1st Big thanks to Tyrion ,his family for all the hard work & the rest of the gang who organized & helped make this a meet to Remember for all time.
2ndThis was my 3rd national meet that I attended & they keep getting better & better.First & foremost getting to hang out & party(They know how to throw a party in FLA) with the
most interesting & friendly people you can ever meet,from vendors to members.I all consider freinds.
Some members have said in past threads that the cost of going to national meets,they would rather buy gear instead.
While yes the meets are only a couple of days & they could enjoy the gear for a lot longer.The experience of attending & memories are priceless.
Only Downside is the time passes which seems a blink of the eye,but thats what happens when you are having fun.
3rd Some Gear impressions.
Highlight of the meet for me was the Smyth headphone setup,just unreal
how good it was.I use the pioneer 1000 Xbox dolby headphone setup to watch movies,the Smtyh setup is lightyears ahead.
I won't go into details as a lot has been written already.
I want one
Bad
TTvj307a amp with the 808.2 15k player was at the top of the game,
this amp seems like a lot of money but it is a all in one amp(no need for multible amps) that is able to drive pretty much all dynamic phones very well.
I listened to the K1000,balanced 650,GS1000 & K701,all of them sounded
excellant.
E/C balancing act 300b/45 amp. Another winner & on my list to own when Craig builds it.I love the Zana which I own.
It was also great to finally meet Craig in person,I have spoken to him phone a number of times in the past.
Headrooms computer speaker setup complete with stands,For all who have a big desk & can listen through speakers nearfield while on a computer,this is a must have.Pretty much takes out the room equation as you sit so close,& get all the advantages of a good sounding speaker system only smaller.
Singlepower Oddessy,I listened to this & the Sonic.
I liked the sonic but fell in love with the oddessy,reminds me of the Transparent preamp I had a chance to listen to a couple of hours in my system,only sounded better to me.more body.
I Need to audition this in my own speaker system,I told Mikhail to just ship it to me from Canjam
,but I won't hold my breath .I will have to Hijack it in the fall if Mikhial brings it to the next NY meet in Nov
.
Justins BHSE was mighty fine sounding & looking good ,can't wait to see the finished product.I also got to spend sometime with the Pico,I liked.
Very detailed with wide sounstage clean sounding .good match for the
UE11s which is on my Radar.
Rsa B52 I sat down & took a listen with Rays balanced R10s & I can see why so many love the combo,I always enjoy listening to Rays amps good stuff.
Nates Menace amp,I almost missed it but did finally listen to it.
All I can say is VERY,VERY nice nate.you did a great job on this one,even with the yellow jumper cable
.
The Headfiers of the years system consisting of Extreme Platinum,exempler denon 2900 /R10 setup was also struting its stuff.Vicki your system is better then you give it credit,Mid Fi No way
.
Most would kill for a system like yours.
More Later!
I felt like I just got to Can Jam,next thing you Know you are typing impressions.Time Flies when you are having
Fun.
