And three impressions:

HeAudio electostatic headphone w/ Woo Audio GES

"Appalachian" style music was playing on this system. The detail was phenomenal, the last time I heard detail near this level was the HE60 off a Singlepower Concerto ES back in '06. Every single layer was beautifully presented, completely naturally with no harshness. Very detailed, and still very musical, as I could still easily get the "feeling" of the music.

philodox's McAllister Massive Attack w/ Headphile balanced K340

I went into this one with the goal of finding out what made it great for Massive Attack's music. Not quite up to the level I was expecting, but very, very cool nonetheless. Bass went rough and deep and there was plenty of detail. The K340 still sounded like a K340 to me though, with a slight treble etch and a "hollow" mid-range tendency. It was still awesome specifically for Massive Attack though.

naamanf-built 4-channel balanced Beta 22

I commissioned this build from naamanf and he shipped directly to Florida upon completion. Until today I had not seen it in person. It looked nice, but did it sound as good? Well I'm not totally sure yet. The meet conditions made it impossible to get a clear handle on it, but I did hear an obvious advantage to balanced over single-ended with my Equinox-balanced K701 with greater soundstage lift (more front-to-back and left-to-right), greater ease to the sound (more fluid), and more dynamic swing.

I'll hear much more of what this amp offers when I return home in June.

Great photos of a whole lot of great gear!

It looks like a wide variety of audio goodness to treat year ears to some sonic orgasms!

Enjoy!

canjam is blowing up and in full effect....lots of kewl stuff...

Im right now testing out a Govibe Magnum, which is a USB DAC and combo. Its about 3"x1.5". It has gain control and a bass control....actually doesnt really overbloat the bass as i thought it would. It can give alittle thump to my E4s.

Also the Smyth Research gaming setup is INSANE....must try it cause its crazy kewl.

Also Ray Kimbers ISOMIKE recording are INCREDIBLE....im extremely impressed with the recordings. Do yourselves a favor and check out his ISOMIKE recordings...you will be blown away at the quality.

Also Kimber kables interconnect are pretty sweet...im in a toss in between keeping them or not.

Look forward to hearing more regarding your personal rig. I've been looking into a solid state amp, and I happen to have the Bel Canto CD-1 as source as well.
