Here we go folks, please post your impressions here, and any photo's you all may have.
A quick post from me, just to get the ball rolling. To be honest, an absolutely outstanding meet. Purely on the equipment level, there was nothing that i was underwhelmed with after listening to. The electrostatic rigs were amazing, the Woo ges and H60, yeah baby, from classical to Metallica to Tommy Emmanuel- everything was just right. The Naim set ups, too good, and vinyl=
John's B22 and HD800 was also right on the money, very nice rig John, the 800's are a big step up from the 650's to my ears bud. Jason's Woo rig, you're a lucky man Jas, the rig is lovely, i was never a fan of Sennheisers before, but your amp ties in very nice with your 600's, so much so my view of Sennies has been well and truly changed. this also goes for Mark's GD amp, it also drove the 600's ,and all the 'phones i tried with it very nicely. Bargain of the day Mark, i really like the amp. Alex k's preamp was also an eye opener, i will be in contact with him in the not to distant future to discuss build, great drive and control all round. I also really enjoyed Jose's portable amp and dac set up, a very nice little amp that drove all the 'phones i threw at it with ease- once again making the Senn's sound lively and detailed, which was something i thought the 600's and the 650's were missing. Owen, hat's off to you mate, your amps are top drawer. I was amazed by the starving student, amazing for the size and the cost, plus the panache of tubes. To both Camerons, thank you for bringing the 'phones and the amps, even though i was a little preoccupied ensuring folks were fed and watered, i did listen to your gear. Your recabled 600's and 650's were very nice, and Good times Cameron, they sounded great with your amps- not impressed with the Hornet to be honest, but then i never have been- SR71,P3+ and D10 as dac combo were awesome with all of the headphones at the meet which could be used (everything bar Johns balanced 800's). Tom, enjoy the T4 mate, it is a superb little gadget, and the size and form factor make it a winner.
Portable fans- as soon as i have some chips that make the P3+ sound similar to the SR71 i will be posting it, along with the T3 prototype around for the portable fans to sample and report your views on.
Gents, it was a great day, i thank you all for the respect you gave to the venue and the equipment, and i thank you all for turning up, providing and enjoying the equipment. The meet would never of happened without your support, so well done to all. I must give an extra special mention to Ian, your tables, time in setting up, equipment and advice were invaluable mate.
There was so much to listen to, and it was so impressive, i really wish i had more time to have been able to spend more time with all the set ups. My head hurts now i am trying to process all the information i had to take in today, and i am still a bit spun out as to how well the day went, so if i missed any names, please forgive me. Great day folks
