Man, there was some very nice gear present. Hope you all had a great time. Look forward to more pictures.

Sharing the experience adds so much to one's enjoyment of being an audio hobbyist in general, and to being a member of Head-Fi in particular. So much harder to do with your friends in the speaker world. Can't really lug those around from place to place so easily! |

Consequently, I am buying the Woo Audio 6SE today and I'm quite happy about it after having heard almost all of the competition. I am convinced that I am getting the best amp for me, at under $1500 including a bunch of tubes and one truly impressive rectifier. |
