Tony,

Be forewarned that we are getting ready for RMAF. We would love for you to visit, but we will probably have shipped a lot of our gear out of the listening room and off to Denver by the end of Sept so we may not have our "A" system up and running in October. On the other hand, right now the headphone rig is sounding awesome as we dial it in for the show.

Are you only bring headphone amps to RMAF?  Will you have a room or just be in the head-fi mosh pit? :-)  I'll definitely be checking you folks out where ver you are, just wondering if there will be a more traditional amp/speaker rig too.

We are showing in the Head Fi room, tables C21 and C22. Tape Project will also be showing 1/2" tape in the VTL room with an Otari MTR-20 with a Bottlehead Tube Repro. I thought at the end of the last RMAF that we would be taking a room this year for our speaker oriented gear, but it turned out that the focus of our most recent products would be better shown in a headphone display. There might be a couple more Tube Repros running besides mine on my Nagra T in the Head Fi room, and I will have Soft Start Paramounts running with AKG K1000s. I will probably also be bringing my HD600s with balanced cables for the Smack, HD650s with a Cardas cable for the Crack and maybe some K701s with a Stefan cable for a SEX 2.1. I'm hoping folks at the show will want to try the C4S'd S.E.X. 2.1 kit with LCD-2s, as I think they might work well together.

Dan, Sounds good.  We're booked for the entire weekendthis year so hopefully I'll get to see you folks plenty.  Definitely want to check out the balancedd HD-600s on the Smack.  I'll also probably bring my re-cabled Shure SE425s as well.  Sounds like a good lineup.

Yes, puleeze! Anyone who has some headphones they would like to try, please bring them. I really appreciate the opportunity to hear how different cans work with the different amps. That's the whole point of having the choices we have come up with, and hearing different cans at the Seattle and Bay Area Head Fi meets has really helped us to refine our designs.
