"I swear baby, that's just not my bag..." Your mom said she didn't mind being the penis pump at all. Already post-count whoring over here? We do have multi-quote here bitch!

Welcome Julian, aka TheCool, and have fun here. Not sure yet how you got the d-bag moniker but you're Cool in my book. See you at some more meets I hope. Cheers

Welcome to the madhouse, Wayne!

Shoot, I almost forgot to post this! Thanks 909!

Hell, I ended up with a Blue Hawaii, a balanced B22, an ES-2, Jades, and HE90s in addition to my own gear. People just get generous when the alternative is packing it onto an airplane.

That was a mere human who represented you. We are Voltronus, Decimator Of The Universe. Wow, I feel weak with geekness right now.

Didn't hear it. Ask cetoole, he won all of it I think.

No.

Elvis Costello -- Secret, Profane and Sugarcane The years of hanging out at the SF Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival and with his buddy T Bone Burnett have worn him down and now he has his own bluegrass album. Sounds good so far.

He uses the clamps for dual purposes: they hold the sign and they are headphone holders. Rather sleek, actually. You may not have noticed but I was assimilated after being Segwayed into a corner. You will be receiving Our demand letter shortly. Resistance is futile.

And here is the self-important douche's pointer on the Hoffman site to his conflict-of-interest-riddled remarks:

I guess I thought the c in c-pad was comfy. Like these options, or is the HD414 pad a whole different thing?

That's a cool report, Steve. I wish I had checked it out, and may take up Dan Lavry on the offer of a loaner. You should find an old jazz album with that serious separation left and right of horns vs. piano or similar and see how those narrowing settings work out. Dan said that such records were what he had in mind when attacking this problem. Interestingly, it was HeadFest 2007 in San Jose that got him thinking about the impact of balancing headphones and keeping your sources balanced because so many people were talking about it. He came up with the PiC idea as a result.

Moar burn in! I have never liked the sound of Grados with the c-pads. The current ones on headphile look like this, but I have not heard these specific ones:

Whatever only in the sense that I don't know cigars, and I was not looking at it when I typed. Still appreciated. Sorry for the interruption, Monkey. We sure missed you this weekend.

You'll know if we are sick of you only long enough to hear the whistling toward the back of your head. Have fun over here Matt, or should I say Mark? It was fun meeting you and hanging a bit. Tell me if you can stomach those Honduran panatellas I gave you. I still have the Monte or whatever it is.

Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan and others -- Night of the Cookers btw, I love the way Jacob has posted in the closed listening thread just to tease us with his admin powers.

You are correct sir! Title track, even. The piano sounded so much better and the horns were so distinct and dynamic in the Music Matters issue that it was not even a close call on which was better. Oh yeah, and the cymbals, my god, the cymbals.

You've seen my post by now, but no it doesn't.

The new TTVJ portable designed by Millett is not a hybrid and has no tubes. It is a very slim amp that is similarly sized to an iPhone and even thinner. I believe it uses a *similar* volume control to the Pico Slim with a wheel that also has a color-changing LED that cycles from red to green to yellow or something based on the volume setting. I stupidly did not hear it but it is cool looking and Pete said it can drive Senn cans or IEMs nicely.

VanJam is rolling out right now! Sans WiFi because Bandago screwed us over, but we are working on mobile posting options. Cheers all and we will see you this afternoon~

There's still time! Just say whether you can make the time, and we will figure out how to make it happen!

I cannot start meet impressions because that is Matt's job, but I think we should merge over some pictures and have an official impressions thread. Anyway, here is how the MOAR team was greeted on arrival here at 12:30 this morning: While I have been on this ongoing conference call, Gene has been clawing away at his laptop and then Stephen came down to join him for some coffee shandies: Ah, the breakfast of champions: More MOAR to come.
