Here's the blurb I've been distributing to online audio sites regarding the headphone meet that I'll have my Tape Project rig at on the 30th and 31st of May. For any of you guys who aren't subscribers of the Tape Project, this will be a good place to give these tapes a listen.
As TomR found out last year, it can be a little noisy at these things sometimes so Sunday will be much better for doing some serious listening.
And if you're waiting to listen to my rig and someone seems to be
hogging it, don't be shy, let them or me know that you're not just loitering!
The LAX Hilton will host the 2009 Headfi International Meet on the last weekend of May this year. If you're interested in replacing those old headphones or are just curious on just how good a pair of cans can sound, you might find this an interesting way to spend a day or two.
