Not another Florida thread! Ft. Lauderdale Dec 5th, 09

post #1 of 63
Thread Starter 

DISCLAIMER: The below is a joke. A bit of parody, if you will. We would never put such insane requirements on something as simple as a Head-fi post.


Please, when posting impressions follow a few simple rules.


If you attended this meet, please place all feedback for it in this thread. Make sure to include your answers to all the following questions in your feedback. If you are the attendee, you only need to answer questions for the first form on the page, "Form 1". When you make a new post for yourself from within this thread, use the "quote" button and then highlight only the top form, Form 1". You can type your answers where it says "PLACE ANSWER HERE". After you leave the meet, I will fill out feedback on "Form 2" and post that in your feedback thread. If you do not have a feedback thread, I will start one for you. Thank you.


Form 1 -- FOR THE ATENDEE TO FILL OUT FEEDBACK ABOUT THE HOST AND THEN GIVE TO THE HOST

Head-Fi member: Tyrion - The Host

Graciously allowed the following to attend his party:

Head-Fi member: YOUR NAME HERE - THE ATENDEE

1) SATISFACTION

a) On a scale of 1 being worst and 10 being best, how would you rate this entire meet from start to finish? PLACE ANSWER HERE

b) Would you do business with HOST again in the future? PLACE ANSWER HERE

2) GEAR IMPRESSIONS

a) ATTENDEE should provide details about any gear listened to, including any information on vintage, possible mods done, and serial numbers.

b) ATTENDEE must describe his or her mood and state of sobriety at the time of listening.

c) ATTENDEE may then give their honest thoughts on the quality of said gear. If the HOST can prove that your praise is a result of 'SHILLING', you may be flogged at a future meet.

3) PICTURES

a) ATTENDEE is encouraged to post pictures but must post in a resolution that is conciliatory to the thread reading experience. Larger pictures may be posted by the ATTENDEE but thumbnails are mandatory for resolutions over 800X600.

b) ATTENDEE must post a mix of gear pictures and candid shots of the other meet attendees.

c) ATTENDEE is expected to check any potentially embarrassing candid photos with the potentially incriminated party. Blackmail is also an option.

4) NOTES & COMMENTS:
Please leave any additional notes or comments if you would like, i.e. things HOST could do to make the transaction go better in the future. i.e. any additional things you would like to say about the transaction or the HOST. PLACE ANSWER HERE


Thank you very much for taking the time to fill out HOST's feedback. HOST will always reciprocate the same level of detail when SELLER leaves feedback for the ATTENDEE. If ATTENDEE has already paid for the item, HOST has already left feedback (in the form of "Form 2" below) for the ATTENDEE in the ATTENDEE's feedback thread.

With all this clamoring and hundreds of people waiting to hear how the meet went . . . I've got nothing to offer. Except pictures. For now.

Setting up:




























This Qualia is Sponge-Worthy

Listening gets rolling:














Stupid New Guy had the K1000s on backwards.


So we straightened him out.

The Pico Slim made a splash upon arrival and was passed around eagerly all day, except when Mike and Vicky walked off with it for extended auditions. And before people flip out, the "input" and "phones" labels were switched on the prototype but will not be that way on the final model.













But not everybody was inside. Dom and JP were in a fog.




And then this really bad Michael Jackson impersonator came in wearing two gloves. Rookie error.

It took a while, but 1117 eventually pulled out much of the history of high-end Grados and set up a killer rig.


















Zu Audio were gracious enough to drive their van all the way from Tennessee with loads of cool gear. I failed to take pics of the Zu Room, but they had a second setup in the meet room. Thanks Zu, everything sounded great!

The Grado HP1 and HeadAmp Pico Slim looks ace, and more as well of course.
Any impressions of the Pico Slim?
post #13 of 63
the slim is very impressive....extremely small package...great little case to keep it safe. Its a nice clean sound. I only had a chance to use it with my SE530s. However, its just what the doctor ordered for the shures. I really couldnt believe how small it was. Its a great amp in a tiny package with HELLA amounts of battery life.

Great bass, FANTASTIC highs, really nice soundstage....its a winner imo. The size of it is going to attract the people who liked the small package of the Xin micro.

I really love the build of it. Its solid little amp, basically what you come to expect from Headamp. At first, i didnt think to highly of the input on one side and the output on the other. I have to say, i was pleased with the setup this way. It removes the clutter from the LOD cable and the headphone jack at one end of the portable rig.

More impressions of other rigs coming....im really enjoying the HF2 right now with the Pico DAC/AMP to my lappy. Im soo tired but i cant seem to put it down. I havent even unpacked my rig let alone set it up =( so this will keep my music craving. Thanks to Al big time, he knows why =) BLUE YOURE MY BOY!!!!

Looks like another great SoFlo meet.

Wish I could've been there instead of being gang raped by overload of work and upcoming jury duty this week.

Thanks for the early pics.
