ask me for a PM and I can give you the details if you've got a spot open.

I really wish I had all my equipment to bring; my amp is in the shop and I need to order some of those Koss plugs for the mod in the project addendum at headwize. I'm gonna try making some of those poor man's ety's(check my thread on the matter), but I don't think I'll be done before the start of April, right around my birthday.

Sweet, a chance to get into HiFi-dom! Hope I can make it

Only one thing....what time is it? Ive seen 10 am at the B&W shop but, what time are you all thinking of being at Protec?

 

[james__bean]

I was planning on coming by around noonish. I'm assuming people will be done with the speaker auditions by then.

 

[Budgie]

I plan on being there to open the doors just about noon.

Is there a cost associated with this, or with checking canal phones out?

Of course, the cost of wanting to buy new headphones

I was thinking of bringing some Q-tips for trying out anyones' Ety's/Shure's, gotta keep those canalphones clean, ya know. Trying them out might keep me satisfied before I begin working on my "poor man's ety's" and see if they are satisfactory.

I was actually going to bring some Q-tips as well.

Good deal, man. If no one did, all the Shures and Etys would be unlistenable after about 5 minutes!

(...but the Q-tips I'm bringing have constant Q and and are ultra high purity, long thread cotton with a 3 core fabric conductor and a nonresonant tube sleeve.)
~I can't stop laughing at that one! That's my HeadFi humor for ya.

Wave your hands in the air,

I bought a bag of 7 pairs of foam tips for etys, to minimize tip sharing. I'll also donate what I have in unused um2 tips in the size I don't prefer as soon as I make that decision.

Cool man!

You're giving them away? If so(or maybe for a $ or two), can I get some for my Poor Man's Ety's canalphones project? I've already got the test cans for the project on order, and some ER4 series white rubber tips for isolating plugs. Hopefully I'll make some decent canalphones with the combo I have planned...

 

[Zemo]

My UM2's will be there for the listening...I think I only have 1 or 2 pairs of unused tips, but I figure enough Q-tips and that'd be fine.

Unfortunately the ones we don't use for the meet are spoken for. However if you are looking for a pair or two I would post a wanted to buy ad for them, tons of people who use the triflange tips have foamies just laying around and would probably unload them cheap, they could be mailed in an envelope.

This is gonna be great. I can't wait to hear Seeburg's audiophile Q-tips. -
