Hi guys, for what it's worth we just had our meet down here in Melbourne, and I'd allow at least 6 hours for the meet, if not longer. This will provide enough time to set it up and break it down at the end, plus you'll find that everyone has a different schedule and may not be able to arrive right at the start. We had about 9 people and lots of gear, and we fit approximately two to a desk in a fairly standard sized meeting room.

Hope this helps, and best of luck.

Off the top of my head I think the room was around $26 an hour. If the insurance is cheap enough, thats certainly an option.

The UNSW library is free however. Personally, I like free

.

Curious how many people are confirmed to be coming... anyone willing to count?

 

[Capunk]

I didn't know I'm on the list...
So the place is arranged? is there any fee?

I might bring my,

Cans:
Denon D2000
MS-1
Yuin PK-1
Ety ER-6i

Source/Amp:
Modded Ibasso D1 (OPA2111 + LM4562)
iPod Photo

Anyone own an "iMod"?
I would love to try that

 

[poo]

Looks like there's a nice bit of gear coming together...

Agree with Capunk, it would be nice if someone has an iMod they can bring.

Sorry, David. It's the Uni students that organise (generally) so they're more aware of their own timetable limitations/challenges and less aware (now) of school timetable limitations/challenges. I must admit even I, who sometimes work with the schools sector, hadn't noticed this clash.

Unless you have a HSC exam on the Monday I'd view it as the potential for a few hours break from the intense study regime (after all, you don't have to stay for the entire meet if there are pressing study requirements).

Hope you can squeeze it in (because it is worth the time

)

Such evil advice

.

In other news, I'll hopefully have a Headsix arrived by then, though it probably won't be burnt in. MS2is as well.

I'll probably just bring my iBasso D1 (stock), turbo lineout, headsix, k501s, bamboo earphones, um2. My other stuff seems to be repeats, so not that bothered

Place is semi arranged. Just waiting for more ppl to book the UNSW library. As it stands now, theres only 2 hours booked. Yes, it should be free.

 

[Sixer]

Ok I rang again and this time the woman booked me in, I got 12-2

Someone else get the other times please.

I have exams on Monday unfortunately (Modules) so weekend is for cramming

How often does this meet normally occur? On a monthly basis or even longer? Btw is there any other high school student that rocks up?

The previous Sydney meet was somewhere in this March. On average, I'd say we have about 1-2 meets per year.

Any chance to listen to Sony SA5000?

Sorry to hear it, davidw89. Still, the time is far better invested in your studies at this time in your life.

If I were you I'd check those who are coming and the equipment you're interested in. No harm post-HSC approaching your fellow Sydney HeadFi-ers with that equipment to see if they're open to a mini-meet.

It's as Zorander indicates - at least it has been for 2007! The impressions thread from the last meet can be found here: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=232025
