in the next couple-a-months, i'm planning to orgainize another listening session in New England. Likely at Carls.
:P
But any way, i'm hoping to have a good compliment of gear, several amps, preamps and most of all, DACs. We'll have Carls Benchmark, Probably Jason w/his Grace901 will make it. I'll likely pick up a Lite DAC 60, and maybe someone else can come through w/a Belcanto offering? Or anything else out there that we can come up with. We'll also have several good transports / stock DVD-A decks, and perhaps we can even get a wireless or some other PC based audio a go as well.
Just to plant a bug in your ear, for those of you within comuting distance.

i'm assuming this won't even be remotely close to the NYC area?
-
maybe 5 hours north.
you can make it. :)
-
girlfriend will love that:
"you're driving 10 hours round trip for a sausage party and an all male hot tub?"
-
Scott - if you want to come up to Boston first, we could car pool the rest of the way :)
I know it'd still be a long trip, but at least you wouldn't have to do all the driving...
-
Mytek would probably let you use one too..
-
Maybe I'll be back in New England if this doesn't go down until summer. I can cover the computing audio and will have a DAC again by that time.

So it's in the NYC suburbs?

Scott, I would let your girlfriend in with us if it would make her happy!

Too funny! +T
Man, it's bad that I'm already trying to reintegrate myself to New England when I still have another term to go after this one finishes in two weeks.

Allright hot shot, send that puppy to NH for shoot-out & we will see what she's got >:D

I'd tote a Benchmark DAC-1 from the shop to a listening party in NY/NJ area.
If someone's got a Grace or Bel Canto or something cool to ABx.
I'll be skipping the hot tub, I prune easily. ;D

that will tell me if I need to selll my new Lite DAC60 or not. I've been dying to hear the BC2.0

I'd love to hear the listening group's thoughts as to what the Grado rs-1s sound best through. Let me know if you guys want to add some rs-1s to the mix. -Charlie

like the last time, I'm sure we'll mostly be listening through Carl's speakers. its just a lot easier when there's a group of us. that said, I will bring my RS-2's along, and maybe we can do some comps with that as well. while not the RS-1's, I'd venture to guess that the RS-2's are pretty similar to your RS-1's :)
and of course, afterwards, we'll all be sharing our thoughts...

Jason: That would be awesome! I've had the rs-1s for over 6 mos now, but have been trying to get more info before buying an m902 etc to run them through. They sound grate right out of my luxman, but would love to hear what some real gear makes them sound like. Thanks. (And the offer on the rs1s still stands...I've always wondered how close the 1s and 2s sound to each other.)
-
I'm really interested to hear what you guys think of the BC... wish I could make it myself!
-
I will be purchasing another amp this week so we will have that as well ;D
-
shit, I need a raise :P
my new loft is all thick concrete walls though, so now I can really blast my stereo... very nice.

Don't we all!

Would there be some interest in having us send out rca interconnects, a digital cable and a couple sets of speaker wires for the gathering? Sounds like a fun time.
