Those are the BEST meets. When you come away happy with what you have it tends to be a LOT less expensive!

PS, when you get tired of your CS1.6's, be sure to let me know! Thiel are among my favorites.

 
It's true, I was so happy when I came to that realization. I did realize that my current system isn't going to be my endgame system (like I thought it was), but at least my next step is relatively attainable.

  Colin, thanks for turning me on to goat rodeo sessions.  Been rocking them for awhile today, and I'm still at work listening, because I don't want to take my headphones off 

 

 
It's an excellent album, isn't it?
 
If you have the chance, take a look at YoYo Ma's other cross-genre albums like the Silk Road Ensemble (Beyond the Horizon is my favorite), his work especially with these cross-genre and cross-culture pieces is incredible.
 
 

  Sorry we couldn't be there--looks like a terrific meet!

A Cintiq and a pair of Omens powered by a Ragnarok...

That was an awesome meet. I feel so fancy being in the pictures
 
SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!
 
edit: wow my hair was a terrible mess.

  Thanks Jack and glad you liked it. I am bringing the same tubes to NY and George Lenz is attending the meet with some EML tubes for your 234's as well. Dead Ears has another opportunity to hear these on November 9th and I am looking forward to meeting you Frank as well.

That pair of 596's look really good!

The Omens are the "easy" load. We're still waiting for the Magnepans to be shipped, but for the moment I'm using my Eminent Technology LFT-VIs for the "tough" load. Really too tough--they're more Emotiva XPR territory. The Magnepan 1.7s should be right about at the limit of what Ragnarok can do.
 
Back on the subject, I'm glad Lee got the Vali, and sorry about no Ragnarok for the show. It's still undergoing teardowns and tweaking.

Thanks for selling them to me. They look and sound excellent in the WA5. Now I need to source some more

This meet made me want to upgrade my T50rp's to the D7000's.  Huge step up in cost, but they sounded fantastic.  When you're ready to upgrade, let me know, Taowolf51..

Wow, another ET fan?!  I had some LFT3's in the day, Bruce's work is first rate.

Man I am bummed I missed this meet. The two people that were supposed to go with me ended up having to work. I didn't know anyone else and felt a little shy about going and not knowing anyone and being a newbie to the whole headphone scene. I regret it know... I should have gone. Well I guess I will just have to be on the look out for the next east coast meet in NY. or Philly.

I was really looking forward to see how my DT990 250ohm sound with a Schiit Valhalla.

I had a chance to hear LCD-XC which had boomy bass on a Pink Floyd track and as usually heavy. I also heard ugly looking and heavy, but at least more comfortable than LCD-XC, Abyss which sounded great. I like how Alpha Dogs sounded from RWAK100 so for me they are suitable for portable use. I also tried HD800 with Alo AUdio cable on few setups including S.E.X. amp with speakers taps and I confirmed that I made the right choice buying HD800 as my end of the game headphones.

Anyone else share the boomy bass opinion? This would be unacceptable if true in a phone of this price

There's one in Queens NY on November 9th.

I did not find this to be the case.

Well, I didn't care for the Abyss, so there is really no substitute for a direct listen.

 Everyone would have made you feel at home... we know.

Thanks Lee for having this again. This was my 4th meet and by far my favorite.

It was awesome talking to Lee, Frank I, dminches, TaoWolf51, Craigster75, etc..

I feel in love w/ the WA5 w/ hd800s and the he-6s. Should be placing a order for this around march-april.

The Glenn OTL sounded great as well. I wouldn't mind having one of these too for the price.

WA234 seemed to be the amp of the event which is understandable. Although I didn't care much for the Abyss w/ it the hd800s shinned very well on it.

It was essentially a bunch of us awkwardly walking around making some awkward conversation and touching really expensive things - so yeah it was pretty awesome! Definitely come next year!
