I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask: will there be a DIY-fi exhibitor room where DIYers make their gear available for people to listen to?  If yes, how can I become an exhibitor there?

Reserved.

I'm interested.  I have a few DIY pieces I built from AMB Labs, and a DIY DAC that I did myself which I can bring, for those interested.  I also have some great 24/192 demo material.

I am already bringing some completed DIY gear (one amp + one DAC), but would it be appropriate for me to bring 'in-progress' DIY gear?  Specifically, I have a working prototype of a high-end DAC that I designed, which people could look at and listen to, if they want.  Would there be any interest...

Could someone please bring an HD650 or an HD600?  I have never had a chance to try either of those with the rest of my setup, and I am thinking of buying one in the near future.

I'm definitely interested!  I can bring some DIY power amp and DAC hardware that I have made!

Quote: Cool, thanks nikongod.  Another region of the DIY realm I guess I have not yet explored/come across.  I suppose if I search around a bit, I'll come across some people who have recommended certain values for the 880 (which is primarily what I plan to use, for the time being).  ...

Quote: Is this what you're talking about? http://www.meier-audio.homepage.t-online.de/   I've never heard of anyone doing this kind of setup.  I will certainly consider it, thank you for this tip.

Well, thank you nattonrice.  Any help is good at this stage.     I was planning to drive 880's (with balanced XLR terminations, of course).  Although, I think I might use it with 650's in the future as well.  Haven't decided that yet.   I'm also hoping someone can estimate for me how much...

Quote: This is also quite thoughtful.  I'd never heard of this amp design until now.  Indeed the organization of the board in this design is perfect for side-heat-sinking :)  

Quote: Thanks for this response, nattonrice.  But why would I necessarily prefer the bjt output over the MOSFET output of the M3, or vice versa? Simply because of sound?  If they're comparable quality, I'll probably go for the alpha 20's, purely based on size.

Quote: Well, I already have a decent single ended amp.  I thought it would be cool to build my own.  I also thought it would be really cool to try out a balanced setup some day.  So why not do both at the same time?  I have heard other balanced setups, and I like what I heard.  As for...

Quote: Thanks for pointing this out...you're right I just typed something other than what I intended to.  

Oh god...yes, I meant alpha20, not epsilon24.  Stupid error.

I've been reading most of the AMB audio site, and reading up on old threads from this forum that have addressed balanced builds people have done.  I'm really considering an M^3 balanced build, but I'd really like to get the form factor down to a smaller size (and yes, I plan to put all the power...

Hey I'd be down for this as well.  I just went the CANJAM meet in Chicago, so I'd be up for a smaller, more local meet.  Since no one has given a suggested date so far, and there is some apparent general preference for weekends, how about Saturday, July 17, 2010?   ...I have no idea where we...

Ok nevermind. The amp was not fully charged. All's well! Thanks everyone for your suggestions (except lgn).

Oh. My. God.

...I'll have to say as well that I'd be okay if it were to disappear. Now that I have my micro amp, my ears will accept only the best crossfeed performance. And some SQ increase at that price point would be welcome, to say the least!

I'm just looking at Westone UM2's right now, and I was just thinking how nice it would be to have a headroom opinion + photos + a frequency response graph to compare it to others... Has HeadRoom ever considered becoming an authorized dealer? Thanks!

I know this is a bit late, but if you can get a deal on the shure SE 310 (normally abound $250 I think), you're rockin'! I know the SA6 and Klipsch have got the most attention so far, but I have lots of shure listening experience and I have nothing but good things to say! There's a reason they...

amen. Biggest lessons I've learned? 1) Learn to make your setup fit your taste and your listening needs - forget what's popular or what people say is good 2) listen, listen listen. and then listen some more. I put in at least 4 hours a day, and I enjoy my tunes more very time. And the...

are you asking this Shures' low frequency response is of poor quality, or if the amplitude is too little relative to the other frequencies?

I've been using my 210's in the gym with good success. Honestly, I think they are one of the better fitting universal fits 'phones, even if not the best SQ. I guess since their price is a bit lower, that helps justify the sweat exposure they might come across... Plus, consider that the partial...
