Seriously? only the best sir! .
Prime rib with baby sweet potatoes with bacon wrapped grilled asparagus, corn on the cob in husk, grilled in a fire pit I dug out hours before the meet. Tiring, but they were delicious. I also baked a few loaves of homemade bread and churned homemade butter that I personally stomped on until blistered. Then for desert, i offered up flaming cream brûlée with my trusty Coleman propane tank. Handy!!
Then when finished with our dinner coffee, we finally, and I mean finally, retire into a walk in humidor I built from wood laying around the neighborhood, that also doubles as a man cave home theater smoking Cubans until passing out.
That’s our typical meet sir. Aren’t yours like this too?
My wife snapped this. Was having issues with the dig
Guys guys guys…. Even if it’s a blurb of a blurb impression, but let’s get everyone’s take on the meet. This really isn’t about us. It’s about turning on Arizonans to the hobby or the old timers interested in the hobby again.
Phx and AZ was hopping before…. The…VIRUS! No reason why we can’t do it again.
Orpheus - what are you trying to say? Are you proposing? I haven't seen a HE90 in person for a long time. Maybe I'll get to touch this time. HE60 would be great to hear again too.
There has got to be at least one Arizona resident out there with a Holo Audio May/Bliss KTE stack, or Ferrum Wandla, Oor, Hypsos stack willing to come and let us listen!
Thanks so much @koover for inviting me and hosting! I had a great time! Met a lot of cool peeps! Everyone was so nice and I learned a lot just from chatting, especially with @koover, @M3NTAL, and @SpeleoFool. I wish I could have stayed longer.
@rollinbr's setup stood out to me for it's super smoothness. How much was the amp and how much the headphone? Regardless I now have a new goal for my own system and you have set the bar quite high. I was also impressed with the Modhouse Tungsten, both from @CinnamonToastCrunch's Galion TS120 and @koover's Flux MENTOR. Man those things give a snare some SNAP!
Definitely down for another. I will have to bring something next time...
I wish I'd known about you meeting. I live in NY, but am in AZ until the end of March. I can't find a good headphone store in AZ! And man have I been looking. If anyone wants to do a mini-meet up in AZ with a New Yorker audiophile, let me know. I'm thinking a good place for beer/wine/cocktails and grub. I brought some good gear to keep me sane here and would love to meet with someone from Head-Fi for a listening party. Let's see what I have to demo: EE Odin, 7th Acoustics Supernova, Aüre Ascension and Neon Pro, TGXEar Red Serratus buds, UM Mest Mk ii, QVC Anole VX, Night Oblivion Bustatur, Massdrop & Noble K10, OG Wu Zeitan, ie600, Symphonium Helios and Helios SE, Andromeda 2020, and the TSMR-X. I also have a used Oriolus Szalayi coming in a few days. I brought along portable gear:FiiO BTR7, iFi Gryphon, and a FiiO M11s DAP.
So, if anyone is interested and another AZ informal meetup, I'd love to meet some other Head-Fi'ers while I'm here and do what I love, share and listen to gear, and talk gear with people who actually care
I'm in the East Valley for 4 weeks, so feel free to PM me if your interested. I'd love to meet some other head gear geeks like me! It's either this or I'll be spending a month playing pickleball and water aerobics with 80 year old women

I’m saying it’s been laying around in that old shed out back. The one I was telling you about where the mountain lions and coyotes get in to everything and trash it? Yeah, that one. They’re out there and safe with the 2 Nagra HD DAC X’s. All 3 are filthy and almost unrecognizable. Also covered in some type of insect larva. With a good clean up, I may be ready for the meet. Should be ready to show and demo at least.

Indeed I am, finally made the time to get to the NY Jam. I'll see what I can do with RAAL
Sounds like everyone enjoyed this meet! Not sure I would have been able to make it with my busy past few months but I'm only a PM away if there's room for an extra next time
You-do-you Big Dawg. Just seems like one of the more technically difficult designs in engineering sense. OAE1 maybe? Curious how it will compete / undercut the HD6xx line. Could be a price disruptor.
Times Square - good luck moving gear around - Yeeesh.
