I want any and all Pro-bias stax to try out my eXStatA which I am pleased to say is finally in a box:

No, I didn't. Who was it?

Nice, is this solid state or tube?

SS, and it sounds exceptional with my Lambdas.

All it needs for the meet is a double checking of the bias

Jack and Woo Audio are totally awesome for agreeing to do this, and in general. I will bring SR-Omegas and if anybody has an HE90 to Stax adapter we can have dueling Omegas going at the same time on the WES and then on Nate's BH(se).

does this mean I shouldn't bother bringing my WES? i'd much rather not have to carry it, if there will be another one there.

ironically, I will be bringing some Omegas

So we shouldn't need an adapter - we can plug mine into the Blue Hawaii

I really wish I had seen your post saying you might bring the WES before but the die is cast and the amp has shipped. If you don't want to bring yours from Jersey then leave it at home. What Omegas are you going to bring? I would happily leave my SR-Omega at home if you are bringing yours. The adapter I mentioned is to utilize the HE90 jack with Stax phones. I am looking into finding one just to allow the head to head comparison of SR-Omega to Omega II, so if anyone knows of a member who has an adapter with a male HE90 connector on one end and a pro bias female Stax connector on the other, then let me know.

If I can leave the Omegas at home, I could bring the Beyer T1 instead. My gear list would be this:

luvdunhill Balanced JFET amp
Balanced TWag JH13 replacement cable with Tiny XLR termination for JFET amp
Beyer T1
iMod/iPod
TTVJ portable and maybe the Hybrid portable as well

I will need access to a balanced source, or bringing the JFET amp doesn't make any sense. Anybody got a pair of XLRs of output available for a loan at the meet?

I would bring the real deal - SR-Omegas. I cannot wait to plug these into a BH!

Doug, hope you don't mind but I'll be spending a little time with these, I've never heard Omegas before so it'll be a first. BTW, anyone bringing a pair of HD800s (balanced I hope?) I'm considering buying a pair but I'd like to get some time with them before deciding.

I'm not going to be able to attend after all. Sorry to miss it, guys.

Heinous news, Mark. You will be missed.

 

[Voodoochile]

I'm bummed about it.

We just got our power back Sunday, things are still quite a mess here, so I can't go out and play this weekend.

Understandable Mark, 3 houses down the street from me they've been without since Friday with no sign of it coming back soon. Somehow we dodged the outage, at least so far.
