Unfortunately, fellas, no, I won't be attending this meet. I held out slim hope that I'd be able to, but my schedule just won't permit it.
While in Chicago on business a little while ago, I stopped by Ray's place and, along with Fred and one of my business partners (Jack), got a sneak peak at Ray's Raptor prototype (it's a small two-piece tube amp), among other things. It sounded so good, I couldn't get it out of my head, and so I called Ray to place an order -- so let me know what you cats think of that one, as I haven't heard a production unit yet.
Other things I'd appreciate some impressions on include amps based on Kevin's Dynahi design;
the just-announced HeadRoom Coda and Overture, individually, and as a system; and I've been waiting with great anticipation on more impressions of the new
Meier Audio PreHead MkII SE and
Eartube.
Since I won't be able to make it, and since I'll be sitting at a desk for a better part of this weekend for work, I have, on my home office desk, three wonderful amps to listen to all weekend -- the HeadRoom Max 2004 with stepped attenuator, the Meier Audio PreHead (MkI), and the Ray Samuels Audio Emmeline HR-2. No, I won't have the company of all you Head-Fi'ers; no, I won't have quite the variety of gear to listen to; and, no, I won't get to enjoy any of Mrs. Samuels' cooking -- but I'll make the best of it.
Sorry I'm missing all of you for this one. Have a great time! Can't wait for
the impressions.
