I agree with everything Barra said... If only we could get the sound quality to go to the next level and keep the musical signature experience.

Thanks Big Poppa & all for this great meet. Thanks to Equus and Ham for bringing their Liquid Fires - really cool. My praises also go out to the HE-1000 which provided an illuminating audio experience. The HD800 have fallen gracefully but not far from the top ranks (I still have much love for...

I will be there for breakfast. Granola Cereal sounds nice.

Bringing HE-400 and HD650 and ODAC+O2 DAC/Amp

I will be bringing my HiFiman HE-400, odac+o2, possibly a Bose OE, AKG K-44, and maybe a Grado SR-60i if I can convince my girlfriend to bring it. I have no laptop, will need a hook up. I'm excited!

I'll see if I can make, if possible and bring some Grados.
