Hey Destroysall,
What Amps did you enjoy with the D7000 the most on?
I have these cans & am looking for an Amp for these low 25 ohm cans.

Thanks glad you had fun!

meet was a blast.  being among like minded peeps is always a good thing.  excellent gear, excellent company and a massive sammich, seriously that thing was beyond 6foot.  biiiig shout out to chris (Godzilla aka.destroysall) and Joe(coolzo) for organizing.  and the two vendors that showed up, garage1217 and headamp, twas awesome seeing those guys.  the stax 009 with the blue hawaii was just epic.  i've decided my next purchase will be either the lcd-x or the project ember, just wow.  i need to brush up on my soldering skillz.
 
good times gents, always a good time.

Think more like this coming summer vs next year. We are planning on having another meet in either late May/early June. So stay tuned for more details. We will start another thread when talks officially begin. Cheers!

I heard them through a WA6, which was a great amp for them. If you are going to go for tube amps, definitely go with the hybrid and output transformer coupled amps and stay away from the OTL amps. I also think that solid state amps like the ones made by Schiit and Burson Audio should work fine too.
 
If I were to make a prime recommendation, I'd consider the WA6, WA6-SE, or the WA22.

Not a full range of HiFiMan headphones, or any LH Labs Pulse or smaller portable units at the meet?

 


I was there but like you, am waiting for my Pulse X to get in the mail. I'm thinking I won't see it until March There was quite a bit of portable gear there, its just not as big and fancy as the other stuff so it doesn't seem to make it into the photos.

Great meet everyone! I had a blast as always. Big thanks to our organizers and vendors!

Great people? Check. Great gear? Check. Great food? Check. Great job by Coolzo 'n Destroysall? Double check.
 
The only thing wrong was, um, well ...... Nothing!! 
 
Note to self; "Listen more, yap less!!"  I always come away from these meets regretting not doing more listening to gear.
So, at the next meet, if you see me standing around yammering, ask me why I don't have any 'phones on my head.

Hey, Coolzo, what is the name of the orange 'overseer' on your rig? I guess I'll have to bring mine next meet. Anyone remember Bill the cat?

Lol the Overseer (I like that name so let's stick with it) is Jimmy's (Grizmo) reward for winning.. something. I'm not quite sure what, but it happened, and thus became the embodiment of his desire to own a Nakamichi Dragon cassette deck. I guess it's full name would be Nakamichi, the Dragon Overseer of Head-Fi.
