Well I'm up now so I might as well post some impressions:
First off....Florida crew: you guys rock the llama. I'm having a blast. Big thanks to Mike for hosting and organizing.... we can push his buttons sometimes but it's all out of love, so stop whining Mike
It's funny, but boomana had some of the best portable amps there...ah life's little ironies. I really shouldn't comment on amps being an MOT, but I'll say this: The Head-Fi community has some impressive portable amps currently available and in the works...Justin and Ray's Pico and Predator amps represented themselves well.
So I recables jp's Grado HP2 with the Equinox and man oh man did it sound great. It's probably due to the 4-pin XLR more than anything else
I also reterminated his RS-1....those headphones scale to balanced amps really well, those and the HD650 really surprise me with how much better they do with a balanced amp.
I came to the meet to make a decision about the HD600 and HD650.... which to buy (I've owned the 600 twice now) and I made my decision. I got one constructive thing done this weekend. While I love the 600 I'm thinking that the 650 is going to be the next purchase so I'm looking forward to that.
The Wavelength Cosecant sounds great through the Woo and I had the Hertsens DAC hooked up to my rig. Thanks for sending that down to us Nate. For those who don't know, the Hertsens DAC is the MAX DAC modules Headroom sells and Nate cased them up to be a standalone DAC. It sounded quite good.
I got a short ride in the Atom, Thanks Wayne. But sadly the weather forced the Atom into it's trailer. That's one hell of a car. It was a lot of fun.
Geez, aren't you guys ready for breakfast yet? Get up and somebody stop Nightwoundstime from snoring.
