ha! Great memory!!! :-) Maybe he went back to work.....

Yeah, I think we had between 12-15 guys last time. I just don't have the space (and table room) to do more than 5-6 in total.

Hey guys, I can host an event at my office, but I have limited space. Especially table space. I could probably host something after hours during the week for about 4-5 people, plus myself. I hosted it last time, about 2.5 years ago, at my old house.

I hosted the event about 2 years ago and I think we ended up with around 10-12 guys at the house. I wish I could host again, but it may be difficult as we moved houses and I don't have a window when my wife and kids will be out of town again.

For me the biggest benefit is being able to manage my music more easily. Oh, and Pandora and other streaming services that just aren't available on an AK device. That's a huge huge huge benefit, at least for me.

I have now had my unit for a few weeks, and here are my findings:   The Good:   Wow. The sound is similar to my HiFi M8 and I like their 'house' sound   It works wonderfully well with my JH16 CIEM, SE846, LCD-2 and anything in between. No hiss for IEMs and great gain for higher impedance...

$79 is totally reasonable and I myself would pay up for the super amp option.

*That* would completely make my day.

I am just thinking that we could frankenstein up a cable to go from the Skyn to an iPad to make the connection. Shouldn't be difficult for a DYI project.

Bad day over here, as I was changing out and testing cables for my JH16's and a pin broke off inside one of the IEMs. Anybody had this happen before, and how did you remove the broken pin? Time to call JH Audio, likely. :-(

I have tried restarting the device, and true to my IT background I tried another machine and replicated the issue on the 2nd machine. :-(

What sucks is I was hoping to max out the AK100II with 64+128GB worth of music, but now it looks like I am stuck with 128GB from the external memory card.

For some reason I am now having issues with transferring files over to the AK100II. After a few songs are sent over from my Mac using the Android File Transfer app, an error pops up saying "Could not copy file.."   I am trying to transfer music to the internal storage area, as I had no issues...

Anybody know of any alternative leather cases out on the market, other than what came with the AK100 II?

Do yourself a favor and locate the following tubes:   Mullard Voshkov Cifté   Each set should run you around $25, and the Mullar will be about $45 a set. Very different sound signatures, they all require 100+ hours of break-in and they are light years better than the standard ones.

No kidding! I am also selling my HD650's as well. Maybe a little little bit closer!?

Hey guys- I am selling my AK100 portable source if anybody is interested. I am moving done things to afford a new purchase. $500, which also includes a leather case.

Sorry for not taking more photos. I never really made it to the dining table to take proper photos of people and gear. I guess I was too busy slobbering all over the Stax gear. Next time I promise to do a better job.

I completely agree, and since I already own the LCD-2's I can see a Schiit setup in my future.

Hey everybody-   Thanks so much for taking the time to have gathering last night. And thanks for leaving behind all of the beer we didn't finish. Looks like I am going to be a busy man tonight. :-)   I look forward to our next meet up!   Andy              

Hey guys-   I am recirculating a new email to the group if I have your email address. We are moving the venue to my house, as my office won't have enough space for us. I prefer to not publish my home address online.   Andy

It was a 3-day holiday weekend and I haven't spend a second on email or the internet since Thursday. I would apologize, but it was a nice break!   :-)

I just created a new thread for our July 16 meet up:   http://www.head-fi.org/t/724716/houston-meet-up-july-16   Let's move the conversation over there. I am hesitant publicly state what we will all be bringing, just in case a Cavalli Audio device (gosh, I wish) shows up at the meet. :-)  ...

Howdy!   We are going to have a meet-up in the Memorial area of Houston on the evening of July 16, and so far we have around 5 of us who are interested. We are going to meet up at my office in the Memorial area. Please send me a PM if you are interested and have not contacted me already. I...

Hey everybody. Sorry for the silence, as I have been on a business trip for the past 10 days. I am back in the land of the internet and am heading home tomorrow. So far it looks like we have 3 people plus myself who are interested in July 16. I can start as early as 4pm.
