Winnipeg meets' thread (Ongoing)

Hey guys,
 
Wondering if anyone would be interested in an Audio-gd C-2.1 headphone amp? It comes with a Moon OPA, as well as the stock OPA if you decide to try swapping it.
I am the second owner, purchased recently off Head-fi from a guy who had it for a short while only (just over a month). It is in like-new condition, not a blemish or scratch to be seen.
My reason for selling is that I'm looking to get into car audio, thus I need to liquidate some of my assets to fund said venture.
 
If you are interested or simply have a few questions, feel free to inbox me and I'd be happy to work something out.
 
Thanks,
Zach

I like that a lot.  What shop is it from, and do they have other tins?

 


They have lots of tins there but they're all the same dimensions and they're all of Marilyn Monroe. I think they have 2 or 3 different designs of her though. You'll find the vendor on the second floor in one of the hallway kiosks. If I remember right it's not to far from that large arts and crafts store. The arts and crafts store has two entrance's one leads to a walkway that overlooks the bottom floor the other entrance leads to a hallway with small stores on one side and small kiosks on the other its right around there. The kiosk I bought it from also sells handmade jewellery and stuff. You'll have to keep your eyes open and look through each kiosk maybe even ask each vendor or risk missing it. I found my tin by fluke and when I asked the merchant if he had anymore he opened a couple of drawers and bought out a whole bunch to show me. If you want a better idea of the tins dimensions and whats inside you can see some pics in Nathan's DIY album on his profile page. Nathan put it together for me. The link to his album is below

If you want a better idea dimension wise I have a few pics of the tin lying beside an altoids tin. PM me and I'll send them to your in box

Cool, I'll see what they've got next time I'm in the Peg.  I'm not much of a Marilyn fan, though that's only due to lack of exposure.  Maybe I'll check ebay for other arty tins too.

Hey guys, I've been tentatively put on the loaner review program for the Apex Butte amp offered through TTVJ. (some product info/review here: http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/butte-headphone-amplifier-apex-hi-fi)
Tentative because we're not too sure how to work the shipping into this yet.
 
If anyone here is interested in helping to write a review, let me know.

And I'm back.  Its been a while since I was on the forum here!  Congrats Iain on winning your new project, I look forward to potentially hearing it some time, and I really like your choice of housing.  I'd also like to throw my hat into the fall meet ring.  I'll finally meet some of the new Winnipeg head-fiers!  
 
Nathan, as I'm sure you know I am always interested in a bbq, and the first one worked out really well so I think thats a great plan, although we'd need to figure out where we were having it.  I may be able to host it this time if we're looking for a good outdoor space, but I'd have to check the dates before totally committing to that.  
 
Hope everyone's been having a great summer!



 

We're still running on a tentative Sept 27th unless someone says otherwise. Andrew said he might host?... he hasn't said anything since last time. If he can't do it, then I'll offer up my place again (Fort Richmond, near the U of M)

It's possible my mother in-law could be convinced to host in Osborne Village, too.  I'd love to hear her Esoteric cdp through a tube amp like your Crack or S.E.X., Nathan.

Ok, so possible locations:
 
cyberidd - ??
acidbasement mother in law - Osborne Village
Armaegis - Fort Richmond (bbq?)
 
Mine's available for sure (I'll just have to clean up the garage a bit/a lot). Haven't heard back from cyberidd. Iain, let us know if your inlaw's place is ok (which I suppose would be more convenient for you with all your other family stuff going on).

Well, it's more convenient in some ways, but in others it might not be ideal now that I think about it.  My kids can be pretty darn loud.

It'll be a good test of the isolation of our cans!
 
Location wise Osborne is more central for everybody, rather than my place which is way down in the south end.

Crud I can't find a thing concerning those speakers in the pic. I wonder what the story and specs on that setup is? I tried using the name of the pic ( reyaudio8 ) as a point of search and I keep running across JBL car stereo speakers so you might be right Mythless.
