Skylab > Many thanks to you and your wife for the extremely generous hospitality. You have a very nice family, an incredible home, and an audio collection that is the envy of many of us.
Your vinyl setup was like a small dose of addictive drug. The Denon > Moon > Krell > Sunfire > B&W setup is beyond fantastic. Thank you for sharing it with us. I don't think anyone minded listening to speakers at a headphone meet. Good audio is good audio.
Thanks to your wife for the Starbucks run. I still don't think an iced black coffee is all THAT wierd.
CryHavoc > Thank you for organizing the event. It was a pleasure meeting you and comforting knowing there was at least one other sports addict besides myself at the event. What brand / type iPhone case did you show me? My idiot self forgot to write it down.
As probably the newest member of head-fi at the meet, it was a lot to absorb and take in on one day. I learned more than I expected, and I got to experience a great deal of gear that was previously only read about on this forum. Ray Samuels and his B-52 / Sony R-10 setup were eye-opening for me. Headphones..."Who knew?" says this former speaker guy. Ray's Predator amp was also of great interest to me. This was my first time seeing and hearing it...very impressive. Sonically, the Predator is a very well-rounded amp.
Ray > Thank you for enlightening all of us with your incredible gear and passion for the audio hobby. Thank you also for the pizza.
I got to hear the Zana Deux for the very first time thanks to Absorbine Sr.
Xnothingpoetic > many thanks for letting me try my Little Dot MK IV on your Kaces DAC. I'm hooked and have asked Maniac to sell me one.
GLF > Thank's for sharing your SEXy setup with us. The Shanling CDP and the rest of your setup sounded incredible. I did buy "The Bad Plus" CD already.
Germania > Thanks for the tip on the insten IPOD dock. I ordered one off buy.com yesterday. I only got to listen to the k400s for one song as Ray was smiling when listening to them and I didn't want to disturb him. Kudos on the blinged out girl-fi ipod.
The STAX SR003 was very smooth and detailed. As a huge jazz fan, these phones were more comfortable than I expected and quite possibly a future purchase for me.
I got to meet a lot of great people... I apologize for not mentioning everyone in this thread. It was alot for me to take in on one day... new faces, names, gear, and music. I was a bit overwhelmed. What a great friendly group of people all of you.
Thank you very much everyone and being so patient with me yesterday with all of my questions. I look forward to the next meet and hope to see you all soon.
