March 21, 200917 yr Enjoy! Awaiting pics and impressions, especially of my soon-to-be new amp. What source are you using? We're using Justin's Sony SACD player, not sure which model it is but it seems to be a hit so far.
March 22, 200917 yr Excellent Meet. Impressions later, but for now just wanted to say it was great seeing the HCers in attendance.
March 22, 200917 yr Definitely a good meet. Good to see everyone. Impressions? Well, one that matters... The only thing better than how the BHSE looks is how it sounds. This thing is the real deal. Justin has outdone himself. Other impressions will follow tomorrow. Just walked in after a 5 hour return trip.
March 22, 200917 yr We are up and running. BHSE sounds sweet with O2MKII's. How does it sound compared to the Warthog?

March 22, 200917 yr Well someone had to do it. Nikongod's Custom Creation - one of my favorite listens of the meet Setting up the BHSE - pictures fail to do this amp justice Someone brought this budget rig, it sounded ok... Nice crown. Nice looking Little Dot MKIV VPI's mighty balanced M3 - sounded every bit as good as I remembered. vcoheda's B52 and his KGSS, wish I'd been able to give this a listen. Ari's Melos stack, Grado fans rejoice! Team Source First - Northstar DAC w/ balanced mini3 and Millett Starving Student VPI's gorgeous (sounding and looking) RTR rig New Woo on the block - I spoke with Jack at length about this product and I think the production version should be a big hit. That's it for pics for me, detailed impressions of the few rigs that I listened to. I spent a lot of time catching up with old friends and making new ones. As always the NYC crew put on a heck of a show. And poor spritzer, if only he knew what I was up to in a few hours... :veryevil
March 22, 200917 yr Thanks for the fantastic pics Nate and the captions . It looked like a wonderful meet. Thanks for letting us know that it is Nikongod's amp. I bet it sounded wonderful. Also, that RS1 looks nice with the brown headband with the Melos. There was definitely some great gear and good people there as well
March 22, 200917 yr Nice pictures. Some very nice eye-candy there. I will be interested in the impressions especially regarding the Little Dot MKIV and BHSE.
March 22, 200917 yr Nice pictures. Some very nice eye-candy there. I will be interested in the impressions especially regarding the Little Dot MKIV and BHSE. I heard that Little Dot at the last meet and was unimpressed, remember it being noisy and uninvolving.
March 22, 200917 yr Nice pics, Nate! Looks like I missed a fun meet. I was planning on going, but a lovely week at work demanded that I stay home and rest in lieu of making the 10 hour round trip.
March 22, 200917 yr I heard that Little Dot at the last meet and was unimpressed, remember it being noisy and uninvolving. I also was not a big fan.
March 22, 200917 yr I heard that Little Dot at the last meet and was unimpressed, remember it being noisy and uninvolving. The LD III mk.. is the worst piece of audio junk I've ever listened to, despite the "great" -according to the owner- NOS tubes which supposedly were a huge improvement It was noisy, strident, bright, uninvolving... it managed to kill the music in more ways I can describe.

OK, I was hoping maybe they changed something, but my impression was just meh. Not trully horrible, but certainly nothing special. I was worried that I had become jaded.
March 22, 200917 yr I had a great time at the meet and it was really nice to be able to put faces to some of the familiar names. Thanks for being so welcoming and sorry I had to book it out of there to get the train into town. All I have to offer posterity are some low-rez listener's POV amp porn shots of my favorite stuff. The big dog. HF-1s sound so sweet out of this! O2 MkII, BHSE, Sony 5400ES. My first-ever taste of electrostatic headphones. Which I guess is a bit like losing your virginity to the entire Swedish bikini modeling team, working in shifts. O2 MkI, KGSS, G08. Spent a long time here! Lambda Sigs off what I think the guy said was a KG TT? Another big thumbs up. After a couple of hours, I was ready to immediately cancel my HD800 order and start trawling for a stat rig, but a wise Monkey talked me down from the ledge. Went and listened to some HP1000s and vintage RS-1s off Ari's setup until I felt better.
March 22, 200917 yr that some amazing selection of gear over in the Eastern provinces. You guys don't cheapskate it do you.
