5th Annual Wicked Schiit Meet - New England - March 22, 2025

[Mullet]

I'll also have my 64Audio U12Ts on me if someone wants to listen. I'll only have medium and large size tips with me, so keep that in mind.

Also, I'm super stoked to get to listen to get to listen to the Aegis that @wizzman121 is bringing. The Calderas will be my next headphone that I'll snag in the near-ish future. So it'll be a treat to listen to them on the Aegis, which I'll also be hopefully building in the not too distant future.

I'd also like to listen to more of the Meze headphones. I see someone will have the Meze Empyrean II. I'm hoping some other Meze are brought as well, so I can compare and contrast.

Finally, I made a decision... I fired up my Cavalli EHHA Rev A, which has been shelved for quite a while, and made some minor tweaks to the protection circuits and all is well. So this we're going all in on the EHHA. I'll save the KSA-5 for next time.

Looks like I should be there at about noon, I'll bring my Meze Lirics and maybe my Lyr+ with Lin Lai tubes to contrast against the stock?
Anyway can't wait!

Attendance was a bit low perhaps, but the equipment, people that showed, and gc335 our host and Schiit (nice lunch too) were all terrific, more much more detail to come.

Thank you all.

Quick Take:

My favs: ZMF Caldera Open, Stax X-9000, HD-800 JAR
Also really good: Tungsten (both), D8000, HD-580 JAR, HD-600 JAR, E3, ZMF Verite Open

Excellent: DIY Aegis, Stellaris DNA
Really good: Violetric 222 & 550

Missed lots of gear, like the Empy, and most of the ZMF's... so if not listed here probably missed it.

I had a great time at my first meet. Will definitely try to make this a yearly thing as long as it keeps going. Personally it was really cool to see that my headphones have not nearly hit their performance ceiling and with the right amp I can really get the performance I’m wanting out of them.
