Event organizer: Trav
Listening to what we can all agree was the best rig there... mine.

The triumphant return of Ingwe
Can you seriously believe someone brought a kid to a meet!?!?! :facepalm:
Oh well, at least he brought a Wii. Doesn't this kit have great hair? Yeah, he does.
Cybertron trying to run away with Purk's R10s. Oh, wait... nevermind.
What!?!? Another kid? Seriously? Oh well, at least she was super cute.
From left: Some guy's arm, Cybertron, Zoe (Beauty), Ingwe's head (Beast), blurry Trav, MrArroyo's right arm.
I never knew TomB was a Viking...
Oh yeah, if you didn't know, it's Tom B, not "tomb". He doesn't really remind me of the Crypt Keeper, makes a lot more sense with caps, no?
Internals of JJ900s Exemplar 3910.
You've met the machine, now meet the man. JJ (JeffreyJ900. Seriously dude? Seriously?) with some L3ks via Purk out of the ZD + Exemplar 3910 rig.
Here is Paul Tarver, a founding member and current Treasurer of the A-VCOA (Audio-Video Club Of Atlanta). These guys invited some HF members along with the great (and sadly absent) Tyll Hertsens of Headroom fame to a Computer Audio demonstration in the Atlanta area last summer. We had a great time there and have kept in touch some, and I invited their group to come out to our headphone meet this weekend. I'm not sure of the total count, but I know at least 6 or 7 members came out and unlike the last gathering, we had plenty of rigs and time to listen and talk about things. If you're reading A-VCOA guys, thanks for coming out, hope you enjoyed it! I believe the rig is an Exemplar 5910 -> Headamp Gilmore Reference amp (I'm sure Purk will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is one of the one or two single ended Gilmore Reference amps in existence).
You'll have to ask Fitz what this is, but it has the blackest blacks I've ever seen.
I'd want a blacker faceplate, but otherwise I greatly approve of the visual palette used.
These next two pieces of gear need no introduction...
OK, so maybe they do need an introduction, but I will let our good friend TomB answer that one for you.
Speaking of TomB yet again, here is a horrible shot of him with a wonderful shot of someone's beautiful naked HP-1s. Yes, I just ruined anyone's chance of finding this thread with SafeSearch turned On.
Mrs. JeffreyJ900 sporting her new office rig, right Jeff?
I didn't get to listen to this guy's rig, but I got to play with his computer, and I want one. From the picture album entitled "Excuse: Seriously, the lighting was tough in this room, guys..." I bring you ZeroIbis' Alienware M11x.
The DIY sub-forum: Fitz and TomB
Foreground: Ingwe and TwoTrack (who brough a high-rez rig with some of his digital recordings, which is one of the things I meant to get around to listening to (along with the, I believe, ALO modded SR225s around his neck). Background: Cybertron facepalming after realizing he was going to wind up making a purchase on this event day.
Those silly kids again! This time forgoing their portable rigs for something a little more grown up. Xavier's rig: 4th gen iPod Nano->PX100s. Zoe's rig: Sansa Clip+ ->JVC Flats (in pink). (I wonder if I could send some SR-60s to Colorware... hmmm...). Their portable rigs are loaded up with ALAC/AAC/MP3 and FLAC/MP3, respectively. Zoe is listening to Dave Matthews & Time Reynolds: Live In Las Vegas (if you were wondering why she was smiling so big (and you were)).
Cans I brought to the meet: HF-1 #39 / HP-1 / HF-2 #39
Cans Cybertron wound up taking home with him along with whatever he brought. Lucky...

I had a great time at this meet. Lots of great gear, lots of great people, lots of fun. Can't wait to do it again, but hopefully we won't have to wait another year.
