First of all thanks to all of you great people who came to the meet - you have made this meet a bigger success than I could have dreamt of.
@Mazen4samma3a and
@punit for getting this off the ground and sharing such an abundance of gear with us. Samma3a had the whole line up of Westone, Aurisonics, Grados, Fiio,Hifiman, Bravo Audio, Vmoda lots of personal stuff as well, eye popping things. Dubai Audio for arranging the controversial EL8 (it continues to polarize between amazing and bah), the pleasing Oppo OM-3 and the HA1! I thought the PM3 matched my shirt very well in white
@RHA @RHA Team for arranging the MA750 and T10 - who received so much praise and and quite some: "I will have to buy these", comments! Especially after hearing the fair pricing in the local market.
@Adamora for introducing Master & Dynamic to us (stunning lookers and I loved the magnetic ear pads - and the MH40 sounded fab!!) and also for the Bloc N Roc headphone that were totally new to me.
It was also the first time I ever saw a Chord Hugo (and even managed to listen to it) and the freakishly amazing binaural recording device (microphones in the earphone guys) from Roland that Dirk brought. What an amazing experience.
Since I got so many questions: The pizza was from www.pitfiredubai.ae - and yes, they are awesome too
To everyone who deserved to be mentioned and I forgot - tell me!! I will add this here, it's late and my brain is not working anymore...
And now some photos...
Grado, Fiio, ifi, Bravo, Vmoda, Hifiman, and and and...
