I have been using the Heimdall with the Audeze LCD-2 Rev 2 for several years and have had no issues.

Thanks. I hope to have a great time there. I've had mixed results driving the LCD2 Rev 2 with valved amps. Most affected is the bass.

Welcome. You'll have a great time.

I'll be at RMAF.

When where is the next Meet.

Buy the Nordost Heimdall from a dealer who also offers burn in service using the Nordost VIDAR cable conditioner. Burn in problem solved.

I posted some photos on canmeets at Facebook, too. Great to see old friends and new faces at the meet.

Reversing phase isn't the only path to better sound ;>)

Just a few photos from the meet.     Handsome stack of electronics.     Spent some pleasant time with the Stax system which was representative of the best from electrostatics.       Musiqboy's Rednet/Theta/Taboo kit was enthralling. Spent lots of time with it using familiar...

Yup, just show up. Try the equipment,.with the permission of the owner. Not complicated. You'll enjoy the time spent with like minded folk. Buy gear when you're ready, then share it at meets as you please. We have been meeting quarterly. Don't see that changing soon.

@Mediahound Willful ignorance is not a substitute for experience or empirical exploration. A USB cable makes an audible difference.

Rubbish. Try JRiver and decide for yourself.

Thanks Muziqboy

I bought the KEF M500 at the California Audio Show because the initial impressions were good, the build quality excellent and the offer of a special show price. Brought them to the meet sealed. Opened the box and gave them a listen at several stations. All good, even without a lot of time on them.

The Kung Pao Tofu bowl at the Lagoon Tiki bar was very good. Decent onion rings, too.
