Unless something happens, I'll be there. Sorry I missed the last one. I was recovering from a procedure. That whole month was just not ideal for me at all. But I'll try to make the next one.

Very good chance I'll decide to come around and visit.

Just wanted to post a tidbit here that isn't meant to offend, annoy, or ruffle any feathers. Euforia was my dream amp for many years. I finally purchased it last year and I liked it. I did copious amounts of tube rolling on it, utilizing many NOS tubes, as well as many new production models as...

Hey, a lot of the younger crowd (myself included) love vintage models. I have friends in their 20s who hunt down discontinued and obscure headphones, including older variants of current production models. There's a thrill to the chase, haha.

Discontinued models are fun to hunt and track down. Feels very satisfying when you find one in great condition for cheap. I've also found that I rather enjoy discontinued vintage models a lot more than certain newer production models in much higher price brackets. I plan to hunt down an AKG...

I will be bringing: Focal Clear OG -- now discontinued and replaced with the MG variant, which isn't as good, in my humble opinion. Sennheiser HD800S Sennheiser HD650 -- a vintage one from a bygone era of Sennheisers. Sennheiser HD540 Reference Gold 600 Ohm -- early serial number, 600 Ohm...

I know that it might be an unpopular opinion around head-fi but I genuinely was disappointed over time in my Abyss 1266 Phi TC. I auditioned the original on a visit to NYC many years ago, so you know what they had it hooked up to some of the best of the best setups (for that time) and I liked it...

Honestly, I agree with this review of the Abyss 1266 Phi TC. I auditioned the original several years ago, had the Abyss 1266 Phi TC on demo (twice) for extended periods, and even owned the Abyss 1266 Phi TC for a while before I wanted to chuck it out a window. Amps / dacs used were: GS-X Mini...

@kilkil I've been dreaming about your whiskey sours (with the egg and everything!) since you first made me one. It was so good that it's been a year now and I still want them on the regular. I've ordered them at restaurants but it's never been the same. As far as alcohol goes, if the...

A Focal Utopia if I can get a demo unit to see how it sounds on my setup.

@DelsFan If you could come to the meet, that'd be lovely. I recently ordered a Feliks Euforia (it's in the mail now!) and it's been my dream amp for many years now. I used to have an entry-level Feliks tube amp -- the Espressivo MK II -- and it paired beautifully with my Bricasti M3h DAC. I...

Hey Tom, it's Lana. Add me + 1 to your guest list. It's always a pleasure to come to your place and I'm excited to go back.

What happened to the OG volume knob? Not that I don't think the door handle is aesthetic as heck.

I had the pleasure of hearing a custom built 2005 Kevin Gilmore Dynahi amp that @kilkil built, and let me tell you, it is the best headphone amplifier I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. I was ecstatic, wallet at the ready, to purchase this amp after I heard it. Unfortunately, custom...

Alright, I'm up. Gonna go wash my hair and get ready. It's a 1.5 hour drive or so for me. Sorry we overslept a bit. I meant to get up earlier. See y'all in a bit!

Awwww. Well, you and I live in the same town so let me know if you ever wanna let me give Utopia/Verite a listen. I have an Abyss you can hear.

Is anyone with a Utopia coming? I'd love to hear one again. It's been years and I haven't heard it on a proper chain.

Oh boy, a Bricasti M21. I'd love to try it with my tube amp.

Just wanted to pop in to say that I still plan on attending with my + 1, same as last time. Buke 9 -- Yes, I am bringing my Abyss TC! I almost sold it (family emergency, needed funds) but I took the listing down because things started to look up. I would love to hear your Verite because I've...

Several people have reached out to me and inquired about my lack of feedback on here. I am usually an Ebay seller and have sold a plethora of audio gear on there. If desired, I can provide proof of successful purchases and I have a 100% feedback rating on there. I sold my OG Empyrean, Focal...

Still for sale. Someone was going to commit to buy but backed out last minute.

Done

I am selling my Abyss 1266 Phi TC. I bought these in 2021, so, they are only a few months old. I bought them from Upscale Audio and can provide the invoice of my purchase from a few months ago. I babied the heck out of them and they are pristine. This is the lite version which comes with the...

However, I have to clarify something. This is my old description for these Stellias. I 100% know they were mine due the recognizable Ted Allen silver cable and the aftermarket gray carrying case & knitted headband: "Up for sale is a gently used Focal Stellia. Absolutely no issues with it. I...

This is my Stellia! I believe you bought it from me on Ebay. :) GLWS
