I love that there are other people from Winnipeg on these forums!
 
I can't tell you how many times I've joined a site to find all the meets/conventions/what-have-you, taking place south or the border or across the pond. I can't wait until there is another meet. So very exciting!

 

[Armaegis]

I think I've sort of turned into the meet organizer around these parts. I don't really have an idea when to plan the next one... maybe the first weekend of February or something?

I just got the Squeezebox Touch unit and I'm putting all my music onto a USB drive that will plug into the Squeezebox. Next meet I'll be travelling a lot lighter. I'm enjoying the K702s, I find I'm listening to them more then my speakers. Still thinking about the Stax

 

[Armaegis]

There were some cheap stax up on the sale forums just the other day. Not sure if they're still available though...

Guys, I need your help, I've been collecting personal data on regarding one of my recent trades.  I've been compiling information and in the process of writing up a document on it.  However, I think I should get more "head-fi" opinions.  I need you to judge the workmanship and sound quality.  If you're willing to help me out, because I've been too mentally drained with this, I would really, really appreciate it.  I don't want anyone else to fall into a similar situation that I had and lose money.

 

[Armaegis]

I've given you some comments already, but if you want something more formally written up let me know.

What happened, David?  Did someone sell you a counterfeit?

Mythless, happy to help, just PM me the details. I also have a request, just got a PaperJamz guitar for the little guy for Christmas, which he loves, but the Jamz are starting to get to us (we should have thought it through a bit more I guess), luckily, it has a 3.5 stereo output which I've tried several of my spare headphones including a Denon 1001 and a AT A700, but the damn thing pumps out a fair signal and even at the lowest volume it's still much louder than we'd like him to use. Any suggestions for low efficiency, small (for a 5 yr. olds peanut noggin), and entry level set of phones we could try? Or if anyone has some "beater" headphones that would fit the bill, shoot me a PM with a description and price. Thanks.

 

[mythless]

Let's just say I'm not too happy.  I'll pm you guys the info.
 
For beater headphones, I would say anything by Koss, their lifetime warranty is great.  I let my mom use my Koss portapro for her computer.  Sometimes she forgets that she has headphones on and when she stands up the cords yet yanked.

Does anyone have a usb DAC/Amp below the rank of the Pico I could try out?
I'm wanting to see if I can downgrade without noticing a difference (assume I can, using my Phiaton MS400 exclusively now. Love them!).
 
Thanks
 
Mythless, I wouldn't mind helping out. Shoot me a pm

 

[Armaegis]

I've got a HotAudio DacDestroyer and iBasso D10.

So when do people want to have the next meet? I randomly mentioned the first weekend of February a few posts above... say afternoon of Feb 6th? (Sunday)

 

[Awah]

If I land this new job I'll be done with shift work so any weekends will work for me. *crosses fingers*
I'd still be interested in trying gear, and I still currently have my Pico DAC/Amp that's unique (I think) in our group to share.

 

[Takaji]

Not sure myself... I don't really have anything new to share at the moment!
