Firefox 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2003 Hehe.. Everyone seemed quite interested in the amps being opened up. But that can be done by anyone with a screwdriver anyway. As for ting's Creek, it's a pity I didn't have the equipment needed (allen key, wire, soldering iron & file) to fix the hum. Of course, all's not lost. I could probably get the hum fixed and the amp upgraded for a token sum at another point in time. Glad to meet so many people during the meet but sadly, none of the phones suited my taste. *grinz* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

U're really deep into audiophilia now.............U can check in but U can't check out......... Not quite really. I'm not the sort to buy lots of things to try them out (hint: ablaze). I'd be building a Gilmore, getting a pair of phones (still not sure what to get since nothing available is in my tastebuds) & modding my CDP. You have to know I'm the type who doesn't jump on the bandwagon. I try everything I can w/o buying, research and analyse. Only after all this, do I save and buy everything at a shot and enjoy at my own leisure (my phones are at least 2 years old). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mackie 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2003 That's the way to go...........makes good economic sense and in this hobby, patience pays. I believe in undertaking this course too. My first so-called high-end cdp that is a decade old still sings and holds fort in my headphone setup. Hope she will not die anytime soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rameish 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2003 Pipee, once again thank you for the hospitality. The Meet saw some interesting options for me - the Zolt aka Toaster and the Gilmore V2. I think the slight hum on the V2 was probably caused by the power strip or close proximity to another component (the Corda HA-1 was right next to it). Anyways I have already booked both Gilmore V2 and the fire engine for a proper audition at my place - since I need peace and quiet for critical listening, only the respective owners of the amps will be around). I will post my impressions or do a review. I want the Gilmore V2 fully run in first. It needs about 150 hours or so. Evil and Barradio, see you guys soon Auditions on the Corda line and Grado are still available - esp the PreHead with low impedence cans like the AT and Sony. I didn't bring it over because I just had too many things to carry. Phew. I was a pleasure meeting all of you - even the shy ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blues 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2003 erm.. but the quality of the meet is not bad. I mean we get to see some very good amps like the gilmore, berning zotl , ha-2 and the ha-1s. Plus, some good cans like the cd3000, w1000, plus the rest. I will be looking forward for the next meet, hopefully with more people, more equipments.. and .. less noise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
