On an unrelated note, does anyone have an old junky receiver they'd be willing to part with for cheap? I need to replace one for a studio that was shorted out (I want to strangle whoever it was that did it... for some unknown reason someone thought it would be a good idea to shove a broken rca wire into the speaker outputs... yeah really).

 

[Nexolek]

  Have you scrolled back far enough to see pics from our last meet? Lots of tasty gear to tryout...

I did! There was drool. I'm really looking forward to hearing all sorts of new things. My bank account is not. Must resist...

 

[AdamAtAdvance]

Oh god no! Save me! Like I said I'm happy where I am. I don't have thousands to spend right now.

...Please bring them to the meet...

Welcome Nexolek! I'm game to come to the next meet, and if you're all still looking for a place, Advance is willing to host. If not, I'll be happy to haul out some gear if you guys want to put together a wish list.

I know we were talking about chifi stuff quite a while ago but has anyone tried any of the products from Jemmy Audio?
 
DAD1 PRO - ES9018 XMOS (DAC with a balanced amp, digital volume control)
https://world.taobao.com/item/40498680254.htm?fromSite=main&_u=t2dmg8j26111
 
DADMini - ES9028PRO XMOS (DAC with a balanced amp, digital volume control)
https://world.taobao.com/item/538328917958.htm?fromSite=main
 
DAD2 PRO - ES9018 and ES9028 models available, both have optional usb compatability through xmos. (extra 40$ CAD on each) (DAC with a balanced amp, digital volume control)
https://world.taobao.com/item/528213451599.htm?fromSite=main
 
FP27 - SPL2730/2731 (Headphone amp with sexy VU Meters)
https://world.taobao.com/item/536308629834.htm?fromSite=main
 
They're some sexy looking pieces of hardware but I'm reluctant to buy them because that's a lot of money. That said, I love being that person that's like "hey look at this sweet chifi I found!" so if I ever have a couple hundred laying around I would gladly buy the FP27. (I think I have a VU Meter addiction that's seriously not being fed right now).
 
EDIT (for more fancy hardware ):
 
Volume 1 (Literally just a volume pot.)
https://world.taobao.com/item/538481694072.htm?fromSite=main
 
FP29A - SPL2910/2911 (Headphone amp with no sexy VU Meters )
https://world.taobao.com/item/40477033096.htm?fromSite=main
 
FBK/FB100 - SAC K1000 (I think this is just a headphone amp? Only seems to have RCA and XLR inputs)
https://world.taobao.com/item/40477033096.htm?fromSite=main

I think perhaps for this upcoming one I'll host it, then after that we'll see how things go. I will send out a notice soon for next month's meet (I just gotta sit and type in all the names so people will get the notification... the forum's process doesn't work with a cut'n'paste).

I've never even heard of them

 
The thing I don't like about ordering off sites like those is how many of those products are ripoffs of other people's work? I know there's a huge savings to be found, but there's a part of me that doesn't feel right about it. I'd rather buy another Bryston and at least put my money into the local economy and know I'm not helping someone benefit off other people's work.

I approve of this. If you live 2 minutes from the U of M I can probably see your house from my balcony 

 

 

[ri-fi]

Regarding gear for the upcoming meet, I have a pair of Denon AH-A100s (100th Anniversary editions) I would like to unload. I'll bring them if there is any interest. Price is negotiable.

Do you live on campus? I'm just behind the smart park area. During summertime I'll host the meets in my garage and get the bbq going. In winter I'll host the meets at my parent's house in Lindenwoods.

I can see the campus (and used to work in the Smart Park). You know those two giant buildings by the Four Points hotel? I'm in the one that looks towards the U of M. I can see the stadium.

 

[Armaegis]

Haha, I'm probably only about 5 or 10° off from line of sight to the stadium from your place.

Okay, here we go with the giant notification list!

We've got our next meet planned for Sunday, February 19th, starting at 1pm.

Bring your gear, bring some friends, bring some snacks! We had a great turnout last time (scroll back to the bottom of page 176 where some comments and pictures begin): http://www.head-fi.org/t/429399/winnipeg-meets-thread-ongoing/2625#post_13002960
 
Location is the same as the November meetup, located in Lindenwoods. Please message me privately for the address if you've never been before.

 

[Velomane]

I will try to be there. If there's anything specific of mine that someone wants to play with, let me know.

I will be there! Any gear requests that I can bring from the store?

I wouldn't mind having a listen to the Sony MDR-Z1Rs again. I think someone also wanted to listen to the Focal Utopias.

I can bring both. I'll also bring the Elears for comparison.
