x4!

And, more news: Kennerton (a brand of Fischer Audio) of Russia has graciously agreed to send demo pairs of both the Odin (planar) and Vali (dynamic) headphones! Super super curious about these ones. More hype, more!

On another note, I have also personally acquired a pair of Fostex TH-X00 in Ebony, thus completing the trio of flavors at the meet :3

Very cool! I've been really interested in hearing both of those for quite a while.

Guys, I must make a request: If you or anyone you know has a flagship electrostatic headphone amp (e.g. Blue Hawaii, KGSSV, Carbon), could you bring it? This is critical... If someone brings a flagship 'stat amp, MrSpeakers may send his Electrostatic Ether headphones! But only if there's a suitable amp present*

I'd hate to step on the toes of the people planning the event and reaching out to vendors. Does anyone know someone at Campfire Audio? Would anyone be against me reaching out to them? It's getting a bit close to the meet, but I'd love to be able to hear a couple of their IEMs, especially the Andros or Vegas, and I don't see myself in Portland anytime soon.

A minor aside, I have a question for the headphone tinkerers: Does anyone know if the Fostex TH-X00 (ebony, specifically) uses a four-conductor cable? I am thinking of re-terminating to an XLR, but hopefully without too much messing around.
Sent you a PM.
