DISCLAIMER: The below is a joke. A bit of parody, if you will. We would never put such insane requirements on something as simple as a Head-fi post. Please, when posting impressions follow a few simple rules. If you attended this meet, please place all feedback for it in this thread...

So a few weeks ago our good friend Grawk posted that he would be having a small meet at his house at the beach. Due to a simply amazing set of circumstances, this has turned into a full blown Head-fi bash. The list of people that just happened to be able to come from around the country and even...

The pre-party has landed. I'm sitting in San Francisco at the Toronado beer bar now with Voltron, Agile_one, and Cetoole. We just left a Giants game where your master organizer JP11801 was in attendance. We've got a couple days runup until CJ09 goes live but we'll make the best of it.

Jason and crew were planning on coming to the Tampa meet this weekend, but their office migration got in the way. We were sad, but we understand. As a consolation Sleek generously offered a set of Customs to raffle off. This covered our room expenses perfectly and the lucky member was relative...

Expect: Lots of pictures of drunk people and the sober people around the drunk people who are amused by the drunk people. Expect: Impressions of beer, wine, food, liquor, and women. Do not expect: Any talk of gear, until at least Monday. If anyone asks "Did you compare x piece of gear to y...

Google today has a link to an emulated search engine using their "oldest available index", from 2001. Did a search for "Headphone Amp" and the results were pretty amusing. The first result is for the "Headbanger Headphone Amp". "You can build a high-quality portable amplifier to boost the...

It's set for Nov 15th, in the beautiful but rambunctious Ybor district. Hotel: Hilton Garden Inn Ybor. Please make reservations before Oct 31st (SEE BELOW FOR UPDATE) Time: 1 PM to 6 PM Gear: Lots of it Drink: Even more Concerts/other non-meet activities: Lots of stuff going on. If you're...

Don't look at me for impressions, I'm just the thread-starter. By doing so I guess I've sanctioned this thing as a Florida meet, being that we have 2.8 members in attendance. I'm usually more strict about these things, but I'm too tired to argue right now. Enjoy those meet credits, they entitle...

As these things go, I've lost my installation disc and recently did a reformat. Creative's stupid website didn't help me out, they've got an update for the software that requires the original to be installed already. Also they've got 32 bit and 64 bit Vista versions, but I'm still on XP. Seems...

...And steals their lunch money. Yes, it has begun. The meet room has been established, most of the gear is set up, and we've already consumed several barrels of beer and whiskey. The late nighters are rough and ready for an impressions thread to start spewing their drunken musings. As usual...

So my Corda 2Move has a great little feature where you can use a USB connection either for feeding the DAC and power, or just for power. The problem is that you set which you want by an internal jumper, which requires taking the amp apart to get to. I would like to be able to switch back and...

Ordered a 2Move from Todd on Saturday, shipped Monday and on my doorstep today. Just hooked it up and I'm trying it with my HD-650. On the other hand, another sponsor who will go unnamed but will become obvious has been in Processing mode on my ATH-ESW9's since Thursday, until just today...

Not quite exactly true, but they've set one date. It's May 5th, in West Palm Beach Florida. The Head-fi National Meet (CanJam) is the preceding weekend, in Ft Lauderdale. All you Radiohead fans who won't be getting a local show, or who even want to catch them on multiple dates, consider...

Mayberry's Trippin Balls: Fairfax, CA Cross-Coastal Meet That's right, the Florida crew has invaded lovely Fairfax. This infamous town we've known as "Mayberry on Acid" for the last few months has officially dropped a dose. Currently present in Voltron's gorgeous rustic home in the hills...

My roommate has a set of Infinity Acoustic Reference 1.5 speakers. He's looking for a good power solution. Right now he's got a Kenwood early 90's power amp, but no preamp. He's using his Audigy 2 and windows volume control for the volume.... Yah, I'm teaching him some audiophile ways. He'd...

Ok so I just finished this wonderful little single player campaign in the new game Stranglehold. It's a third person action shooter directed by John Woo and starring Chow Yun Fat. At first look, this game was really awful. The mechanics of play are something like Max Payne mixed with a...

The video that champions Bob Dylan as the writer of every popular song in the last 35 years. Watch for Joan Baez' amazing performance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSf5q3wrgnk&feature=dir

Well we here in Florida are holding a sad event this day. Our good friend JP11801, AKA Johnny Numbers, Num-nuts, or New Guy, is moving to the far side of the world, aka San Francisco. We raided his house today and in the interest of keeping it Head-fi related we're listening to some gear. The...

A few nights ago I watched Buffalo '66. I was hit by a strange combination of elements that can only be defined as random. And by random , I mean a completely unexpected turn that has a high amusement factor. Suddenly it was like the hand of God or fate or just the King of Randomness reached...

Hey all, I've been out of the movie loop for a while, let my Netflix go on hold and I just haven't kept up. I rarely keep track of the one nighter indie stuff that comes through the local small theatres, so I don't know what's even out there right now. Anything really good lately in the foreign...

I decided to finally go get a surround receiver to tie everything in my house together. I've already got a an old Marantz receiver with multiple ins and outs, and a Fid Audio Quintete for 3/2 stereo switching, but I wanted to really get everything linked up to everything else. I have a set of...

Why did I never know about this album? I'd randomly heard the name here and there, but never paid attention. I have a lot of old records that came to me when I bought out big collections from cool old guys, and some of it I haven't really gone through yet. The cover of this one didn't offer me...

As the title says, I'm wondering where others around here come to intimately know an album. You know, that point where you anticipate every note and know every word, that point of pure comfort with the music. I know I find it hard with the wealth of music I have available to make myself...

Ok so last night I ended up getting a Papa Johns special. Xtra large specialty with a free medium one topping and breadsticks, $17. Shared the large with my friend and his dad, ate the medium and some of the breadsticks today. Yeah, bad news already. So then my friend calls me up and wants to go...
