Join the BAE discord server to get updates.
Will there be food?

Well I have three possible suggestions for you:
1. Join the discord as suggested above.
2. Know that I try to organize these around the middle to end of Jan and July though the exact time varies. Might be mid one month to the start of the next (like this one being early Feb). But at least you'll know to check a couple of months ahead of time.
3. Follow the organization on eventbrite. You should get a notification when I create a new event.

Not this time, but there are a lot of food options around the location if you wanted to step out.

Sponsor: Linsoul
We're super excited to participate and I'll bring a pile of Thieaudio, Kiwi ears and Ziigaat IEM's as well as some other IEM's we sell at Linsoul. I'll have the new Kiwi ears Division closed back and Ellipse open back headphones. Can't wait to see y'all in just over a week!

I’ve never been there so I can’t answer. Maybe make a thread asking if there’s interest.

Any pictures of the Valhalla 3? Especially the back.
BAY IS BACK!!
Saturday was BUZZING…
There was something about the happiness and the energy. @DeviousEnigma has rebuilt and reinvigorated the Bay Area with a whole new crew mixed with some of the best OG peeps and even some of the SF Audiophile group.
It reminded me of 2011-2014 meets.
Welcoming of newcomers, awesome small passionate community members making stuff, incredible community synergistic rigs, a total range of SS to tube and estat/planar/dynamics/IEMs…to PUD!!!

OR PEAK HOBBY: Zach & Bevin flying out and handing me a choice of two very custom Atrium Opens!
Man, these are so lush with a sense of 3D. Such sweet tone. Beautiful mids, rich bass. Effortless dynamics. I’ve been so looking forward to these and they are the total experience. Aesthetics, feel, comfort, sound. I’m in a cabin with wood, leather, wool rugs, and a fireplace.
Back in the ZMF gang and so thankful to have a piece of art and passion from Zach, one of the nicest people in our hobby.
HAPPY RANT:
There are so many ways to get and find <your> great sound today- at all price points!
Trust yourself and if you are enjoying your music for hours on end, you have a great rig. You’re one of us.
If you enjoy your music so much, have gotten a ton of value out of your gear and want to expand or check out what other gear can do…great.
But I simultaneously feel like I could enjoy music with just a good pair of $150 open backs AND I keep finding new combos that knock my socks off.
So go as nuts as you want or don’t want. It’s all good.
In order to keep having these experiences and try to share them, I have made it my life’s work. I just hope I can keep playing and doing more fun stuff.
A few of us were having dinner after the meet and some were saying that is why they keep coming out. To hang. We have made lifelong friends and found others to talk to about music, gear, coffee, photography, whatever we’re into.
We’re still finding and making our crew. It’s been great. My life wouldn’t be as rich without all of you.
MORE THANKS: To the people who come and spend time at the NITSCH table…
-I get such a buzz from seeing and talking to you!
-Thank you for letting me know you got a Piety or a Pietus Maximus and you like it. Makes me very happy.
-Okay, I was a little shocked when you wanted me to sign the TOP of the amp! @s2kphile
-I can’t possibly try all combinations of DAC/Amp/Headphone to craft magic, so thanks for letting me know what you have and what you like (or don’t like)!
And at community tables!
PUD about to give our fearless organizer the bass of his childhood in cars with massive woofers:
Two last shout-outs (I promise):
1. @DeviousEnigma 's significant other is a key ingredient to our meets and super-kind to support us in our uber-enabling sessions. Please let her know we thank her too!
2. Thanks to Schiit for sending a box 'o Schiit (sometimes with unreleased products) + helping with the venue to support the community!
Listening to my Atrium Opens until next time...cheers!!
