I've been all over town this morning on weekend errands. Everything looks messy but locally the roads are in good shape and the traffic's brisk.

Haha nice you got me jamming the balanced D7000's in comparing them to my stockers!  Good stuff! 
 
Great time meeting everyone.  Here's a few photos I took from the meet.  Sorry I bolted out kind of abruptly I totally lost track of time!  Hope to meet some of you guys again.  Some of you have some amazing set ups.

Just got back home from Ann Arbor. Had a lot of fun at the meet. Some of my highlights are...
 
* Listening to Peter's vintage Marantz CD player - I was very impressed with sound just from headphone out. Your glowing volume meter thingy was very trippy.
* Hearing for first time the LCD-2s (thanks Thread!) - they are altogether a different breed of headphones.
* Glueing myself to tvrboy's Cary Exciter/V100/HD800 setup - loved the silky smooth sound of the HD800s. I must resist the impulse for another upgrade.
* Geeking out on  iems on KIbble Fat's self-built DAC and AMP, which sounded amazing.
* Having to privilege to try out the Jude's Westone 4's before they are even released (!).
* Listening to th balanced T1s on Musicman59's incredible, full-rack setup, it was a spectacle to behold.
 
And last but not least, meeting some very cool fellow head-fiers. Thank you all for generously sharing your gear, and big thanks to Peter and Walter for hosting. This certainly is a special community we have built here.

I walked in the door. The drive back to Kzoo wasn't so bad. Nice clear roads and no traffic!
 
Thanks to everyone for sharing your wonderful setups. I had an absolute blast. And kudos to whomever picked the brewpub after. I can see driving back over to eat there again.
 
Hopefully I have some more to share next time around.

Thanks for the pictures guys! Had a blast! Hope to see all you guys soon at Jude's place in the spring.

Well guys, mission accomplished! I got home just before midnight and placed the order for the HE-6. See what you made me do Aaron!!!
It was very nice to see some familiar faces and met new friends. I had a lot of fun talking and sharing experiences.
I hope we can meet again soon. Walter and I talked about trying to organize a meet twice a year. What do you think?

 

[wotts]

I would be very interested in a a few meets per year. I really don't mind driving around. It only took me an hour and a half to get home, and I stopped for gas.

 

[Badd99]

Musicman, thanks again for bringing all your awesome gear and letting everyone play with all your very fun toys haha.
 
Anyway, I think meeting 2-3 times per year is a great idea. Maybe I can have my Buffalo II DAC built for the next meet

Looked like a great meet with a good turnout.  Nicely done guys!

Thanks to the mech shop guys for hosting this! it was really cool to demo cans that are currently out of my range, so much to save up for now....this hobby is gonna ruin me.

Thanks for posting the pictures, and driving out to the meet. Looked like everyone had a good time and I had a blast. Big thanks to MusicMan and Jude for lugging their gear out, and everyone else for bringing something to share. 
 
I think a meet up 2 times a year sounds just about right. It will give most people time to save enough money to have something new for the next meet...... Any more and I would be broke all year and I can't do that, or can I, hmmmmmmm. 
 
Thanks again for everyone that came out, 
Walter
