Quazacolt - empty handed for now. You probably won't want the ad900 for the time being as the ear pads are pretty much deteriorated through daily use (my speaker still being repaired rofl
like, the sponges are all busted out of the broken/torn leather
i do have the Centrance DAC port LX and GoVibe peak if anyone wants to try them out.

if i was there, (i at sabah), there would be quite some stuff

if we can test speakers, anybody wanna try my Dayton B652 paired with my modded Lepai 2020A+? Budget-ish setup using my Littledot as a pre-amp hahaa

hopefully these will be in by that time

edit: woops

Bring it please I liked it when I went to Stars Pickers but it was only on the LCD XC and Hifiman HE-400i, I want to try it with my HD650.

OK will do, btw you guys usually park car where? Looking for cheap one lel..

Um... train.

Sorry penmarker, cannot guarantee I can bring it or not. Was originally going to buy it, but now realize I have to do something else with the money.

Cheap parking... So far from what I know Times Square RM12 max, Starhill RM10 max, Standard Charted RM7 flat for weekends

==REMOVED==

I noticed there is outside parking new Sungei Wang, looks like there is a tollbooth.

*note, will bring Rudistor NX-03 instead of Yulong A100. Let see if it reach to me before the TT date . penmarker

This post has been edited by yuka: Oct 31 2014, 02:26 PM

oh that, not sure the rates for that parking, never parked there before.

HOT!

Be among the firsts in the world, literately, to experience the yet to be released Oppo PM3 (planar magnetic) headphones and HA2 portable DAC/amp The international audiophiles at head-fi will be really jealous about it

Anyone want has an extra headphone hard case they want to let go? I'm kinda looking for one.
No @yuka its fine

Since sungai Wang, recommend to park at lowyat or sungai Wang straight? Or where else?

We are getting ready, are you on the way

E1 - AKG Thanks for the A15!

Nice event testing alot of cool headphone n amp

A wonderful event indeed.
It was a pleasure to meet with all of you music enthusiasts and had the chance to try lots of audio gears.
The Dita The Answer and JVC-FX850 leaves me the best impression so far (especially Dita, but they cost an arm and a leg).
Lego Warfare, I'm happy to report that there is no signs of hissing from the Sony NWZ-A15 from my experience.

That's good to hear. With which IEMs did you tested with?

Let's see, I've tested it with the following:

Panasonic HJE900
Shure SE425
1964 V3 (Universal fit)
Dita The Answer

I've turned off all the features when testing the A15 (things like DSEE HX, Clear Audio and so on).

ah ad2000, i thought ad2000x

missed you btw, i came around 6:30pm lol

and wow the sony MDR-Z7 http://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/headband-headphones/mdr-z7 made me changed my perception of closed can headphones a bit w

auditioned:
- LCD X with ALO RX MK3 B+
- oppo PM1 and oppo HA1
- Sony MDR-Z7 with PHA-3 + Sony custom Kimber cable , and MDR-Z7 with ALO RX MK3 B+

Source:
my Sony Xperia Z1 3.5mm out or usb out with the PHA-3

rough summary:
i still prefer the LCD3 over the LCD X joshuachew comments? lol (if it gets too much we can shift towards the Audeze thread)
the MDR-Z7 is definitely the star for me, threw me off guard as to how close cans typically sound.

heck, E1 - AKG told me it's semi open/closed, however Sony themselves specify it as closed so

i really like the PHA-3, especially as a portal since it can connect usb with my Xperia phone easily.
however the power charging is a total turn off as it drains faster than the puny usb power source could charge it.

in the end i still prefer the stock cable over the kimber ones http://store.sony.com/high-performance-bal...le-Audio-Cables
because:
- comes with the headphone
- black chrome > colorful oddness
- biased preference against silver cables

and ALO audio RX MK3 B+ over the PHA-3 mainly because the PRAT ALO audio amp can provide.
the bass is also definitely much better on the alo than PHA-3

to sum up on the oppo - the bass just doesn't meet my minimum requirement

I left 6.05PM lol.
we're in same boat. I preferred LCD3 than LCD-X/C

I got to test the Alpha Dog and Dunu DN-2000, so I guess that was nice.

**also, I got pictures from the meet. Want me to upload them?

This post has been edited by penmarker: Nov 3 2014, 01:03 AM

Very fun event indeed. It was great to meet everyone

Got quite a lot of things E1 AKG prepared and brought by the various participants. So fun




Chord Hugo on the foreground, Oppo HA-1 in the background with the (i think) Oppo PM-1 headphones. Or is it different model?
I didn't get to test any of those since I talk and walk a lot. Sure would be nice to get to try the Hugo. Yuka said they created the circuit from scratch instead of using aftermarket chips so the sound is unique/different.


Sony MDR-Z7 with the balanced cable, MrSpeakers Alpha Dog, Modded Fostex T50RP, top left corner is Sony PHA-3 amp.
Got to test out the Alpha Dog from a USB DAC+amp dongle, didn't get to know the name/model so sorry. I liked the openness of the Dogs.


The rest of the people and gears, still got some more people who weren't in the frame. Some were chatting at the right side of the table, I joined in listening so didn't listen to a lot of the equipment




Finally got my hands on the AK240 with DSD files since I requested E1-AKG for some DSD goodness. Didn't like Sting - Desert Rose as the sibilance is pretty bad (to me since I don't like sibilance that much) but Eagles - Last Resort was so goooood (or was it New Kid In Town? confused between this two songs).
Tried it out on my setup AK240 > Lovely Cube Premium > HD650, I've never heard the HD600 yet and people have their own preferences whether they like the HD600 or HD650. Interested to listen to the HD600 one day and find out how lighter the bass is based on people's impressions.




Sudden realization that the retarded big plug size for the AKG K551 is the same size as the 1/8 to 1/4 inch jack converter. That's probably their reason why the big size. This headphone was primarily advertised as portable cans for use with iDevices since it has mic and 3 button controls, but the retarded big jack size prohibits usage of case on phones or tablets/iPods.

Bonus


I hope other people got more pictures man. So nice la this gathering, should have some more.
Someone bring Grado maybe next time poor Grado don't get any looovee <3 <3

Also Chatime was goooood

Yep, they mentioned that the Hugo was design and built in-house from the ground up. That might explain its hefty price tag.
Sadly, I forgot to try them before I left as the things they chat are interesting.

Are the Rockjaw Kommand present during the meet? Was looking forward to it.

Yes they were, but not many people tried it because most people were at the right side of the table. It wasn't really that "wow" don't worry you didn't miss out much

yesterday after i tested my cans with HA-1 and with DSD source, when i was about to leave after the gathering ,E1 AKG told me this "Your cans will never sound the same anymore"

Was he right?

Looks like i miss out quite a lot, went there a few days before TT. I like the K812 among all the other headphone i've tried. Imaging is excellent


HD600 has a dark sound with tight bass. Soundstage and imaging is average for an open can
K551 wont fit even with a case with a biggest hole

unfortunately, yes. I dun have a decoder for DSD, nor do i have the source.
Now my cans sounds so dull

Haha. If you prefer the 3 over the x there isn't anything for me to comment. I can't comment on your preference.

It merely reminded me on the pages of discussion on the other thread

Hahaha, saw my mug on a few of the pic (Dude in grey shirt)

Great event, got to test out the Dita's etc., but not the Z7, that one too addictive liao, everyone kept queuing for it =D

The Z5's really impressed me as well as the EX1000 paired with the Ak240/Chord.

I think you're playing music on your headphones too loud. Can hear like a ringtone is going off.

Hahahahaha

Yeah, too used to it.

Wow already 5 years, just like happened yesterday
