Hardly.  That's generally considered solidly Mid-Fi.

Bring them! Part of the fun of the meet is bringing your own rig with your own music and letting others stop by your space and listen in.

I think it is... for the HD650, I liked it more than the Lyr when I heard them side by side.

WOW
Thanks fellas!
I honestly wake up EVERYDAY and speak my gratitude out-loud - for being able to write about this stuff (music and great sounding gear)
and evangelize for a living!!
 
It took YEARS of paying dues, but it was worth it ALL.
 
Also:
I'm so grateful to be a part of this community!
I felt like the odd-kid out (and I'm 39 yrs-old, LOL) in the high end audio industry for TOO long!
and the music they play in those hotel rooms at high end shows, sorry, but I'd take water torture over much of it!!
 
This is a COMMUNITY - and we ALL put in. If only some of my peers in Hi-fi got that simple fact.
I just had an argument with a guy that said our "Headfi industry" is going to benefit "greatly" from the high end
entering into our hobby and making better gear!  LOL
 
I told him: "we've been here all along without you - and we have TERRIFIC gear (including gear from high end legends like Tim DeParavicini
and others)" "we don't need you." But I said hey, if they wanna contribute - fine!
 
But don't tell me we NEED them!
That's laughable
 

 
All I know is I've had more fun at Head-Fi Meets than I'v EVER had at High end audio shows!!
LOL

ANYTIME brotha!
I'm lookin' for more shots!
I know I've got more!
YO @HiFiGuy528  - where's the video you shot of last years LA Meet?
It might be in the thread @third_eye posted!!
 
now I just gotta decide on what to bring!
IF I buy this McIntosh D100 DAC/digital pre-amp/headphone amp... well,
its AMAZING ahead of my ALO Studio Six:

 
I can't wait to hear it w/ the E.A.R HP4!!!!
that might be KILLER to bring

 

[FatmanSize48]

I'll make sure to bring some paper towels for all that drool.

Does anyone in W LA need a ride? Transportation is no longer an issue for me.
