  So, just to confirm...Coolsprings Brewery on Friday night?
 
Also, if anyone wants to split a room I ended having to grab a large suite at the Microtel due to very slim pickings around the area this weekend. 

poor thing having to "slum it" at a microtel,

Hi All,
   I just recently made this account.  It's a little last minute but I think I will try to attend this meet.  For anyone who was at the meet last spring, I'm the newbie that showed up with Sennheiser HD650's looking to listen to some other phones and compare.  Anyways,  I will bring my ZMF Blackwoods this time. Looking forward to it!

a suite at microtel means it has a coffee pot

All I can say is, bring some of your favorite CDs. This is not your granddad's CD player
wink.gif
(actually it might be, since he was VP of Magnavox - that is pretty cool)

But seriously, it does have a great sound to it. Gotta love some Multibit done right.

 
CDs? Whassat? :wink:
 
I'll try to remember to bring some of those old silver discs with me... Most of the stuff I have left after getting almost everything stolen a few years ago is obscure metal albums or something that is probably roughly equal in appeal for most people, so I doubt anybody else would enjoy 'em, but hey!

No worries on the hiatus or the K7XX... Given that you got that at a previous meet, I'm kinda glad SWMBO is keeping it in the family :p
 
Hadn't heard of the UpTone or the MSR7, so that'll be cool to check out! There was a thread where a guy did a pretty in-depth comparison of a number of different USB reclockers/regenerators on Computer Audiophile a while back, and I've had at least a passing interest in them since. 
 
  I posted some DIY cable porn over on the DIY thread. They'll be with me this weekend. Enjoy.

Very nice!! Particularly that color scheme... We'll have to make Kevin and Eric try it out and blackmail them with pictures of them in The Greatest Team Colors Of All Times And Places And Dimensions And Conceivable Realities And Whatnot. *strokes beard and cackles evilly*
 
  If anyone has a Wyrd they're looking to unload, I may be interested.

 
See, this is where you're a stronger, better human being than I am. I got interested in something like the Wyrd a while back, and did an absurd amount of reading and lurking on various websites, and eventually caught myself thinking something along the lines of 'well, if I don't go with the full Offramp with upgrades and separate power supply, then what's the point?' And then I smacked myself. 
 
You have an ability to restrain yourself that I find admirable and unattainable, sir. Everything I do ends up 80 miles past the border of Absurdistan, and I'm thinking about selling body parts for something insane and unnecessary. Sigh. 
 
  That's the "main" chain, I still need one for work. :)

 
This guy... Ha!
 
Mr. Moody mines yours, think the Ether C would be a great trade item, LOL...

 
[I think he's buying it....] 
 
Although yeah, by whatever means necessary-- the Ether C is flat-out LEGIT. Have you seen Tyll's video review on them yet? He's not one to gush (a certain Ultrasone review comes to mind), but he sure can't seem to help it here. Just a fantastic headphone, full-stop. 
 
Hey All, just heard from Will at Linear Tube Audio, they are sending me a MicroZOTL Amp and Linear Power Supply to share with everybody at the Meet!

I am really looking forward to hearing it and comparing it to some of the Cavalli high end amps.

 
That's awesome!! Given my rather Loch-Ness-Monster-y attendance patterns on HF, I have to admit I was unfamiliar with them. Just did a bit of Googling about, and that sucker looks REALLY interesting!! Thanks for making that happen, Kevin!!

Yassir! Cool Springs Brewery starting at 5:30pm, and ending when the adjacent tables hear the phrase "treble articulation" enough for them to actually complain to the restaurant's management. 
 
I'll also have my Modi up for sale. Glad I kept the original box.

 
Does this mean you like your O2 better? Or just thought the Modi would be an easier sale? 
 
I am feeling a little diva-ish ATM. But I'm slumming it for the good of the event.

Hey, we appreciate whatever it takes to get you up here with us again, man :wink:

Very cool, man!! Great to have you back!! Gotta ask you-- what's the name about? (Confession: I absolutely love the show Archer, and as a result of a minor ongoing joke therein, I think of that show whenever I hear or read about ocelots... I should probably get out more.)

Ha!! Lookit Mr. Bourgeoisie over here... :p
 
I've stayed at some pretty awful places over the years. On a work trip in North Carolina once, our entire group (of maybe 30-40 people staying at that one hotel) had to cancel and go somewhere else when two rooms had bloodstains on the carpet. Not kidding. And the last place (in the US) I booked with my dad, there was a massive, gaping hole in the backside of the door to the bathroom (where someone, I assume, attempted to kick their way through the door) that was halfassedly plastered at the bottom, making it actually look even worse. So when I get to stay at The Royal Sonesta in New Orleans (or some of the swanky places my company used to get us for leadership conferences), I find myself very appreciative of their charms, and lack of apparent murder-scene accoutrements. 
 
And a quick update for everyone from Woo Audio: they are going to be sending the new second-generation WA7 (already en route) and the brand-new WA8 Eclipse!! I've gotta say, these guys sure have always been absolutely stellar to deal with, and have really gone out of there way to support us-- if you get a chance, please give these suckers a listen! (If you can drag me away from them, of course). :D
 
One more quick thing: I fat-fingered the time on the front page as 11-6, when it should've been 11-5, so I've updated it now.  Hope this doesn't cause anybody any headaches!! :s

Um...did no one realize that this is Masters weekend? Come on, this is THE golf event of the year!! It's not just some stupid football game or something.

Have you ever been?  That'd be a bucket list item for me.

Holy crap, I hope the Vols aren't playing, oh, wait.
 
I still hope they are not playing, just saying!

You'll be able to get back to Georgia on Sunday in time for them to present the green blazer to the winner.  It will all be good.

That's awesome! I am not sure what kind of metal you have, but I can dig it.

Does this mean you like your O2 better? Or just thought the Modi would be an easier sale? 


And I am selling the Modi (not Magni). The O2 is fine. I am selling the Modi because the Denon DA-500 is that dang good. This mid-90's DAC is vastly superior to any decoder I've ever owned. There are others that are better (Yggy for one), but this box kicks, espcially for what I paid for it.

Haha, I have been asked that a few times (I have this handle on a few sites).  It's not about much really.  The Ocelot part comes from a character named Revolver Ocelot in the game Metal Gear Solid.  I don't know about the Fake part, I guess I just thought it sounded cool and went with it.  I'm not the real Revolver Ocelot so it works I guess.  I am also a fan of the show Archer though it didn't factor into the name.
