Yeah, looks like we're going to have a big turnout. Ten, maybe more if everyone who says they're showing up actually make it.
 
Brings food/snacks. There's a Safeway/Sobeys/Walmart 2 minutes away if people just want to pick something up.

This was a good meet with pretty good turn out.  I may be mistaken, but I got the impression that most people were pretty satisfied with the gear they had, which is uncommon in a hobby such as this!  I look forward to the next one and actually getting to test a bit more gear!

And I really enjoyed your Beyers. That may just be the next line of headphones I get into, when the time comes... also, thanks a lot for the tracks! I still have to listen to them but looking forward to giving those a listen on my system.
 
 
And in other news... I'm glad seahorse could make it!

I'm glad you enjoyed them, I'm sure that you'll like the CD as well.  The liner notes are good too since they tell you exactly what to look for in each track. 
 
I really enjoyed listening to your gear as well.  It was interesting to hear just how different the HF2 was from the DT990s.  I really enjoyed both sound sigs.  I also enjoyed your amp, it sounded great!  Next time I'll have to compare yours and the Bottlehead Crack as I liked both with the 990. 
 
As far as the sea horse, I wasn't at all pleased with the gear it brought.  It all seemed too bright (even for me) and tinny sounding!

Thanks again to Armaegis (Nathan) for hosting. It was a great opportunity to meet some of the local members and try some of the gear that I've only read about. Lindsay I quite appreciated being able to test drive your Headstage before I actually order one, and to hear you W1000Xs, and Steve, I've been wanting to hear a set of 702s for quite a while and Nathan's Phiatons and Andrew's Beyer 770s were also on my wish list. I would have to agree that most in attendance seemed most satisfied with what they already had, which is a great endorsement of the information available on the forums. Thanks again to everyone who made it out, I look forward to future meets.

I've actually got the Phiaton MS300 and PS500 now. I almost had them in time for the meet, but UPS was being stupid.

Nathan, how'd you get around UPSs Broker Nazi policy? Did you have to go to Customs yourself?
 
Nov 16, 2010 at 10:01 PM Post #343 of 4,134
Yeah, I took the afternoon off and drove down to ups/customs to broker it myself. I wrote about it here (last page): http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/507194/listing-canadian-companies

Should we get an equipment list going you think? Maybe that would spark some more interest.

Its a shame cause I don't know what other big areas would be able to make it. Minneapolis is probably the next biggest area, but thats about an 8 hour drive I would think. Unless we want to try centralizing it more. I guess it really depends on what benefits we could get from including more of the Minnesota and North Dakota area.

I got more deep understanding about this part, Thanks for your analysis!
