A Tale of Two Florida Mini Meets - The Impression Thread

[oicdn]

The ride was brutal. I got home and felt sick cause I didn't eat all day. I got home at 9pm. I take that back, I had a payday on the way home, lol.

Anyhow, here are the pics, and I'll give my impressions after the pics.



























My highlight(for portables), was the LaRocco compined with those Equation Audio RP21...holy hell. It had the thump (not bloat) of the DT770, with the airy-ness of the 990...it'shonestly a GREAT can. If you combine that with a GV6 or Porta Corda...you have an AWESOME and cheap work rig.

And I can't leave without saying how AWESOME that Denon TT and Single power was. Listening through HD600's, you're in heaven. I can;t imagine listening through some Darth Beyers or PS1's...I would probably faint, lol.

I'll give a semi-formal review of everything shortly...but I thought I'de get some pics up asap...well, I coulda got them up last night, but I was so sickly and hungry, I got some food and liquid and went to bed....

It sounds as good as it looks! Probably better now that he has the Grado cart.

Yeah I just got it back to my house. It's size isn't a bad predictor for its weight. I haven't weighed it but I'd guess about 40 lbs.

I'm not buying it. For all I know that could be Matt, Miguel or one of the new guys with a unibrow drawn in.

I would like to think Matt for setting this up. It was great meeting a buch of guys with whom I have been exchanged PMs for a while, like Nate.

I almost ordered those very ones after reading this thread a few weeks back:

Techflex Multifilament in Europe?

I convinced myself that I didn't need anymore headphones, but now you guys got me wanting them again. After all, I did sell my Proline 2500s and my HD580s and I haven't bought anything new in a while, right?
