Kim's first impression post is certainly awesome and superb at relaying the experience of a smaller/comfier scale, friendly Head-Fi meet, from a first-timer's perspective. I'm glad it worked out well the way all of you are telling.
 
I certainly never expected we'd end up with such high-end gear, quite much variety in brands, a small contest/draw, a cake, when we --me, Glitched, and KimLaroux-- first wanted to get together in that old thread, previously unnoticed.

Not sure of an LCD2 pairing with the EF6 

 
The Bryston (or from current impressions, the mjolnir) seem the way to go

 
I sort of feel like a terrible person for typing this... but the LCD-2 was still a bit bright for me and the highs seemed just a biiit rough. I guess I like super dark sound sigs and it's been making upgrading pretty tough! I love love loved what the EF6 did to my ESW9 and those are already pretty bassy with rolled off treble. Not quite sure where to go from here but I think a good tube amp is probably my best bet.

If you like rolled off treble than I guess a tube amp is definitely for you.
Personally I found the LCD2 to be too congested/dull with a tube amp while the HD800 softens up just enough to be more musical with a good tube amp.

IMO there was a huge difference between the rev1 and rev2 LCD2s at the meet; the r1 is a little too dark, and the r2 a little too aggressive. The LCD3s were just right in the treble.

Still can't get the files over >.> Very aggravating.

Can't you find a PC at your school that has a Firewire port? My 5 years old Dell laptop has a Firewire port. 

 
And how comes the school doesn't already have the equipment to copy over the footage from the camera? I would have expected them to offer the service as a prerequisite for the use of the camera. A camera that can't transfer it's recording over is as useless as a camera can be.

Apparently firewire ports are only common on macs nowadays (and old computers).
Being marianopolis, apparently we're all expected to have macs...
My old HP desktop has a firewire port so I'll try that.

C'mon any updates with regards to the footage, Gabriel?

Still on the camcorder... If someone has a MAC with firewire this would be so much easier.

Good news.
I got all the footage =) I'll be uploading it when I get home =))))))))

Well there's all the footage I shot...
It'll finish uploading by the time most of you wake up.

Wicked, anxious for the video to be processed by youtube.
 
In other news, I was so impressed with the HE-6 that I decided to get myself a pair today. Now do I keep the HE-500's or sell to fund school books?

The problem is more the 40kb/s upload speed with bell even though I'm promised around 150kb/s.
