OMG I remember you Chris, wow you're MOT now huh? yeah those bay area meets were a lot of fun... ironbut, Voltron, neilpeart, utep10, AMB.... I'm missing a few too. Who was the guy with the Orpheus setup in the saratoga hills... brain is farting out. Bruce (utep10) very generously gave me a bunch of original master recording CDs that I still listen to all the time. I think it was either utep10 or Voltron that had an old Singlepower toaster that I LOVED plugging my cans into whenever I could. The sound of that single ended rig is ETCHED into my brain... er at least what I can remember of it. LOL!!
What ever happened to Jahn, boomana, duggeh and nikongod?... oh if this is too far off topic just feel free to PM me any time!!
I come back, poking my head up looking for a K701 or similarly BIG soundstage, since I am listening to a lot of orchestral/symphonic metal now, and wow have things changed.... well sort of. Looks like Grados are still ugly, sennheisers (the old ones) are still veiled, and the K701 still has a huge soundstage (for a dynamic speaker element can).
Lot more Jude pics as avatars now too...LOL!!!
Thanks fellas for the warm welcome... still enjoying the tunes here on my end!!
