MEET IMPRESSIONS AND PICTURES - 2010 CanJam Chicago - Page 9

Well, I'm sorry it's over!  I had a great time today - but today I spent much more time talking to people than listening.  I did, however, bring my vinyl rig, as promised, and people seemed to dig it:

JVLGato enjoys some Dire Straits at 33 1/3:

SoupRKnowa, Spritzer, Duggeh, JVLGato, and Duggeh:

Uncle Erik, and yours truly:

I spent a bunch of time with the HE-6.  There are two versions, and neither are the final, which will be somewhere in between the two.  Both versions sounded very good, although I had a preference for one of them, which several other folks did not share   They do look like the HE-5 on the outside EXCEPT the housing is black leather covered, VERY cool:

The final raffle and end of show - a good crowd:

This was a great event.  Thanks again to the Chicago organizing crew - you guys did a terrific job.  Thank you so much!

It was great to see all my Chicago head-fi buddies again - looking forward to the next meet.  It was so nice to meet so many head-fiers from other places - Boomana, Uncle Erik, KWKarth, Thread, SoupRKnowa, BoilermakerFan - it was great chatting with you guys.  Spritzer, Duggeh, Drew, Todd, Fang, and Jude - nice to have a brief chat with you gents as well - wish we'd had more time.  Edwoon, NikonGod, SWT61, and so many others whose screennames I forgot and who I met just very briefly - it was nice to meet so many great folks.  Apologies if I forgot anyone!

Such a great meet - wish I had had more time!

I did, actually, and was a little surprised how good it sounded - it was an excellent pairing.  I have not heard Headroom gear in a long time - and I came away impressed.

I saw the measurements that Tyll made at the show of the LCD-2 - exceptionally flat from 20 Hz to 1 kHz, and then smoothly falling response below that - so that 20 kHz was significantly down versus the 1kHz level,  There were no major peaks.  Smooth, but definitely downward-sloping.

I also thought the LCD-2 sounded good on the Cavalli Liquid Fire, but I did not think that sounded better than they do on my Leben - in fact I think the Leben is better with the LCD-2.  JMO, of course.

Hi, can you be a little more specific about the downward curve above 1 kHz? How far is the rolloff? 3-5-10 db? More? Less? You said it was smooth, but is a steep?

Any info would be great. Thanks!

Let's discuss it in the LCD-2 thread

Thanks man - I had it paired with the RSA F-117 Nighthawk - sounded great.

Superfrag you were in the Lindberg tables room with us, right?  I remembered your real name, but not your screen-name (assuming that's you)

Your pics are great by the way...other than the one of me looking at my turntable with the headphones only half on my head
