Great photos there!
It was great to finally be able to meet all the guys: Currawong, AnakChan, Shigzeo, ExpatinJapan, Bootsy1, Paul, Arkapol, Jamey Warren, and of course that JUDE dude
And of course Alex, Dan, Ken, Mark, Jerry, John, Kawa, who else was there?? There were so many people it's like reality TV Head Fi edition!
So the night before the show, which was Friday, I was supposed to meet up with the Head-Fi guys after dinner for some meet at the hotel. But at the same time there was this big Typhoon that's supposed to come to Tokyo so I told AnakChan and Jude that I won't risk not being able to catch a train back to my hotel in Ueno since I figured the meet would easily go pass 1AM.
But yeah, the next day I met everyone at the show and it was great! Of course I didn't really have that much time to talk since I planned to cover the entire show in one day and skipping Sunday.
I was so surprised to finally see shigzeo. Gosh I thought you would be an Asian guy! Hahahaha
The highlights of the show:
ALPHA DOG and I am on the waiting list!!!
LCD-X, LCD-XC -- I got the X with me now!
JH Roxanne -- SUPER IEM!!!! Also getting these!
Fostex HP-V1 and RP both prototypes -- they told me I'm on the list.
Shure 1540 -- Not sure if I can get a unit
AK100 Mk2 -- good stuff expect to see a lot of 2nd hand AK100
The AK10 was good if you're using iOS device, go check it out. Very close to AK100Mk2 sound.
What else was there? I missed the Hifiman player and the Sony player and the Edition 5.
Sorry for the use of CAPS. Guess I'm just so thrilled.
