I brought the Krell amp, but the credit and ownership goes to Tom (Bozebuttons). Believe it or not, that Krell amp is from 1992, before anyone took headphone amps seriously. A true Class A amp, with a dedicated power supply. Sounds real good.

Nice! I was waiting for all those pics! Looking at all the pics, can't wait for the next one!

Random observations from the meet - I have a huge head. Every time I put on a pair of headphones, I had to adjust the headband to accomodate my noggin. Also, everyone, and I mean everyone, listens louder than I do. My Gilmore Reference's volume knobs reached areas where they had never been before.

I brought the Krell amp


Thanks...I really enjoyed it! What are your thoughts on the Qualia...I only got a minute with them and thought that a longer listening session or perhaps different music choices might make them shine over time. I didn't get "it" right off the bat.

People either love them or hate them. I love them!!!

Ah, many great pics.

Gee, that lovely Ray Samuels amp seems to have a Headroom logo stuck on it. Funny, that...

I start salivating every time I see an XR-10B

Great pics, looks like a nice meet. Too bad we won't be seeing one like that in these parts.

Looks like Ray liked the ghetto Millett enclosure that I had Thaddy's amp in

.

And I'm still waiting to "hear" what some of you thought of the M3 and the Millett showdown. I know I looked over there a couple times and saw people listening so bring it on, good, bad, it's all feedback that I want to hear.

That was in itself a full-time job, long before the first piece of gear was assembled. I had already Heard Vinnie's Clari-T with the AKG K100 (first time with those cans), but had to listen again at the meet. They were another combination that astounded me. Completely articulate and completely non-fatiguing. His amp also drove my Woodied 650 (XLR to spade lug adapter) extremely well. I also spent a bit of time with his battery powered DAC. For the smooth sound and great value, this DAC is a great addition to our growing and somewhat difficult choices. Dave

All,

Sorry for the delay in posting about last weekends meeting:

First, a very big thanks to drp (Dave) and Salt Peanuts for planning and organizing this meeting so well...and it really showed! Well done!

drp, thanks for letting me borrow your portable discman with the digital output, as well as your "woodie" 650's

Glad you enjoyed the battery powered dac + Clari-T + K1000 combo...thanks to you and Yikes for posting your impressions.

I really enjoyed meeting everyone and getting the chance to listen to some new gear (with some new music for me as well

). The environment was fun and laid-back. It was great to meet some of the other manufacturers as well, whose gear looked and sounded awesome!

Sincerely,

Vinnie

I'vegot to admit it, I did it. I actually started to pull the sticker off after I harrassed Ray about it, and he told me to leave it on. So....I tried to take it back off. Shows you what a sport Ray is.

 

[Little J040]

Heh, yes that was pretty funny when I saw that. But I think Tyll had been drinking, that's why he was putting headroom stickers on everything! haha

Edit: Whenever there is another meet, We should definately get an after party lol!

Yeah, I'm still waiting to hear what everyone thought of the little shootout table that Nate and Tyll had set up! Shoot us straight fella's, I want to hear the opinions

I Liked them all, but I thought the sound of the little Millet origional sounded great that night. Close your eyes, roll the tube and who knows, but that night the little one was sweet sounding to these old ears.

No, just Rays amp.

 

[Little J040]

Heh heh I know, Ray's amps looked sexy with there new adornments

 

[Icy006]

A thought just popped into my head. A year ago, I figured maybe I'd get to try out a pair of Grado SR-125s some day. On Saturday, I got to listen to everything from a balanced RS-1 to K-1000s to a Qualia 010. It was a memorable experience.

I just wanted to say thank you.

Edit: It was good to meet you folks too!

No seriously, this is an awesome group of people.
