Fingers crossed Dallas is a big one! This will be my first show and meet ever, and I was already looking forward to making it a yearly event. We do it big in Texas, so let's hope we live up to it with this show.

I would love to say hi in person and will hopefully see you there!

I plan to be one of the first one's there and I am going straight to ZMF.

Based on drive time from Houston, I may not make it into the ZMF room until 11:30 or so.

Happy to meet you!

Same! @Wes S and I corresponded several times in the past, and it is always fun to meet people you e-like in real life

Just got this in, and the weight is no joke; the synergy with Atrium is really something else.

Now I'm itching for a DAC upgrade...

Welcome to the club!

Lots of good info to takes things to another level and then some, in the HA300MK2 thread.

On the bright side of things, perhaps Zach and Bevin will re-start the ZMF Fest ( i think that was what they called it)
They did it for a few years, but after CJ Chicago became a thing, they stopped holding them.

Found the link:

Be very cool to see that return.

I went to the last one in 2019, if they started this back up and schedules worked out I'd be there.

I was at the last one as well. I would love to see it start up again. It was a great time.

I have the 3A and it continues to impress with the Atriums. Seriously any of the Cayin tube amps is all you need. Insane level of imaging and soundstage

 

[JackarlTwo]

Has anyone compared Icon Audio HP8 mk2 with Feliks Audio Elise, especially with Atrium and/ or VC? I'm looking for a warmer sound and not necessarily "perfect neutrality". Woo-audio WA2 and Cayin-HA-3A are definitely interesting too...

I’ll stay out of this for now, but can share Woo Audio WA2 + VC impressions and/or Eikon (older/less refined biocellulose drivers, so some commonalities with Atrium) via DM as needed. I’ve bored other folks here with plenty of my raving about the WA2…

Congrats! Were the googly eyes extra?

I got to hear most of the feliks products at can jam. With the base tubes they are extremely warm. Personally for me too warm to get all the details. The woo audio WA22 is buttery and silky smooth( a friend has one), doesn’t sacrificed details but it definitely makes everything smoother over. For me the Cayin strikes the perfect middle ground of getting the spirit of tubes while also having a level of neutrality needed for greater detail.

Tube choice can alter the comparisons …
