I had a great time at my 2nd ever canjam.  Last time, you folks forever broke my image of what headphones can aspire to
(particularly the meridian/RSA/sennheiser).
 
This year, I really enjoyed a lot of setups.  Nice musical sounds from
the dared amps with oppo DAC (i think with denons), red wine audio with stella DAC (phones?).
 
Didn't get a chance to listen to vinyl (me bad!) and I'm kicking myself now for that.
 
The PS audio DAC was interesting, and sounded nice on some of my stuff but confused me terriby
with all the sampling rate and filter options (I could easily change the sound so substantially that I could never
dial in the DAC sound)...lots of potential there and I had a nice time conversing about the DAC, the coming 'bridge',
filtering, UPNP servers and Mahler.
 
Once again, a very nice time.  Only disappointment was that I had been hoping to hear an Xstata amp......maybe
next time or maybe I'll have to cross the river and try to catch a NYC camjam someday.
 
Cheers (and thanks to the organizers!)

Cookies are for computers, 
 
Tiramisu was for the waistline. It was only $2.95!

My friend got a barcode tatoo in the mid '90's. I told him to make sure it didn't have "666"
in it!

Don't laugh but I was going to have that exact thing incorporated into a tattoo. LoL Along with morse code, binary code, Japanese, NSF, and 5-5-5 for all the Fibonacci fans. :)

Thanks Larry & John for setting up the meet,Hanging with Headfi buddies  is always great,even in the heat.
 
 Great pics .It was fun talking to members I never met before.
 
Some Impressions.
 
Asgard Nice sounding amp for the money but boy this thing gets hot especially if no load is plugged into it.
 
lcd 2   I am on the fence about buying this phone,easier to drive then the HE5le Or HE6(Must have a power amp with this phone)
The He5le is much more comfortable & i like the way they sound.
I tried the stock cable & the Alo cable on the LCD 2,The stock cable having a darker sound ,switching to the ALO cable  was like someone turned on the lights in a dimly lite room,For cable disbelievers if you can;t hear the differance between these  cables then you are deaf.
  I prefered the Alo cable by a long shot,The LCD2 just opened up.
 
T1  This phone seems to grow on me the more times I hear it especially with tube amps Woo5 & woo22 no slouches in the amp department,I actually prefer the T1 to the HD800 (which  I  really am not a big fan of).
