Official 2014 SF Head-Fi Meet, July 19, 2014, DoubleTree San Francisco Airport

Cool. My fascination comes as an audio engineer, I went to a lecture by legendary engineers, sat the 2012 aes convention in SF, some of whom worked on it, and Aja too. We're talking George Massenburg, Al Schmitt, Elliot Scheiner. It's my understanding that when an engineer goes into a new studio, they take a copy of Aja and Gaucho to listen to the room with. They're the reference recordings used to do that with. One piece of advice I remember from the lecture. Never use EQ. Learn the Mics you have and use mic positioning as your EQ. That was a fun Lecture :) on the mastering side at a lecture on mfit (mastered for iTunes) they had Bob Ludwig. I was in Heaven :)

Just bumped into this thread now, and I'm excited to come over! I'm selling my PS Audio DirectStream DAC so check it out! I won't be around after 12 noon though.

  I won't be able to make this event, so please re-assign my table space to someone next on the waiting list.
 
thanks

 
Bummer, thanks for letting us know!

Awesome! I would really like to hear the DS DAC and also compare with the Chord Hugo. Please stop by my table!

Just found out that I can stay a little after 12 noon. Woo hoooo!
 
I don't have a dedicated amp right now, but I'll hook it up with an old stereo amp. Better than no amp. I'll stop by your table third_eye!

gzone, due to unusual circumstances (several mfgs. couldn't make it but did send gear), we have amps up the YING YANG.  Come by third_eye's table to hook it up to any number of amps laying around.  Or come by the tables I'm sharing with baronkatz and try hooking it up to a wide assortment of Schiit (including the Ragnarok).

Anyone have a pair of Ultrasone Signature DJ (and Pro) that they could bring to the meet? I've been meaning to hear those for the past couple of years but still haven't had a chance to...

Hey,
 
I just want to make sure, will the stuff be set up at 8:30? My friends and I can only come during the first half of the meet and it would suck if we come in at 8:30 and everybody is just starting to get set up. I'm assuming the exhibitors arrive much before then to get ready at 8:30 for everybody.
