Well,.. just got back from the Studio in SF. A bunch of calls, next day air to Paul Stubblebine Mastering in SF and a last minute drive secured the master tape that I had at Headfest. Hopefully you guys will let the folks from Bay Area Audiophile Society in to check it out 'cause I promised to blow their minds!
See you in about 14 hours

Wow, dedication. And here I am whining about packing up all my crap before I sleep tonight and hauling it 30 minutes south ;p

a pretty white envelope was resting on my door when i came home! and what a surprise! 3 cheers for Dr. Xin! hurray! hurray! hurray!

you can add THREE Xin amps to the list

Supermicro IV
Super mini IV
Reference

they are all quite beautiful. the micro is clear blue with sharp corners and the reference is jet black. opening up the back is funny, the cap is huge!

Asr, is there space for a little Xin corner? I could leave my imod or ipod/turbodock there to be used as a source.

the reference doesn't have the 1/4 " ouputs, but its a reference! and beggars can't be choosers (we are definitely beggars
biggrin.gif
) I'll try to leave my grado 1/4" -->1/8" adaptor there next to them all, but if someone has a higher quality adaptor they can bring, it might be nice for recabled cans.

im coming from san francisco, so i probably wont be there till 10 or 11....

If anyone has interest in buying a PS Audio GCHA at the meet, speak now (pm me). I am willing to let it go for 650 if I get to avoid shipping and stuff like that, but I do not want to bring it unless I am letting go of it since its heavy as all hell.

some bad news- It looks like I won't have my desktop and X-fi setup as planned, my parts didn't come in time. I still will have a lappy that I'll just pair with Malos's Stello instead. Sorry about that :/.

Anyways, I'm really excited to hear all of this tomorrow!

Did this meet actually end up happening? Because I don't see any follow-ups to how great it was. Maybe this was around the time of the outage.

I missed a meet someone was setting up in... uhh, somewhere north of Fremont, can't remember what city, but the outage killed that meet. Defenitely interested in another meet.
