Probably more drinking (Scotch/Starbucks) than auditioning but with great people and a whole lot of fun!! I can believe we killed the bottle of scotch I brought plus more.
@FallenAngel - Thanks Pavel for another great meet! Good scotch, great HP's and fabulous people.
@punkaroo - You're awesome! it was a pleasure meeting you! Great fun!
@jerg - Great meeting you. Loved your HE560 mods!! Been following you since my HE400/He500 days.
@charliex- Pleasure as always!! Gotta love the Oprheus!!
To everyone else, Thanks!
To whomever woke me up from my iPhone6 / HE400i audition.. I was really enjoying my nap and the HE400i.. don't do it again
The Bryson setup was a looker and definitely impressive!
D@MN! I'm looking at a few more purchases right now. HE400i for travel and mating with my iPhone6 and AK100 MkII.
Westone UM2 / UM Pro20 for my daily GO Train commute.
Let the pictures be published!!
Hugs and Thanks to all!!
@MickeyVee I apologize for waking you up, but only allowed you to try the UM2s
Only thing I am disappointed with is I did not have any highland park to bring back home! Oh well...someone suggested the 10 year old is almost as good...
Another TERRIFIC meet - gotta say Pavel, you do host some of the best headphone meets bringing together not just great gear, but an awesome group of head-fiers - knowledgeable, friendly and so very helpful.
As per other meets I seem to be cursed with issues, but thanks to Mark, Pavel and others we managed to pull off the seemingly impossible and got both electrostatic and dynamic amps up and running. I'm pleased to report that the occasionally and intermittently observed 'buzzing'/static issues disappeared totally once I set everything up at home with a different and improved DAC (Musical Fidelity M! upsampling DAC), my desktop computer and better cabling.
I came away with a vintage Grado RS 1 that I had been seeking for awhile, and now wanting a HIFIMAN HE-6 and believe it or not I was impressed with my first closed headphone, the Audio Technica ATH-W3000ANV - gotta love this hobby! Some great conversation with Zorin which I hope that we can continue. Thanks Jerg for the Jade !! updates, photos and more. Pat and Brian - great seeing you guys again, it had been far too long and I look forward to some future 'promised' meets. Loved your Bryston setup (and your avatar) Funkehed and your setup also Monoglycer, especially getting me to come around appreciation wise with the HE-6.
Until next time guys!
MickeyVee, it was a pleasure meeting you as well! You're a hoot! It's nice to know there's another Head-Fier in the Mississauga area! Let me know when you try out Thai Cuisine Experts
It was a great meet! Nice meeting everyone for the first time. Hopefully next time I will be able to bring my own setup to share.
I was very impressed by the bass of jerg's modded HE-560's, and the realism of the Baby Orpheus' midrange was just jaw dropping. I'm not usually a fan of classical music and it's been over a decade since I've been to the symphony, but those HE-60 brought me right back - it sounded just like the orchestra was playing around me.
Too bad I had to leave before trying Mad Dogs. Seem like I can go to the meets infinitely as there always something to try, although I'm pretty settled with my system as for now.
Hey all,
I've decided that I want to really simplify my HeadFi experience. I'm happy with the HE560 even though it is not technically adept as the HD800.. so, going up for sale are:
Woo WA6 with three rectifiers (Sophia Princess, New Production Mullard & Stock Woo) and 4 sets of driver tubes (2 sets of 6DE7 tubes and 2 sets of 6SN7 tubes with the Woo adaptor)
HD800 with the really cool ADL carbon fibre/rhodium connectors
I have all of the original packaging. PM me with any questions or pricing.
