Nice - I look forward to meeting you, and comparing my Yamaha HP-1 with your YH-1. I doubt I will have my SFI drivers mounted in the broken AKG K240 monitor that I bought (shipped today). I may have to have them smeggy-fied.
I suppose I should consider bringing my SR-5NB gold edition, to compare with the SR-X Mk3. I understand the drivers are the same, but the SR-5 gold are supposed to have a better soundstage. Then it's a question of do I bring the SR-Lambda and SR-Lambda Signature to bridge the gap between SR-X and HE60? My HEV70 with pigtail adapter can drive pro bias Stax, but Mikhail will also have an ES-1 available for pros. If I bring any normal bias stuff I'll bring an SRD-X transformer with 1/4" plug input.
I may also bring some Headphile HHF-1 #29 that I might wish to sell, and if anyone buys them I would give 10% of the revenue as a donation to Mikhail or to Head-Fi (Asr gets to pick).

If you live far from Orem, if you can come to me, i live in a good neighborhood where you can park your car well off the street with no fear of anyone messing with your stuff. Or i can pick you up if you live somewhere geographically convenient to the trip. But you're probably on your own for lodging. I'll be staying with friends in Longmont and can't really promise their hospitality for someone i barely know that they've never met. My car gets about 30mpg on the freeway (probably less fully-laden) so this could be a cheap way to get there with a fair amount of gear. I can only take one passenger because the back seats are reserved on the drive back for some Ohm Walsh 3 speakers. Anyway. Preliminary list of cans I'd like to bring: Yamaha YH-1 Yamaha YH-2 (Potentially - so i have the whole trinity with me) Yamaha YH-3 Yamaha YH-100 Fostex T20 (version 2) Fostex T40 Maior RPT-50 (aka Fostex T50v2 - potentially. right now it's at Wualta's lab.) AKG K240 Sextett middle-production AKG K240-DF AKG K260 Pro (maybe) AKG K340 bass-lite (maybe) Beyerdynamic DT880-S - so people can hear how far beyer hasn't come since 1980. The power amp that meshes best with my Sony ECR-500 has developed a fault that i may or may not be able to fix before the meet, so i might not bring an ECR-500. Which would be a shame, because it's one of the best electret headphones ever. Stax SR-X Mk3 Stax SR-30 Stax SR-80 Stax SRD-7 + Rotel RA-820BX for driving staxen. Bijou Streamlined Futterman All-Tube OTL Cavalli-Kan Kumisa III SOHA v1 (perfboard DIY, with GE gray-plate 5963 + lm4562, to demonstrate synergy with 600-ohm AKGs) And if i finish building it before the meet, and it's ok with runeight, a prototype Stacker II hybrid headphone amp. |
