Thanks everyone for coming--I had an awesome time hanging out with everyone. Sorry for the mix-up with the opening time, it wasn't clear when the system let me choose a Noon starting time, and confirmed it. We should go back to Saturdays for future meets--if I can beat out the Lego guys for a room. I wasn't able to listen to at least half of the things on my list, and it was noisy, but it was a great meet.
I always love the DIY stuff and Grinding Thud's Super Symmetry Dynalo sounded great with the LCD-2s--super clean and controlled.
Thanks Mark for bringing the amazing selection of gear, including the Dharma. The Dharma has a unique sound signature and I look forward the hearing the production version. The streaming DAC and the amp were also really nice--and everything is priced well.
I enjoyed the HE-560 on the Gustard--the amp seems to add the right amount of warmth to the signature.
Ragnarok vs. Auralic Taurus; Thanks Byrnie for bringing the Taurus--I think it's a great sounding amp that runs a bit brighter than neutral and has a slightly aggressive sound that stopped short of any harshness with the LCD-Xs. The Rag runs a bit warmer than neutral and has a softer sound.
EL-8-closed: These are beautiful cans, I love the direction Audeze went for the industrial design. I thought they sounded good for a closed phone, but I didn't get a chance for a thorough listen with a variety of music.
Finally got a chance to hear the T1's and liked them way more than I expected.
