That MobiBlu bound to the amp with the rubberband like that cracks me up. That thing was pretty nifty. It's the ultimate jogger's mp3 player.

Icehawk just a quick thank you for organizing the meet, beatiful bldg and room. To the rest of the guys there it was a blast although I promised myself to stay away from the pool table (where all the expensive electrostatic "stuff" was at).

To me the surprise of the meet was a pair of Senn HD580, for some reason they hit the right note with me and I will be looking for one. I will follow Tyrion's recomendation and will email Myo for his cable. Man, that is another $400!

Once again thanks alot to the all the guys a great bunch of people.

I dont think he is making anymore. Although I might be selling mine soon when Myo builds me balanced cable.

Very nice looking equipment you had there.

I think mrarroyo had to leave before people started taking pictures. I took a few myself, so I will check to see if they contain anything not already shown. Btw, you can see the side of me listening to the R10's while picking music from my ipod. Don't worry, I wasn't running them directly from the ipod, the Antique Soundlab amp was on the ground, since the table was a bit wobbly.

P.S. I just got back from the scuba dive I was telling you guys about. It was a blast! Now I can go try some of Tyrion's beer

Yeah, I left early (about 3:15pm) besides if a picture would have been taken of me the camera would break!

Here are some of the very few pictures I took:

Linn Sondek LP 12 Turntable (my favorite source at the meet)

Antique Soundlabs MG Head 32 (my baby for the day)

Some, but not all, of mrarroyo's stuff

My favorite attraction at the meet was the albino alligator

I'm just mad that Wayne didn't tell me he was bringing the HEV90. You knew I'd crank some hip-hop on that thing didn't you wayne?

some quick thoughts on the meet

man the ps-1s are really great cans i have the HF-1 zebras and there is a wide margin of difference between them. Going back and forth on my vinyl rig the PS-1s were cleaner and the bass was decidedly deeper and better controled.
I loved the electo table the stax 404s are a great buy at 400 bucks while they were brighter with the mcalister amp than the HR90s they are a great buy and sounded really good with the stax mkll amp Mike brought

I have to check out the mcalister pre/headphone amp at 599 if it is a good as his eltro amp its a great piece of gear.

Thanks for a great meet, hey if you guys dive often lmk I don't get in the water enough and would love to go!!

Thanks for a great meet and thanks to all the guys that brought some major dream gear for us all to hear.

Just kidding, people, but you must admit - an easy target. Thanks for all the impressions. Unfortunately, I am more confused than ever re: an amp for the HE90, but hopefully NY in April will solve that dilemma.

Sorry I couldn't make it, but happy to see the FL contingent alive and well.

John, if you ever want to go diving, just let me know. I plan to go pretty often, and there are a lot of great spots around Miami to see.

Yeah no kidding. I think i'm going to have to try attend as many florida meets as possible just to make sure they keep their act together.

It's a sorry state, Joe, but what are we 'gonna do? We gotta let them grow up and fly on their own some day, even if they do f$#k it up. right?

Book a flight to Lauderdale or Miami, tell me when you arrive, and NightwoundsTime and I will drive over, pick you up and together we will go and b$tch slap them all back to Head-Fi meet reality.

Did you hear any accounts, or see pictures of Head-Fi beer? No, neither did I - shameful.

Did you hear anything of neighbors wandering in, and saying how cool things were? No, neither did I - even more shameful.

Did you hear any accounts of neighbors complaining of noise or rude/crude behavior? No, neither did I - shameful.

What kind of meet is that?

I've been busy lending a hand in the Cincinnati Meet thread. You want to talk about dysfunctional. I made a mistake with the brewing process for this batch so I wasn't sure people would like it. It turned out it wasn't as bad as I expected. Next time I think John and I are doing a batch of Sierra Nevada.

We wouldn't be in this mess if you guys showed up.
