so you mean those like Sony CD3000 are all sold?

Nicely done RMX. The cover charge works for me and I will buy my share of coffee! I'm about 80% sure I can make it now. I'm looking forward to hearing those eggos again as I am currently searching for something more portable than my beloved Grado's.

Plus I hated mine since I got them used and they smelled like cigarettes...

Really... Then I'd like to stick witht he PX100's for around $30 if I can find some. :/

I'd like to find some nice NON-IEM phones. All of mine are cheap IEMS *points to sig* and I need some non-IEM earbuds as well has full size/over the head and some streetstyle.

Problem is I just bought another IEM (JVC). *smacks self on the head*

This meet is beginning to sound amazing! Hopefully everyone will get some eargasmic experience that part of the country so sorely lacks. (Okay, maybe not as much as, say, Yellowknife [size=xx-small](no offense)[/size])

I propose that we start a list of who's bringing what in terms of Earphones, Amplification, and Source, just so we have a consolidated idea of what's in store. I'll startfirst (and then I'll go back and organize what has been brought up to add them to this list)

[iamsmrt]

I'll be bringing Audio-Technica w2002, AT em9d, AT ew9, TrevorNetwork maxxed Dynahi, Porta Corda II, Benchmark DAC1 (black, older serial number #37626 but with replaced Cardas RCA-outs) and a cheapo DVD player that plays burnt discs as a transport. I could bring my 3G 30 GB ipod too, but it's gonna be filled with a lot of indie music so don't know if that's gonna appeal to most but can't hurt i guess.

BTW, what about available power outlets? I'm no expert on power cables or connections or whatever, but should we be bringing multi-outlet surge protectors or something so we can plug all this gear in? I have absolutely no clue if that's good or bad for the sound quality or whatever, more experienced users might wanna chime in.

 

[spyder187]

Feb 12th eh? I maybe able to make it cause that's during reading break. btw, what's the admission charge again?

 

[Clutz]

I'm not sure if I'm coming- but if I do come I'll bring a self built Millet Hybrid Tube amp with 12FK6 RCA tubes, and I should be able to easily swap to the 12AE6A tubes too. I'll also bring a well filled out PPA v2 AMP using OPA627/OPA637 opamps, possibly a small DIY USB DAC (if the frick'n parts show up), possibly (thou probably not) AKG K701s, HD580s, HD590s, AKG K2Ps and AKG K26Ps. The girlfriend and I are busy most weekends, and she often doesn't tell me of our plans in advance.

 

[AdamWill]

I can bring:

Grado HF-1
Sony Eggo MDR-D77
Etymotic ER4P with S conversion cable (please bring your own tips if you're interested in trying them out, I only have a few pairs of triflanges that I want to keep for me...)

Firestone Spitfire DAC
Firestone Cute Beyond amp

I do have a couple of power strips lying around that I can bring too, in case we need 'em.

 

[Aliacha]

I'll bring a miniDAC, iHP-120, HP-2s, K1000s. There'll probably be HF-1s and 650s there already, so no need to bring em.

 

[nsjong]

If I come, I shall bring the cheap Sharp MD33S!

And my MP3 player YP-MT6Z.

Also some other cheap IEMs (Panasonic, JVC, etc).


Sure hope I can go! Never listened to a real pair of hi-fi cans.

 

[solvexyz]

OK.

Here is what I will bring

Headphone: Sony MDR-SA5000
IEM: Westone UM2, UE10 Pro (for you guys to look at )
Amp: RSA Hornet

Sweet an SA5K!

 

[rmx]

I will be bringing everything in my profile and perhaps a few other little goodies if the manufacturers I contacted get back to me.

 

[jlo mein]

well I hope you guys take a lot of pics...i probably won't make it. Just too many projects and midterms stacked up...plus Valentines Day is that week so I lose more time...

 

[Shion]

Well, I'll be there too.

Out of the little stuff in my profile, I'm still waiting on the amp and the k701s.
And all I can bring really is:
Grado SR-80
iRiver SlimX IMP-350 CD/MP3 player.
I would love to let people hear the AudioTrak Prodigy 7.1 but I obviously can't bring my pc tower with me.
I have some final fantasy music in lossless format that I'll try to burn to cd and bring it with me (some of the tunes I love to hear the most).

One question: I'm a newbie to this world. Would I be welcome even with no experience? Is it ok that I have so little to contribute in terms of gear? Would you have patience for someone who doesn't even know all the terminology?

Be honest with me, I don't mind^_^ I hope to join you guys and have a good time.
