I had the chance to break away from home and check out the meet.... and all I can say is WOW! There was a very good turnout and the amount of equipment was immense.

Firstly, let me thank Neilvg for opening his home to us. Beautiful place. Also, I'd like to thank everyone else who made this event possible by some type of contribution, be it time, effort, equipment, whatever. Very nice of you all to do this. I hope we can have another meet very soon, when I actually can spend more time listening and chatting.

There was so much equipment there but I had so little time. I really wanted to hear what the K701's were like (as I'm *still* waiting for mine to arrive). I checked out Slogg's 701's with the Millet Hybrid... and I was floored. I didn't feel like taking them off, but felt if fair to give others a chance. There was so much more that I wanted to hear at the meet, but I got paged for work and had to leave.

I had this thought while I was there. It was quite possible, rather, very possible that I'd love what I hear at this meet and then no longer enjoy my current setup. Anyone else thought about this? I mean, I know that the mere fact that I continue to be on this forum means I'll continue to see dollars leave my bank account at an astounding pace, but coming to a meet like this just means the speed of dollar departure rapidly increases.

Noooo. I was hoping the first person would post that it was a lame time since I couldn't come. I hate NorCal and I hate all of you! I'm never going there again...NEVER!

I'm having my own "meet" here in SoCal listening to Ennio Morricone on my HR-2. You guys aren't invited. I don't need no stinkin' Orpheus!

Voltron, you can be Bruno since I am already Borat.

I just got back and am eating some stir fry. Grand old time all around. Damned good Giros(sp?) too.

I'll post impressions later. For now, I need to go dominate some Beer Pong.

I think it's "Gyros"


Nice seeing you there Crimson (i was the asian guy with the blue polo)


Great meet, it was my first time. Wasn't feeling too well though unfortunately. Excellent set ups all around.

Just created an impressions thread: http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?p=1946790, one of the perks(?) of having to leave early.

Had a great time, tho, see you all again next time!

Well, the tournament has been cancelled, so looks like I'll be posting about the meet some more tonight.

I know exactly what you mean... I listened to the Qualia 010, the R10, the Orpheus HE90, the PS-1 through the DAC1, HR-1, HEV90, etc etc... through remarkable sources as well. After listening to those, I proceeded to the CD3ks and the HF-1s, and they sounded, well, paltry in comparison. My own rig? K501 through a MINT to a D-111 discman. Yeah... I'm going to be very dissatisfied for the next few weeks
