I guess the location would depend on what people are bringing. If its just our portables rigs, a coffee shop "might" do fine.

But, if people are bringing their home rigs,a hotel room? I have no clue on how we'd go about it though.

[choariwap]

if its purely portables, we can probably do it in a coffee shop, better one with a second floor so we wont get funny looks from the staff

hotel room sounds like a hassle, lets shoot for something we can get for free.

if anyone is willing to volunteer their place, it doesnt necessarily have to be in makati

[Alcohol Jan]

maybe a certain audio shop would invite us hehehe

[arnoldc]

Our training center at Antel in Valero has a pantry that can accommodate 30 pax. This was also the venue for the previous Wiredstate Tubes 101 session.

Let me know day and time. Bring your own coffee Starbucks in front of the building. Italian resto IL PONTICELLO on the 2nd floor of the building.

[qguy]

Not a headphone dude, but would like to join and see how my current Koss headphone works with a CMOY headphone amp ..

if space permits nga lang and if someone would bring a cmoy headphone amp

:

oh i know that FUNNY look that spells "IS THAT A BOMB?" hehe

[choariwap]

nice!

venue is available, many thanks to sir arnold for volunteering

now comes the hard part, when?

let's have it on a weekend, how about March 3? this should give folks enough time to hear about this and order some new stuff


btw, i noticed we can have two of the same amps (ex xtra x-1), if anyone has some spare XLR and RCAs lying around, we can setup a bridged connection to have a balanced setup we'll just need XLR to 2 x RCA cables.

[AudioAmp]

Guys..... if you would like to borrow our highly regarded Cayin HA-1A headphone amp we would be more than happy to lend it for that day.

[shikitohno]

can anyone provide a map of the place? or a location marker using wikimapia?

[arnoldc]

Map and directions

Heads up lang. Walang aircon pag Saturday, pero di naman maninit.

[shikitohno]

thanks for the map sir! i'll be waiting for the finalized schedule

[choariwap]

guys, so we can get this finalized, please post if you are ok for March 3 afternoon (2 PM onwards ish).

lets shoot for at least 10 people.

sir arnold, are there electric fans? should we bring some in case it gets too hot?

[Alcohol Jan]

cant we have it in the morning?

[herbules]

I could probably join, but since most of the headphones I have are already on the list, I could probably bring my Grado SR-225s and Senn 280 Pros

[mahavishnu]

im good with the sched

[arnoldc]

May electric fan... But somebody bring extension cords dahil 2 lang ang outlet sa Pantry.

[WillKhitie]

Just have a problem with the time. I have classes up to 4 on Saturdays.

So, how does this work anyways? We just gather around and listen to each others setups? Anyone want to do a couple activities? CD raffle?

How about those who are bringing CD sources? Should we bring out own transformers, extension cords and whatnot?

[EsoTec]

Sali ako, i'll bring my Ultimate Ears 3 IEM and a JojoD Cmoy.
