I wanted to try and get one more mini-meet in this year, and since it will have to be a mid-week event (I literally don’t have a free weekend-day until February next year right now) I wanted to do a quick interest check before committing to it.
This will be on the 19th, which is a Thursday. And since it’ll be a weekday thing I’d expect a bit more drop-in/drop-out for those not wanting to take a whole day off just to faff about with headphones. This would be at my place in downtown Seattle, so my usual limit of about 10 people applies. And I’d run it from probably 10:00 to 20:00.
Leave a message in this thread if you’re interested etc.
There are some new things that were not at the last meet; that’s in addition to the gear in the list I keep updated in my profile:
Definites:
AAW Canary
A&K SP2000 Cu
MySphere 3.2
Schiit Magni 3+
Schiit Magni Heresy
Schiit Bifrost 2
Schiit Jotunheim R (either the unit I have now, or a production box)
ZMF Aeolus
ZMF Pendant
Possibles:
Abyss AB-1266 Phi TC (it was the Phi CC last time, but I sold those)
I’ve been on a crazy work travel schedule this month and it may carry over into December, but I would love to join this if I am in town! So, I’ll be a 75% in as long as I am here.
If the dates work @taronlissimore and I will definitely be there.
Hoping the HEDDphone will be ready in time as we’ll have one of the only demos. They’re currently saying late December or early January, but as we know these things often take longer than anticipated.
We also have the new Fidelice products from Rupert Neve in the office right now. Hopefully we can hold on to them long enough to get them to the meet.
Oh man, I wish I could be back in the PNW and hang with you guys. I have a house on Bainbridge Island that I really miss - currently living in Japan. Maybe I’ll head to Shinjuku that day and demo a bunch of headphones in solidarity.
A little bird told me this meet-up involves all expense paid airfare and hotels for 9 lucky people from all across the world. The little bird was also speaking with @pennstac and told him to invest in plastics. Don’t believe the little bird.
19th is definitely the best for me. It’s the wife’s birthday on the 18th and I think I may not survive too long if I got to a headphone meet instead of spending her birthday with her!
For general meets, hosted in rented/public/community spaces, generally all are welcome (provided they’ve not exhibited undesirable behavior in the past).
This particular mini-meet will be hosted in my home, and since I don’t know you personally nor through interaction on this forum, you’ll need someone I do know (and who knows you personally) to vouch for you or to spend some time interacting here ahead of the meet.
We’ll call it the 19th then; that’s been the general direction its been heading anyway.
