First of all, thanks to alphones, the audio room, and anyone else involved with organizing the meet. Of course thanks to Audeze as well for sending us the LCD 3 to have at the meet.
Just a few impressions of gear I tried at the meet:
LCD 3/2
The LCD 3 comparative to the LCD 2(rev-1 I believe), my impression is the low end bass has better accuracy, highs were stronger and more noticeable, sound stage was slightly better (3d ish). Not sure how much burn in time the LCD 3 had prior to the meet. alphones mentioned they were fairly new. Definitely improvement over the LCD 2, however not sure if I would spend 2x the price over the LCD 2 for the LCD 3.
HD 800
Overall, very nice sounding headphones. This is probably one of my favorites cans at the moment. The mid's and high's are very smooth. Bass is slightly light but accurate. Sounded very good matched with Jeff Graw's Grace 903 amp.
Audio Space Mini Galaxy 1
The adjustable negative feedback is fairly interesting. What did everyone else think of this amp/DAC? I barely remember trying this amp/dac at the meet. Might have to stop by The Audio room again to try it out. Read the 6moons review the other day.

Grado(modded)
I was very impressed with the custom work alphones did on his SR60i's. Definitely lots of time and effort put into customizing those cans.
I liked Jeff Graw's modded HF1's as well. Very comfortable with the Beyerdynamic ear pads.
HiFiMan HE-6
I left when the HE-6 showed up. What did everyone think of this headphone? How did it compare to the LCD 2, LCD 3, and HD 800?
Overall, lots of cool gear at the meet. It was nice trying out different gear and talking to everyone there!
