    I hope they don't turn out to be peanut speakers!

    Just saw this on the RMAF news page. Could be interesting.

    Whoops, just saw these were posted on head-fi back in August. Still, probably worth a list at RMAF

    The peak at 20k seems bad, but I can't hear past 15k anyway

    The RHA press release was flawed. The CL2 is an IEM planar, not a headphone.

    Isn't the RHA CL2 the same thing as the Massdrop planar?

    I suspect vanatoo will be showing off the T1 encore. Probably the only thing outside of if Schiit has anything new that I'd care about.

    I read that as Royal Horticultural Association, the people who do London's Chelsea Flower Show. Wondered what-do-they-know about audio. The remembered actually buying a pair of low-cost RHA earphones, as per recommendations here, for my wife. She loves them. I'm stupid.

    But seriously... Anyone going to any interesting lectures/presentations? Have spotted some interesting stuff on youtube, from RMAF, over the years.

    I don't think so. I think the MassDrop player is the ME.1 from Unique Melody. Also, it appears you have to have a hipster beard to use the X MEE from MassDrop! https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-x-mee-audio-planamic-in-ear-monitors

    While they are often good talks, unless you have questions, it's often better to just watch them at your leisure and spend the time at the show listening to equipment and hangin' with buddies.

    Looking forward to announcements and new gear coming out this week at RMAF. Sadly, I won't be able to make it...again. Maybe one day.

    But I do have a sweet little announcement to break for you guys in just a day or two when the NDA is lifted. Can't wait to share this one. :D

    Between new Schiit, something wireless from Massdrop, Headamp GSX Mini and a few teasers here, I think this might actually be quite a fun RMAF for those lucky enough to go!

    If anyone is going to be around Friday night, i believe there may be a few people getting together at 1UP bar (the larger one) in Denver. I will follow up if this is a definite plan.

    EDIT: Im a dummy - I meant Friday night

    So when does Jude post his RMAF teaser video? No, not that type of teasing, but the new products that will be on display?

    It's on my list. As is the Quad headphone, if I can find someone with it. I'm told MoFi or iFi might have one.

    Shows get less exciting for me every year. The only two things that interest me are new Schiit and Vanatoo Transparent One Encores (if they bring them to RMAF).
