Hey everyone,   Sorry for the delay in posting, super insane week at work.   Thanks so much for having us John! It was great to catch up with you all.   The Stax's sounded awesome and the LCD2's caught me by surprise (although maybe too intense for me)   Pictures below as...

Ouch

Oops...I totally forgot that I was going to the Gold Coast on the weekend of the meet. Looks like i can't make it anymore. Sorry guys, I was really looking forward to it!

bahahaha I'll have to bring rations in case I get lost   Happy to chip in extra if required

Homebush is a pretty big mission for me, i'll try to make it though!

Hi guys,   I might be able to come..   I would bring HP-2s HF-2s Melos SHA Gold Northstar m192  

Hi Guys,   I'm in for sure!   I can bring my Modded Melos Sha Gold + HP-2s/HF-2s and a Northstar   Cheers

Any more impressions of the balancing act?

Kind of popeye-esque   Btw, use the slideshow when you open up the album, it's a pain otherwise.   Thanks Tom!

Hmm rangefinder? what rangefinder? haha i'll put up the pics tonight-i think i'll have to get a flash for the next meet  

Just like to say thanks for the fantastic day! Thanks so much for hosting John, the soup was great and the company was fantastic.   Thanks Erwin for the collection of phones- the K1000 bass heavy were the highlight for me.   The HD800/B22 were special, but perhaps too perfect for the...

Quote: Do you think Stax will ever change their design?  

HD800, Beyer T-1, Jade, HE-5, LCD-2...and those are just the ones that are currently in production 

Sure, but it doesn't mean that they have an sustainable competitive advantage. Headphones are becoming popular again, especially on the high end...Think of all the "reference" phones that have been released over the last two years. I wonder what their plan is..   

It seems that headamp can stay in business   Can't stax make one of the DIY designs commercially feasible? Seems they haven't put too much thought into their amps in a long time

This meet has brought me back into the head-fi world, which is quite dangerous when combined with my new job!!!   I'm thinking of some big upgrades in my system and so the Melos will be available for inspection-the old timers know how long it took me to find this one.   Looking forward...

John, if I bring the turntable is there somewhere to set it up? do you think it's too risky?   I'm really looking forward to this!

Who wants to give me a ride?

Guys, I'd love to bring my table, but think it could be a hassle. How important is it for you for it to attend? I must say, it's the centre of my rig at the moment!

Sorry about the late reply!! have been super busy at work. i've been really well and you? how is your rig progressing? how are things?    I'm running a ZYX Bloom, but thinking about upgrading the cart and stage before the meet-just a basic stage at present, but sounds pretty sweet.   I'm...

Would love to come, but have no idea how to get there!! If someone picks me up I'd bring my new Kuzma Table (stabi s with stogi ref arm), melos sha gold, cd3000 and hf-2s :)   Thanks for letting me know about this guys, looks awesome

Aw..thanks for the invite guys! I've been so preoccupied with the joys of full time work, havent logged in ages. Looks like a fun day! I think I need some HD800s! Too bad they wont work with my melos

Thanks for the helpful advice guys, I won't proceed. I'm going to allocate the funds elsewhere
