    No interest in UERM's but can't hurt to listen. Is anyone bringing he-560s? I would really like to hear a pair.

    Hmm, I don't think any of us have he-560s. The only one I even saw at the last HF meet was at the hifiman booth. The hype around them has kind of died down.

    Yea, there doesn't seem to be much talk about he-560s on sbaf and yet they are on the leaderboard. That is why I am curious.

    I found them technically good, but what I was left with was a sense that they were a bit dull sounding. Would be interested hearing the he1000 or other hifiman headphones.


    Julie will be great to have. I'll want to hear the uerr demo if she has it as well as the jh rosie.

    When I had the he-560s I liked the openness and clarity that they had. I even did the full jerg mods on them. Ultimately, they were ended up being too fatiguing with my setup. You need to have a carefully matched setup with those headphones.

    Cool! But does anyone have a power amp or setup we can actually use that with?

    It can be placed between a source and an integrated amp too.

    Okay so she can't attend the meet.. BUT, she said that someone could pick up her demos that Friday afternoon for the meet and return them Monday morning. This means that you'll get to spend the weekend with practically the whole UE and JH CIEM lineup but you will be responsible for taking care of them and making sure that they return to her on time and in pristine condition.

    Edit: she didn't mention if she had the UERRs yet.

    Thank you for offering to pick them up! I would have done it myself but I've already had so many opportunities to try the demos. I already have a pair of uerms so I dont need anything else :)

    This is shaping up to be a really nice meet.
    By then I will have modded HD650 to add to my modded PM2, modded HD800, and hopefully one more.
    Oh, and a Yggdrasil for anyone to try.
    :)

    Tom, I had no idea that you posted the thread for the next NY head-fi meet so early. I just found out about it today haha. Why so late this year? Good thing we have this meet in-between :p

    Great news, guys! I contacted Zach from ZMF and he'll be sending us some of his headphones for the meet. @sphinxvc since you're the gear master of the east, would you like him to send them to you? If not, then I would like to hold onto them and test them out a bit.

    2/21 should work for me. I'll bring the EC ZD 90% S, HD650, and AGD DAC19. I also still may have an Emotiva Stealth DC-1 if anyone wants to hear it.
