My friend lives in Edmonton but he doesn't have a car.(sad)   I may consider joining the meet, though I'm not enthusiastic with headphones and iems any more :)

My friend in Canada should be interested, I'll definitely tell him.   Still haven't decided the date yet? How about Apr.18 or 25?

Great meet indeed:) Here's some of the photos I took, wish I can attend the next meet and see you guys again.   (GS-X MKII from the headamp sounds very nice when paired with K1000)       (Garage1217 really has some great sounding amps)     (The rare LCD-1! :o )    ...

iTunes' ui is fantastic, but I find the sound of it "dumb". I get used to Jriver on my PC anyway, and it has a better sounding. On Mac I think it's a different story, amarra+iTunes is a better choice.

I strongly wish I can listen to the HEK for once. Did anyone attend the New York Hifiman official meet last weekend?

Wonderful stuff. Since you will bring the ppp, I think I don't need to bring my p5. It's a 24kg monster...      Very interested in the Modi and Magni combo, I'm always curious to know why it's such a popular choice in head-fi.

Great chance, I've never heard BA in the past.

That's nice. I previously used the BAP1000 as a pre amp and Little_dot Mk6+ as a power amp to drive the K1000. However, the Mk6+ is not a good choice to drive the k1000 so I sold it. BAP1000 is a good pre amp for K1000, but it still need a great power amp to get better sound.

Got it

I'll do my best to bring the power conditioner there.   However, if there's no amps with 4-pin xlr output, my K1000 won't work... I can't bring the amp and the power conditioner at the same time since they are too huge.   The source could be a problem too. My source is a 32 kg cdp, so...

Sounds great. BTW, why you buy several K550s? Does K550 has different versions?

Very interesting. I think I'm able to attend.   If you guys do need more power conditioners and power strips, I can bring my power plant p5 and QLS F1000. The problem is the P5 is a little bit heavy to carry.   I currently have the DT880(600ohm), K1000, Legend-R Ciem with TWAU and NT-6 Ciem...

Strongly wish to go! 

OMG, incredible! Thanks for sharing your experience
