Apparently this one is a one of a kind and won't be produced.

If you're referring to the amp sitting on the BW, no, it's the CK2. I've been lugging it around to meets for years.

The CKKIII? I built one years ago.

OK apparently there was a different amp sitting on top of the BW at one point. Or not. I'm so confused.

I'll borrow two of his 1000W Class A amps one day and report back. Just not during the summer.

Did someone plan to give more substanstial listenings impressions ?

this meeting was promising for different reasons and one of these was that different HEK was there . Beta and production. Anax gave me Succint impressions in the SB but could you elaborate a bit for those who took the time to give a listen to this Bunch of KE1K ?

I too had a great time. Just the right sized meet. I spent most my time just chatting with friends and acquaintances and meeting new folks. So bummed I couldn't join you all for dinner. Unlike the Newport show, there was no urgency to hear 8 million rooms. I loved the old beat up tables, totally my speed. AND I got to hear some world class headphone systems! By far my favorite was the vinyl on Mike's spectacular HD800s! I've been suffering from severe digital glare ear disorder lately and that was just a breath of fresh air. That being said, I think Jason and Mike Moffat have struck gold with that megacomboburrito filter, that just might make it possible for me to enjoy digital again. And I think the little Bifrost/Lyr stack they brought could be a game changer - that kind of sound for under 1K? wow.
Hey Darin,

why did you photoshop out my hair in those pics of me?

? I KNOW I haven't gone THAT bald yet!

I would have brought measuring rig, but honestly, just too much for me to do. I don't think anyone cared enough to do comprehensive listening, just informal sessions. Alex (AZ) maybe did.

I believe the consensus is that my latest production pair was the best sounding. All the pairs were production. Schiit's pair had the most difficult treble - I had to do a TP mod on it, and even then the treble still had that splashy steely timbre. Mr. Speakers Ether was actually better balanced than that pair IMO. I believe Ultrabike/Gilberto felt the same way.

Ringingears · « **Reply #128 on:** July 04, 2015, 04:52:52 AM »

Not sure if I heard them pre or post TP, but I didn't think the Schiit pair was that special. Not 3k special. Treble did have issues. Bass was not what I was expecting. Actually preferred the Ether they had to the HFM, with the Lyr/Bifrost stack.

AZ · « **Reply #129 on:** July 04, 2015, 06:01:50 AM »

Wouldn't call it comprehensive listening but I did hear all three from my Yggy/Rag combo at different times of the day. Spent no more than 5 minutes with each and surroundings were quite noisy. I now try to comment only positively on the sound of other headphones. Marv's set was better balanced, especially mids. Schiit's unit was more exciting on the bottom while ohhgourami's (different pads and all) was more Hi-Fi sounding especially up top and actually reminded me of "Ether".
