...lunch between 14:00 and 17:00...

Carajo, esto es un almuerzo. No la mierda de una hora que acostumbramos en el nuevo mundo. Me emputa el no poder participar, no por la musica y el equipo si no por las muchas copas de vino que beberia y conocer otros locos de este vicio!!!

Mucha suerte.

Now for the English speaking Head-Fiers. I just commented that I wish we could take 3 hour lunches like they are doing. Specially w/ lots of wine consumption.

Jejeje... Yes, for us is one of the highlights of the day. The opportunity of sharing good wine and food while talking about our hobby. In this way we can focus the rest of the day in listening music and testing the equipment.

By the way, this time will be very interesting. Rodrigo (PICaudio) will bring some of the last projects he is developing, including some iPod modifications that he is labeling iRod (different from iMods but with the same goals).

CANS:
AKG 701
Rewired Koss KSC75
SHURE E4C( I don't have many plugs but we can try to sort it out)

AMPS:
DIY pimeta with steps
Meyer Audio HEadfive(if it is not sold until then)
AMB's mini3 ( if I get to build it before)

Hi:

Yesterday, when I was going to my work, a truck collided with my car and I did damage in the back and neck, I don't know if I can finish my amplifiers for Santiago

 

[carlosgp]

Hi Rodrigo!

Bad news! Was the crash serious? Do not worry about the new amps and recover. The important thing is that you get well. We can always test the equipment on a another ocassion

Hi MASantos!

It will be a pleasure to have you here with us. I have made the trip to Lisboa in the past to enjoy some weekends, and is less tiring than you may think. It is all by good highway

It was a heavy blow to my neck, I will need about 2 months to cure me

I will have time to listen to a lot of music

Mi consejo, bebe vino! Mucho vino.

Si eso no funciona entonces brandy (Duque de Alba).
