    So any other members in Hong Kong?

    Think I've seen a couple of member with a location listed as HK, but can't remember who.

    Staying in Shenzhen, but visiting HK often for audio.

    To me it seems kind of useless. You can hear pretty much all portable stuff on daily basis in SIM city. Not sure if this brings anything more.

    A handful of us are in town (or within striking range) then.

    Would people be interested in a mini-meet? I've never been involved with one before, and this being HK space is the critical issue, but for the first time in years my place is free for a weekend (just after Easter, 7-8 April).

    My gear is extremely modest as I've only just started this headphone thing and am trying to remain fiscally responsible (read cheap bastard), but I do have the MCTH which seems to be causing much current excitement, and a considerably more obscure ECP Black Diamond transformer amp (the prototype) which has made it through several previous SBAF owners.

    Thing in Singapore on March 24? Considered it, then realised that I'm in Thailand the weekend prior and can't really bounce around too much these days 'cause... kids.

    Mainly to audition those vintage headphones they offer. It's a bummer that the slots for Orpheus was already full when I signed for it, and you can only audition 2 headphones on a single day(WTF?)
    Personal audio fair in wan chai

    Thanks for the suggestion Rando, but it looks like family time for me.

    Don't worry about your "modest" collection--wish I had been more cheap in this hobby. It probably would have been a shorter path through mid-fi purgatory, in which I'm still trying to get out.

    There a couple of ‘new’ products to audition at the Portable Audio Fair in Wanchai. Most notable are the Sony Justear, Audeze LCD2C, and a myriad of iems.

    Edit:
    If you are lucky enough, you can try out the Sennheiser HE1, but in crappy conditions, as it is not in an isolated space (in typical HK fashion...)
