Western New York and a few displaced Canadians (impressions, too!)
Head-Fi Meet Impressions, Trade Show Reports, Factory ToursThis sub-forum will serve as an archive location of past Head-Fi Meet impressions, trade show reports and factory tours.
Western New York and a few displaced Canadians (impressions, too!)
This spot reserved for impressions from yesterday's relatively small meet. philodox and looser101 made their way down to my place from the Toronto area, and soloz2, veteran WNY meet-goer and cable-maker extraordinaire, also made the trip. We had a great time with lots of laughs and lots of really top notch gear. I'll be posting my own impressions and a few pics later tonight or possibly tomorrow, and I'm sure the other guys will chime in soon, as well.

Sorry for the wait. Uploading the pictures to Head-Fi now, first time I've done this. I usually use my FTP, but since reinstalling Windows I haven't set it up. The photochoping took longer than expected as well.

The Head-Fi photo gallery isn't exactly intuitive the first time around. Also my wife, Emily, came home which put a delay on things. Needed to catch up and have dinner.
Without further adieu, the pictures:
[OK, screw the photo gallery, can't figure out how to link the pictures in my post. Back to good old FTP.]
First, the people that made this happen.
philodox [Jason]
soloz2 [Jacob]
looser101 [Renato]

The Boyz... I'm listening to Jim's RS-1's and taking the picture.
Next, the gear.

Renato and Jacob's setups. Homebrew Aikido amplifier with modded Marantz source. Homebrew Millet Hybrid Max with modded Zhaolu.
Here is some clutter, but nesting in it a gem. Swt61's Chocolate Donut MkII's. Not sure why all of the pictures of them came out terribly, but this is the best one if you can believe it. I think Jim took some pictures as well, maybe he got a better shot.
A closer look at the MAX.
A closer look at the BOMB.
Another view of the table. You can see the ass-end of my rig.
I love this picture. Given my impressions at the meet, this is a view of things to come...
A front shot where you can see my whole setup. Without the help of Steve and Renato, it wouldn't look half this nice.
Jim's tower of power. This side of the apartment seems to be less photogenic unfortunately.
Most of the internal shots of Jim's creations were terrible, I deleted a bunch. These are the better ones. This is his balanced Opus with Ballsie output stage.
One the top of this picture you can see another balanced Opus with Zapfilter output stage that he is making for a mutual friend.

Captions updated. Impressions will have to wait until tomorrow unfortunately. Steve is going to kill me, but I need to spend time with Emily.
