    Tried to organise one before, but then somehow the venue got diverted and was not followed up.

     

    Interest waining? rolleyes.gif

     

    I think there are a few very keen forumers who are interested in getting this rolling. Those who are should just organise their own mini meet and do it, rather than wait for something "official" cause its tough to get everyone to agree on something as simple as a venue. tongue.gif

    CMK, they look like some brain zapping thingy from the movies w00t.gifwacko.gif

     

    are they safe to listen to tongue.gif

    That's why I point them straight ahead, not at me... biggrin.gif

     

    Safe, you won't see me running for the vol control. So far the most musical spks I've ever heard, cans included.

    Just sold off my faithful pair of Vandersteens and plan to upgrade to a Cabasse which should arrive at the end of the month. Meanwhile, I'm headphone.gif

     

    Just played some Dire Straits "On Every Street" remastered CD. Man... it sounds really good. Glad I didn't sell the Melos or the AT W100s. With the 120ohm impedencer plug, it just sounds great!

     

    On Charismatic's comments about the W100 and HD600, I have this to add. The HD600 is quite a warm can, hard to dislike really. If I were to be picky, I'd say the mid-bass is a little full, which gives it a nice warm feel, like a blanket on a cold night. I still prefer my W100s for the dynamics, speed, accuracy and musicality.

     

    Happy headphone.gif everyone, and good night.

    Personally, female vocals fare better on Beyer DT831/931 (if your system is slightly laidback) and also DT860 which fares really well in mid range. DT880/990/150 will partner well with slightly upfront sounding systems as all of them offers transparent vocals albeit a bit left wanting in terms of warmth and fullness. Vocal range is Senn HD600's forte IMHO.

    Beyers require a good amp to drive them, else they may sound lethargic. But given good matching amp, they sound very nice.

    Just to clarify, I did not "come in to our[your] store several times, spend hours listening and comparing different models of Grados and then complain that they can get the headphones they want cheaper elsewhere on the Net". I only came in once and listened for about an hour(your shop was busy), the second time I came to audition the SR325 to confirm whether I wanted to buy or not, I was brushed off, but did not want to make an issue of it, because I know both you and your rep. Given the price premium of the SR325, and the service received, naturally I was disappointed. In fact, it was only after I could not audition the SR325 again that I started seriously looking for alternatives - sources or headphones.

     

    I do appreciate your coming forward to clear the air, especially with regards to pricing, but this past experience has put me off Grados for the time being.

    Ok I had this in the back of my head as an alternative site, just that if we could do with something cheaper, then we should go with that alternative.

     

    Pls reply with a YES or NO, and let me know what you think of this option.

     

    Place : Tanglin Club

    Cost : $270 for a whole day, ie 9am to 5pm

    Size : about the size of a conference room, can accomodate about 30

    Dress code : smart casual, no slippers, no jeans with holes

    Food : Wheelhouse has various local, western and even Indian cuisine cost similar to SPGG, but tastes better(IMHO)

    There are about 3 or more power points which need to be shared.

     

    Also there's the question of date and time.
