Voltron

Holy shit, now I am jealous I cannot go to that meet!

These are cool looking, but I am in the minority that likes the HD800's looks. The cable is hefty, split L/R all the way to the plug, which is a Neutrik. The cable reads: Peacock MKII2x2x0, 22mm2 (AWG24) - audio [aes/ebu] - OFC by Sommer Cable - Germany Seems odd about the aes/ebu reference on the cable, but what do I know. Definitely going to balance these into a 4-pin XLR.

Milt Jackson -- The Prophet Speaks Sounds pretty damn good on the T1 fresh out of the box.

I'm going to need one of these as a headphone stand. Todd came through and the T1 arrived today. The case is spectacular, and probably my favorite headphone case I own. The actual T1 headphones are much smaller than I expected, and I understand Todd's comment about people with big ears now. Comfortable on the head, and my ears do fit inside the cups, but I can feel them a bit. Might get used to it and not notice pretty quickly. Nice fit-n-finish, though, and an appealing design aesthetic. Sound pretty good out of the box, but pretty polite so far. Not much like other Beyers, which is a good thing as Padam says. Here are some iPhone pics just to show the unveiling.

Shout Out Louds -- Work

HBD Harbeths! Rule Britannia!

Yeah, I like the cover art better than the album so far.

Shearwater -- The Golden Archipelago

I will gladly relieve you of some vinyl at CJ.

Apt title and expression on the cover photo, eh Stretch?

I meant, did you get your sorry selves to your home so that you could have a giant snort of Scotch and try to adjust to the new reality of Eastern Standard Time.

You betcha, Stretch. How's the jet lag feeling?

Make it home yet, Stretch?

Glad I could help.

I know and that saddens me. Working in that area Thursday/Friday so staying over for the meet is a bonus.

It will be great to meet Haj, and to see all the other folks who are going. I already asked Nate to change the thread title because the meet is actually Saturday March 6, but close enough.

Not even a thread here in the 'Case for this meet!? Odd given that some illustrious Nor'East members are attending: Salty, Stretch, Nate, Ian (I hope so anyway), Deepak, Ari, Skullguise, voodoochile, others? And now that I am definitely going to be there, I thought I would put out the challenge to any others who might drag ass up to Beantown and turn this into a Travel Team Event. Jeff? Dinny? You guys need a little warm-up before the NYC meet. JP? Dan? Put together a carload from the DC/MD/PA/VA crew and this thing is rockin'! Come on, let's do this!

Thanks for that rundown, Naaman, it is very helpful. I am thinking about the Lexus RX 450H hybrid that is about to come out, in part because I have the sedan and like it. I am assuming that the bigger Lexus is the GX460 and it does seem like a big truck. Did you drive a Q7? I've had a couple Audis and had very good luck with them.

Nice. Which other cars did you consider? We are going to move on from minvan stage here soon, and I need to look at a few options.

Now playing:

Is this pic of her front or back?

Hey Ricey, good to see you posting in here. I am going to see Kaki in May, and I think it will be great stuff. Which of those DeJohnette albums would you listen to first? It will be next up for me.

Haven't seen it, but here are mine. I don't know what red they used because I referenced a UE color called "deep red" or something like that. Huh?

30 pages of posts in Todd's forum thread.

Creepy coffins, actually.
