I agree with you about trouble makers, but there are a lot of politically banned people as well. USG

I would think that after all this, perhaps HF might be interested in a fresh start and offer amnesty to the banned...... if they had interest in returning.....

Can you hear the piano on Bob Dylan's Mondern Times, "Spirit on the Water" and if you can, where is it? my mid range set up: Computer>optical Constantine>Woo3, GS1 Listening with my 880s tonight: (stock foobar 9.5, 32 bit, kernel streaming, album@320kpps mp3~EAC With the Woo3 the piano is subdued, on the right and mixed into the music With the GS1, I can hear the piano as a separate instrument, but barely..... lots of air and space to the cut, but I'm having difficulty picking out the piano with the tube amp and can only do it slightly better with the SS. What are you guys hearing? USG

Interesting question.... I would have thought it required more sugar than olives have, but then I found http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/request115.asp.... however, it does not really use olives.... it uses Autumn olives, which are an Asian berry like fruit....

I was following a thread on HF when I noticed a reference to head-case. I pressed refresh to follow the posts and when the page refreshed, the reference was gone.... Been here ever since. USG

Hi YJ I have not heard the Yamamoto, would you be able to describe what you feel the flaws are? Thanks USG

I have one in my collection as well.... classic piece.... ETA 2824 movement.

Thanks a lot SP, that's just what I was looking for..... USG

Speaking of the mini^3 I have a question for Mr. n_maher: I didn't get a look inside the mini you brought to the meet, but how small is the mini^3 board, and what kind of power supply did you use? Would it be possible to post a few pics of the inside of the balanced Mini? USG

Can't remember the last time I heard that word......

Hi Gloco Welcome aboard...

Would head-case be able to handle the volume?

Agreed, that 5 was really nice.....

Is this the CD3k?

I only saw one source at Jack's table...... I don't remember what it was but it's in a pic in the other thread Reks made for me..... Nate also posted some pics of Jack's table, so maybe he got a shot of it.... Let me know if you find what your looking for.... USG

I have a pic but it's not that great..... USG

Hi Nick Here are some of my Woo Pics.... the first one is before everybody got there, Jack told me that all the amps he brought were V-cap upgrades, except this one with blackgates, which was his favorite because of its very large sound stage and here's Jack ...................

I have a picture of part of it USG

Hi Guys It was a great meet. I always enjoy everyone's impressions. First off, it was too bad trose49 couldn't make it. I was looking forward to meeting him. n_maher, on the other, hand did make it and he brought some great sounding stuff Nate was nice enough to open the Herstens DAC so we could have a peak inside it was hard to compare the balanced mini M^3 to the one I brought because Nate was feeding it from an Arcam into his "Hertsens" DAC and I was going optical out of a Shuttle computer to a Constantine DAC..... but I'll leave it to those who are not as affected by placebo effect as I am to report on the sound.... I thought the pico was very nice. Its size was much smaller and its sound was much bigger than I anticipated... it was so small, I took a picture next to my watch to show the size trose49's name badge made the rounds.... here it is gracing a Woo 3+... and speaking of the Woos, Jack brought the ones with the V-cap upgrades and they sound tremendous USG

I have a few name badges left, anyone else from head-case going to the meet? USG

can you send a PM with screen name and real name?

that's only a little more than half the guys going..... go figure.....

No one wants a name badge?
