In case youse guys missed what Ari was pointing to, Steve Guttenberg wrote a blog about the NYC Meet in CNET:
High-end headphone mania hits New York | The Audiophiliac - A high-end audio blog from Steve Guttenberg - CNET Blogs
I wrote him about mis-labeling the Beyerheisers as Sennheiser HD880's.
I wish to thank everyone for attending and the kind words, critiques and pictures. These 2 meets (spring and fall) have become an annual tradition in these parts, and it seems that everyone always leaves these meets feeling like a kid again, whose only goal was to have a really good time.
The mood is always warm and the smiles on everyone's faces in the pictures show us that no matter how young or old you are, we can get together at ages 8 to 80 and have a whale of a good time.
I especially want to thank everyone for contributing (whether it was donating towards the room, or money spent on an auction item, or donation of an auction item). Special thanks should go out to Yikes, for without his starting of the agressive bidding wars and Siltech IC's, we would have not raised enough money for the room.
Along with Machead for generously bidding a ridiculous amount of money on the auction items, besides donating also.
Along with Nate (N_Maher), who, even though he couldn't be there, took his personal time to make a beautiful pair of IC's for the auction.
Along with Fang (Head-Direct) and Jack (Woo Audio) and Scott (Warrior05 of S2 Audio...including swt61) who donated wares from their company that helped bring in the cash.
Along with Vincent (The Monkey) and Jeff (vpivinylspinner) and Dave (davederek), who donated things from their own private stock.
Along with Displayman, who donated 4 CD's of unbelievable Latin Jazz (Argentinian, I think) that featured his wife, who wrote some or most of the songs and played wicked sax, that was recorded in top notch sound quality.
Along with my lovely wife, Telica (BrownieLady) for her brownies and chocolate cake which have become a staple at all of our meets (with the exception of last Fall, when she made chocolate covered pretzels). Laboring feverishly over the hot stove making these goodies for us, while I sat on my ass and listened to Cannonball Adderley in the cool bedroom the night before the meet
Sorry if I missed anyone.
We took in a total of $795. The room cost us $550, which leaves $245 to be donated to Head-Fi in the name of the NYC Meet attendees.
BTW- The tubes in the front row of my Woo GES were match pairs of Mullard and Valvo (Siemens) ECC83/12AX7 that were graciously sent to me to try from Mitch (Braillediver) that replaced the 12BZ7's that Jack originally upgraded me to, that improved the sound quality by a large margin. I sent Jack over to listen to the difference and got some cool "Woo-style raised eyebrows".
The back row are RCA 6S4A's.
Thanks again to everyone who attended or were a part of this meet.
Aaron and family.
