I see several questions about headphones (what's the best?) around here and if your in the market for some, or if not, I'd like to invite you tapers to the Vacuum State of the Art Conference over Memorial Day weekend. I'll have a non-profit exhibit there with members of the Headfi.org community. As a source, it'll feature reel to reel tapes from
http://www.tapeproject.com/ and CD/SACD and high Rez downloads through bleeding edge headphone amps. Here' the list of headphones that will be there (so far);
AKG k701
Sennheisser HD600,650,580
BeyerDynamic DT880,990
Audio Technica AD2000
Stax Omega ll
Saturday only
Ultrasone HF-1, 780
Sony CD3000, CD1700, F-1 and 7506
There will be 3 floors of audio venders, live music, seminars and workshops. It should be a ton of audio fun whether you give a hoot about headphones or not.
It's being held in Vancouver Wa (just across the river from Portland Or )
Here's a link to the conference web site;

BTW I'll contact the organizer to see if we can do open taping (Duh,.. should have thought of that before).
