Winnipeg meets' thread (Ongoing)

Hello!
Would anyone be able to help me repair / modify my Verum One headphones? I don't have the soldering tools or skills to do this on my own.
The 2.5mm connectors on the headphones are wearing out so the connection is very touchy and cuts out easily. I was thinking of changing them to 3.5mm connectors to be more sturdy.
I will of course buy any materials we need and will reimburse you for the time.
If you're interested please send me a message, thanks!

@zoobabwa
I'm guessing it would either be me, @Beefy, or @rifi
But just to start things off, are you sure the connectors are wearing out and it's not the cable? or maybe it's just some oxidation (some deoxit or similar would clear that up).

I've read a bit about the Verum, and from memory there is a lot of glue and a very fragile driver. I'm not touching that with a 10 foot pole!

Hey guys, it's been a while. Should we plan for the next meetup soon-ish? perhaps end of next month before the holidays consume us?

Is there a hifi shop in Winnipeg? My girlfriend is from there and doesn’t seem to think there is one that a person could demo different cans.
What price range are you thinking of?
Advance Electronics has some headphones to demo that are more consumer-oriented.
Creative Audio has Focal by Naim so they have a bunch of audiophile Focal headphones you can demo
American Hi-Fi has a couple? of Mr Speaker/Dan Clark Audio and Stax? headphones you can demo I think
I wonder if others can think of more.

I got my Utopia from Advance but that was a few years ago. They had a number of Senns to demo.

Hey guys, update from @rifi that Saturday is no longer an option. Right now Sunday looks to be the frontrunner. We will close the poll at the end of the week.

Also, it seems some of us are really into nice kitchen knives. Perhaps we can bring some steel to show off?

Most helpful gents. I really want to demo my next purchase before blind purchasing. My last pair was Focal Stellia. I am hoping to to demo HiFiManRD10. I will ask my SO if she has heard of these places. Thank you and stay safe and as always. Have fun!
