Toronto Winter/Spring Meet
May 19, 2015 at 7:50 PM Post #121 of 250
I'll bring down my HD650, and hope to try it on the Beta22 :)
 
I'm off the headphone buying scene for a bit after my recent motorcycle purchase, and the mandatory $600 to register it, $500 tire upgrade, and $500 in gear.
 
I'm building a high-end Bijou right now, but I really doubt it'll be ready by the time the meet happens.

Pavel, what bike did you buy?!
 
Also: I *might* be getting a pair of K1000s in amazing condition for an amazing price :-o
 
And that's all I'm saying for now, LOL!

Would love to attend this time for sure!!
 
Will be bringing my new Cambridge Audio 851N along with BHA-1 / HD800 .
Also UE18s though I suppose there isn't much point in bringing the custom IEMs.

I bought it second hand.


There's obvious hiss when the amp was at mute.  I will try to turn on the volume but stop the music to see if there is hiss.

Haven't even checked what the gain is.  I would eventually want to make it a 5x, so I will have to bust it open myself anyways.  I will bring my multimeter along so we can all try to dissect the thing on the day of the meet.

If anyone has an HD650, Alpha Dog (shouldn't have sold mine so early) or the HE500, please bring it along.  I would love to see how the b22 drives them.


I can bring the alpha dogs.

I hope its not too late to throw my hat into the ring.
 
I'll be bringing my HD800s, Angie Universals, Calyx M and a Bottlehead Crack (as long as I don't botch the assembly). Might also bring some K702s.

I should have my Mad Dogs by the time we have this meet. Looking forward to hearing the Bryston BHA-1 again :)

I've been searching high and low trying to find some (broken in) K702 to demo before I buy my own. I might go ahead and buy the O2 amp that I've had my eyes on for a while if it gets me admission :).
Thoughts?

charliex, many years ago let me listen to his Grado HF-2s...as soon as I'd heard them, I put them down and announced to the room loudly:
 
"I HAVE TO SELL EVVVVERYTHING!"
 
lol!

2007 Kawasaki Ninja 650R :) Just put on a set of Pirelli Angel GT tires on it and took a ride up north. :) It's an absolute joy to ride, but noticeably slower than my older CBR600RR... maybe I'll upgrade again in a year or two.

If this all works out and I can make it I'll be bringing:
 
Senn HD650
Senn HD598
AKG Q701
AudioTechnica M50
Shure SE535 (you'll have to supply your own foam tips)
 
If people want me to bring them:
 
Senn HD535
Akg k81dj
HIFIMEDIY 24/96 USB DAC
HIFIMEDIY Android DAC
 
 
I really want to try the HD650 with different amps, also looking to try an O2/ODAC and Schiit combo.
 
Also if anyone has a Musical Paradise MP-301, I'm dying to try it.
 
I also like scotch/whisky, not sure what I'll find at the booze store.
