I'm a real noob, may i come along? I found this thread while googling to find a headphone showroom. Just yesterday I got my first (portable) headphone amp, a Fiio E11, which I use with Jays Q-Jays and a Rockboxed iRiver iHP-140. I would like to get some better headphones but I don't know what I want. Also I live about 15 minutes away from the venue!

Taurine,
 
You are most welcome to attend. It'll be an excellent opportunity for you to audition some great gear and chat to fellow enthusiasts.
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.

Andy.

Another equipment update...
 
Halide Design have agreed to send a DAC HD v1.0 to the meet. This is an innovative design combining a DAC in a tiny enclosure incorporated into a Wireworld cable. One cable end is USB terminated with the other post DAC ends being RCA plugs. Have a look at the Halide website - http://www.halidedesign.com/dachd/ - and do check out the great reviews on Computer Audio and Headfonia. 
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.

Julian H,
 
I'm in discussion with Halide Design about offering Head-Fi meet attendees a discount on their products, so do stay tuned for further updates.
 
Cheers,

Andy, hello.
 
Just came across the thread... thanks for organising a UK event!
 
I'll need to see whether I'll be able to attend but if so, see my sig for prospective equipment list.
 
Best

Retailer update...
 
I'm pleased to announce that Amp City (www.ampcity.co.uk) will be attending our meet. The guys from Amp City are an amenable bunch and brought some great gear to last years event. If you're not aware of brands like audio-gd, Matrix, Calyx and Musiland, do check out their website.
 
Cheers,
 
Andy.

That's awesome news! AmpCity brought a TON of great gear with them last time, and as Andy says, they're a really friendly bunch.

More STAX is always welcomed!

Can't wait to listen to a non modded 404 side by side.

Thank you. I have the feeling attending such a meet, and hearing all those source/amp combos that my wallet is in serious trouble afterwords. Should the STAX 009/blue Hawaii make an appearance i am almost too scared to audition it
