Yes, I'm the first again!

I thought it was really fun. Can't wait to see the pics and the time lapse movie!

You mean November 2nd?
 
I very much enjoyed seeing you all and hearing the equipment! Now to decide what my next headphone will be based on the meet impressions...

Great meet, nice to see more people there compared to last year. I hope that's the trend. Thanks to Darin for arranging again.

Thanks to everyone who came to the meet! Great turn out and amazing gear people brought. I think we need two days to be able to listen to everything...
 
Highlights for me? 
Abyss - wish I could afford it.
Noble Audio K10 - Getting a pair for sure!
Schiit Vali - Getting one, if anyone will ever be able to get one. I have a feeling they will be sold out fast...
Mr. Speakers Alpha Dogs - Very impressive
Cavalli LAu - better than buying one is having a demo unit to use.
 
Thanks again to everyone. Everyone was so nice and extremely helpful. 
 
I hope we don't outgrow the room next year!

Big thanks to Darinf and any/all others responsible for putting this meet together.  I had a great time.  I came mainly to check out the HD800 and LCD-3 to see if they were something I would be interested in purchasing and was able to test out multiple pairs (thank you to those that brought them).  At present, I do not need to pursue either. The highlight for me was the Fostex TH900.  I hadn't heard them before and was pleasantly surprised with how nice they sounded and how comfortable they were.  Also, the balanced HD650 on the Schiit Mjolnir and Gungnir sounded really nice. 
 
I was also intrigued by Darin's software that mimics different types of speakers (forgive me if that is not a great description, but it's the best I could come up with at this hour).  I'm looking forward to trying it out at home on my own gear.
 
Happy Sunday to all.

Very nice to have meet you mang! I will post some graphs sometime later. Nice HE-6 + Krell rig you got there!

Looks like a great event! I had nine hours with my K10 while you were all there, so small consolation I suppose.
See you all at the next one.

I have tried Darin's software as well...   I really enjoyed the "movie" version, as it really gave the feeling as if I was sitting in the cenima. Considering I live 3 hrs away from the neares cenima, Darins software is a great sollution.
 
Pop corn in hand, a DVD.... and good to go!
