I'll be there!

I'm not sure what I can bring that won't be there already though... I guess I can bring my iAudio 5!

What's going on in here?

I've never been to a meet like this so the idea of going around trying everyone's headphones is a bit weird...

Although the prospects of trying out so many different pairs is quite intriguing...

I guess my question is with more headphones than sources and more people than sources, how do we handle things?

I've got an M-Audio Transit playing from my Dell lappy or Powerbook, HD 280 Pros, Sony EX51SL, and HD600 that will arrive whenever Amazon gets off their sorry asses (30 day trial here I come!).

Oh, and my cellphone (Nokia Pop-port -> 3.5mm)

I don't suppose anyone attending wants to sell me some open-air cans for under $200?

...for the Google Earth enabled, here is a link to our meet location!

 

[Yellowjacket]

The more I think about it, the more I'm looking forward to this. I'll have had my HD600s for at least a week so I'll be ready to put them to test against cheaper alternatives, most notably the 595 and 580.

 

[calaf]

just got confirmation from Jack at Woo Audio. They will send me the Woo 4 prototype in time for our meet. Here are a couple of pics they sent to wet our appetite (better pics should appear soon on the Woo Audio website)

 

[ayt999]

stop making the meet even better by increasing the attendee list and gear.

think of the people that really want to go but cannot make it.

guess the next best thing is to bother people with lots of questions and requests for pictures.

btw Evoz, that's a 3 ft IC, not 3 meters.

I'm excited though since I can't decided if I want to buy 580, 595 or 600 that all 3 will be there [img]http://www.head-fi.org/forums/images/smilies/http://hfimage.head-fi.org/smilies/biggrin.gif

In addition to the M³ and my modded SDS Labs MOSFET amp, I will also be bringing a Millett Hybrid amp that I am currently in the process of building. Also, I will also bring my RMAA test setup (laptop computer, M-Audio Firewire Audiophile, dummy load box, cables and accessories) so we could put some amps through their paces. This should be interesting as graphs don't lie

.

I will of course bring my HD600 and amp comparo A/B switchbox.

My x5 is in the list already

Quick update:

I just received a loaner VDA-1/VAC-1 combo from Dusty for the meet, so its presence is now assured! Also, if anyone is considering getting one of these, this set will be available at the meet at a discounted "demo" price. Perfect condition, in fact brand new until about 5 songs ago...

...sounding great so far!

Calaf: you want to hook up at the meet and set up a complete CIAudio stack?

most certainly! Since I heard that Dusty was coming I was planning to audition the VAC-1 power supply in my setup at the meeting and hoping that I could ride home with one

Actually, Dusty can't make it (his wife is on vacation the week of the meet), which is why he sent the loaner. I'm sure we can audition the VAC-1 in your system, tho!

How long does it take to run an RMAA test on an amp? I've got a couple I'd like to get some data on, but I don't want to hog your setup all day.
