    If you are open to low brows attendance I would enjoy breaking some pita bread together and share rhapsodies over tzatziki.

    @Marvey Hey, thanks for having dinner with us! I know you're busy but I'm glad we could all get together. It was a good time and good food.

    Let's do it again sometime!

    Always nice to see the NYC SBAF crew!

    If this list is still open, and you don't mind non vocal lurkers such as myself, I'd love to be included in anything happening in the future.

    Hey guys I have question.
    Anybody in NYC area have a headphone measurement rig setup for testing two "driver modified" headphones?
    ( Eikon and Dennon 7200) .

    Third party measurements would add more validity to my latest trials,
    as I am not optimized in my own measurement setup area yet.
    Eikon is done but Dennon has 3 more variations to go thru.
    They are not internal damping mods but (reversable) driver modifications.
    :)

    That's a pretty good time range to work with.

    On another note, @musiqlovr from Klipsch is interested in possibly hosting a meet in NY or Philly (depending on interest) to show off their new Heritage Headphones. Who would be interested in a mini meet for this?

    I'm super interested for the Heritage meet in NY. If they're targeting a $1k pricepoint, are using similar nanofiber drivers to the D7200 (which are very technically proficient and fairly linear in the D7200), and are looking for SBAF tuning feedback, I'm hyped that these could be a big deal.

    Yes to a meet and yes to dinner.

    For dinner, any day other than Tue 9/12 would work.

    Also, I'd like to go to a jazz bar when I'm there. Any recommendations from you guys? If anyone wants to join that's no problem too. I'll be going no matter what. :)

    Although I'm not super active on the form, assuming my move goes well I'll be in NY during that time period and might be able to jump in. I'd need a way to get stuff to the location if there was a mini meet but I'd be willing to bring along some of my gear and would likely be game for dinner/drinks after. Looks like there's a pretty vibrant SBAF scene and I'd love to join in. All goes well I'll be there around early-mid August.

    Blue Note is pretty well known, but I'd only go if there's someone you're interested in seeing there. The bar is pretty small and the food isn't that good though.

    Oh yeah, @Hooncake told me. Wisconson to NYC is a pretty big jump :eek:.

    There hasn't been much going on for the NY SBAF group during the first half of 2017. Not much new product releases and a few of us have pretty much moved on to speakers. With the Vidar finally being released, along with @Hooncake @Dr. Higgs and @sphinxvc getting new speakers, it may be time for a mini meet (separate from the Klipsch one) sometime in the next few months.

    I'm always up for a mini meet. Dinner sounds good, too. I do have a wedding on 9/9 though.

    Hey NYC people. I'm looking for a skilled DIYer to reterminate a stock Utopia cable with a 1/4" plug to a 4-pin XLR + 1/4" pigtail. I don't have the equipment or skills to do it. I'd provide connectors and pay for your time or buy you a nice bottle of scotch. Anyone have the requisite skills and interest?

    Hello, I was wondering where we should have this dinner and what day? September 9-13 is when I'll be there but I can definitely move my days around so that I can accommodate you guys. Let me know. Just a thought but maybe KBBQ? Chinese? I'm down with anything.

    Not a problem for me I can do in my job as I already have extra neutrik connectors.
    just PM me.


    OK, so I see three suggestions:
    1-dinner
    2-Klipsh headphone meet
    3-mini meet

    I would be interested in evaluating the Klipsh to see what type of fostex driver they settled on,
    with my testing on the Eikon biocellulous driver and the similar Dennon fiber driver.

    minimeet would be great as it more flexible than dinner to me.
    Also I will try to make dinners from now on as my recent marriage is settling and not problem like bofore lol
