Dude, the LCD-4 and @barryt pre-amp and headphone amp with Pink Floyd on the Technics turntable was so amazing, I thought @KG Jag was John Goodman for a second! Or was it the record speed correction?

BTW, no offense @KG Jag , but I was really enjoying the music, possibly too much.

Didn't take many pictures, but what I did take is here: https://vracer111.smugmug.com/Hobbies/Head-Fi-meet-5-20-17/n-8PnK4d

Liked the SR-009's more than before and enjoyed the Audeze LCDi4... didn't realize how expensive they were until just now looking on the Audeze site - yep, not going to happen for me. Heard the iSINE10's but not the 20's... wish I took the time to hear the 20's. Also ejoyed the Philips X2. I think the star of the show for me was snellemin's main rig...

Even my SHP9500's were crazy fun on it... and in a moment of inspiration, put the extra set of attenuator plates in them and the bass was redonkulous for a SHP9500... LOL Really made me appreciate the M1060's more too... they can put out the bass with that rig - clean and HEAVY/extremely impactful!

I posted more pics, but they don't show up.

I impressed with a lot of stuff really. The paper modded monoliths where the most bang of the buck. The modded purple hearts was just sweet sounding. The proto IEM's where just amazing sounding, but the price is just silly. It's the engineer in me speaking. The record player my son truly enjoyed. Dammit, I liked it all. Thanks everybody for letting me enjoy your headphones on my rig.

Fueled by I-10 at near Hwy 71 BBQ and coffee, Barry and I made it back to Austin in one piece. Enjoyed meeting everyone and the opportunity to share and sample you gear.

Hey, there you go! Pics or it didn't happen. Now that he is married, he can go on hosting the next Houston meet next year!

So aside from the notification woes leading to just over half of those bringing equipment showing up (hint hint: please fix the notification system for at least the meets forums @jude, @joe, or whoever is in charge of this), more important things took precedence over the meet, and for obviously good reason! BTW, I already congratulated them in person after the meet.

Oh yeah, and great pictures to @snellemin and @VRacer-111 as well.
