  Calgary, Edmonton and area Head-Fi'ers, our next meet is set. Come one, come all!

  The 12th Calgary Head-Fi Meet is a go!   Space has been booked in the northeast, at the Best Western Port o' Call Hotel, near the airport. There will be a $10 charge (or thereabouts, depending on number of participants) to cover the room rental fee.   If you can make the meet, please...

I've been given the go-ahead by @EmpJ of CTC Audio to organize a Canadian tour of the Altone 250. Initially, 5-10 participants will be chosen for the tour. You will not be required to write a formal review of the Altone 250 (though that is an option), but it is hoped that you will provide...

Cruising the web, I discovered this tonight. Looks pretty interesting. Described as "A high quality multiple format master-tape-grade pure digital transport," it looks beautiful. Here are some images:             More at this...

Just completed a review of the new, hybrid ESS (Electro-Static Sound) RLM-713. Thought I'd start a thread for discussion and impressions.    The ESS RLM-713 is a dynamic driver headphone designed to sound like it has a Heil AMT (Air Motion Transformer). Features include: ebony wood casing...

I have just completed a review of the Aune B1 Class A Portable Amplifier.       I've been given permission by Aune to organize a tour of the review unit. If you're in Canada, are a 100+ Head-Fi'er or higher, and would like a chance to try out the B1, please reply to this thread with the...

Just received a review unit of the Opera Consonance "Suzanne" portable music player today, and thought I'd start a thread on it. First some unboxing pics:                 Last shot is next to the new Fiio X5 2nd generation. You can see that Suzanne is a beast! Almost 1'...

  Thanks to everyone who showed up to the meet yesterday. This was my first Head-Fi meet, and I had a great time meeting so many other music nuts. With Calgary having relatively few places to try out new gear, it was awesome to have a chance to try some really amazing audio kit.   I'll leave...

Would like to get a Pelican case for my X3 & E12A stack. Which case would you recommend, either with or without room for an IEM?

Hi all, Eric here with my initial post. First, thanks to Head-Fi for a great site. I've been cruising about the past few weeks learning all I can so I can escape the iVortex, and through the forums and wikis and buyer guides have made purchasing decisions on a pair of Sennheiser HD-598s and a...
