The Salt Lick is better!

I can see why you like them Steve and I have to say that it took me a while to mentally adjust to the presentation. They sound so polite relative to the Audeze and seriously bass "less" but when you give them their dues, they really shine. Bass remains a little on the lesser side but there is no doubt that they can present any type of music with alarming clarity. I also agree with you about the mids, they remind me an awful lot of the vintage ortho mids ; just really well balanced with a dollop of life. As for your rig, well it is seriously lacking in tooobz but gorgeous as hell.

You guys sure know how to do it up right.
Gotta say my Friday night experience at Salt Lick was sub-par, but maybe it was a lack of tequila. And kudos to Chris for that video - the still shot makes me look like the Sith, charming a young and impressionable luvdunhill...
Oh, and shout out on the pics - while i have shown them to my wife (proving I was at least *somewhere* listening to headphones), she still just can't accept we would drive hundreds of miles to listen to headphones. Funny, she was ok taking a ship thousands of miles to the Caymans to listen to McManus's headphone gear... guess that was different.
Max and MT: Sounds like a great meet went down. Truly appreciated the sense of camaraderie and vibe that came through in your meet comments and rig evaluations.
Having seen you both lurking over in the vintage rig forum from time to time, was surprised somewhat to note that nobody seemed to have brought forth a silver-faced, knob and switch bedecked, blue light flaming behemoth to drive the pleathora of Audezes there...well, what with the wicked weather (with 1" an hour, seems like the meet was here in the Pacific NW!), why would a fool want to risk a hernia running between the car and the front door with a larger than life Pioneer SX-1250, no?
One thing I do agree: the LF-LCD-2 combo is a dream team....but the Stax reviews of late have me hankering for a serious shootout of my own at an upcomng meet here in Seattle next month....Sachu loves his Staxes now and he has ears I respect....
Congrats on making the Home page! Austin rocks!
Aww man! I missed this!
I would have loved to get together and check out some gear. I would have shared my setup as well. I guess I'll have to wait until next time.
