Xanadu?

That's what I thought too and kept calling it that until Yoan made fun of me, "Deux....DEUX!!". Whichc to me sounds like "Duh!!". Would be funny if Craig meant for it to be called, "Zana....DUH!!"

Looks like it was a great time with lots of gear.

Maybe the sound reminded him of this warm romantic comedy: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanadu_(film)

Thanks a lot for the venue and the pizza Gen! It was indeed an ideal location and a great crowd.
 
Awesome pictures Sean, especially that last one! I've also never seen myself wearing the R10s before...remind me to never do in public outside a head-fi meet :)
 
I must admit I also didn't do much critical listening, but I do agree that the R10s have never sounded as good as they did through the Zana Deux.

Could be mine, not that I remember taking that particular one. What is that attached to it?

I'm not sure. It looks like one of those magnets that are sometimes placed on wire cables? But this is an optical cable so...

Haha, that cable is mine! Unfortunately that thing on it is not some magical enhancement...it's just a case that holds the mini optical adapters :)
 
Gen, maybe we can get lunch sometime and you can pass it to me. I still want to take you to that Italian pizza place!
