If anyone cares...I will be there tomorrow to record the panel.

Sweet!
Very interested.
I eagerly await the results.
too late in the day, I discovered this Auralic amp, and my time was up so I didn't get to ask questions: does anyone know it enough to comment?
Headphone Panel...you can learn so much from a person by the way they present themselves, their ideals and how much they respect, or condescend to, the other people on the panel. Kudos to Purrin for keeping his cool in the face of adversity from a megalomaniac who is nothing more than an obscene idiot.
Highlights of the meet for me were:

HE-400: Awesome headphone from HiFiMan at a very affordable price. Kudos to Fang for not charging an arm and a leg for a good headphone.
Schiit Room: A great pleasure stopping by that friendly room. Also awesome to see a show participant that wasn't playing Patricia Barber or some weak guitar solo music. Their new DAC is WIN in my book.
Wilson Speakers: Personal listening experience....pure WIN. I think Purrin put it best when he said "It's like having your own personal conservatory of music." I agree.
Sony Speakers: Not perfect but better that so many other speakers at the show.
The Let Downs:
The music...it seemed every room was showcasing their gear with the same ol' music. Patricia Barber....solo guitar music....Diana Krall....audiophile recordings that sound good on anything and everything that produces sound. The exceptions were far and few between....kudos to Schiit, Sony and Focal for not playing the same tired crap.
The noise...too many people talking when others are auditioning gear. Just plain rude.
Overall...T.H.E. show was a disappointment to me. It seems coloration is everybody's goal these days.
Otherwise I'm going to try very hard to not say anything more here on HF other than despite recent technological advances such "heroic" cabinets and drivers made from the element Unobtainium, the state of HiFi has NOT advanced since in the late 1990s or early 2000s. Stick with your headphone setups boys and girls!
