That's enough to have low impedance headphones quaking in their cases!

It would be sec on hand but pocket money really has to be stretched ahah!

Talking of hard-to-drive headphones (and stretching pocket money!) I now have a pair of 600ohm AKG K240DF I'll be bringing along.

Swimsonny,
 
You seem like a hard working and resourceful young guy, so good luck saving up for the cans. 
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.

JoetheArachnid,
 
Pity the poor low output valve amplifiers at the meet and stick to the sold state stuff with these cans - I beseech thee.

Wow this has opened up a bit. It was looking super high end when I first read this thead months ago, but if I can contribute I'll happily bring my Vsonics IEM's.

 

[Swimsonny]

Thanks for the compliment Andy! Shame that they are now pending to someone else. Oh well

 

[smial1966]

Swimsonny,
 
Don't be too despondent as they come up on eBay UK occasionally, so keep a look out there too.
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.

Sounds great, in! Well done for organising.
 
If anyone happens to be driving from/through Oxford I'd love to share a lift. PM.

From what I know my valve amp should be able to drive the 600 ohm headphones no problem.  It's massively overpowered for what I have it with atm, as I was originally going to pick up a pair of Hifiman HE-500s but decided against it due to the recurring quality control issues I kept seeing crop up.  I'm really looking forward to hearing what it can do with harder to drive cans.  Even my Senn HD-580s get a real boost when it's put on the higher impedance settings.  I also can't wait to hear my Denons on some different amps.  I think I'll be keeping the valve amp for the long term but will likely leave that meet with a new purchase lined up to match the Denons better .

i'll hopefully get a pair of baby stax, either the sr001 ir 003, so i can bring those if anyone would be interested in trying them

I'm thinking of stopping over on the 14th. They have rooms here if anyone else is intereseted. It's practically on the doorstep!

I've always wanted to try these so would be very grateful if you brought a set along.

 

[big-man]

will do then, they are avaliable anymore but still, i can bring them either way =) will be getting them pretty soon, just deciding on which to get out of the 001 and 003. if anyone can help me that ould be great, basically im confused as to what amp id have to get to actually power them. the 001 come with one but are super hard to find. i can get the SR-003 EARPHONE & SRM-252S AMP but im not sure what else i would have to get. if anyone know please do let me know.
