Probably a bad idea. Jude / Joe will probably start following you now on HF.

Could folks say more about the audio zenith, please?

So the solid state tubes for the Lyr basically turns it into a super Asgard?

The good:

Hanging out with great company.
The vendors essentially just kicking it with the folk. No hard sell today. You're among the smarter set.
Breakfast, Lunch (at Yi Mei), Dinner (at Noors), and Ice cream (at Cold Stone) with the peeps. Nuff said.

Now the rest in no particular order:
The Schiit stack. Too bad it isn't something I could take home yet. I asked if they could put bobbleheads of Jason and Mike on the new solid state tubes. Jason quickly nixed it.Already making some room for the beef roast or even the MB Gugnir when they drop. Given an approximate date, I can wait.
The Black Widow. Short time listening to it with my HE560s but made me want to listen to more when I have the chance. I do have the Liquid Carbon coming in. Decisions, decisions.
Geek Out V2. Man, running it through the Leckerton almost made me do an autobuy. Well, only if I didn't win the raffle. We'll see.
EC Studio. The EC house sound at its finest. Just a little out of my $$$ range.
Yggdrasil vs EAR Acute DAC. Finally a DAC off between worthy opponents. By and large, I do prefer the Yggdrasil, as it plays more to what I like in a sound sig. Even for a n00b like me, there was a distinct sound difference.
UE ear scanning. I got mine done like half the people there. Thanks for the service. However, already got the uERM, but if it needs reshelling...
LFF's tracks. Why is it I can only listen to the goodness at meets? Why you hate me?!?!


The bad:
HE-1000. I'd expected a bit more oomph and energy from this can. But it's not supposed to sound this limp for $3k. Disappointing.

The ugly:
I talked more than I expected, and missed out on some of the other good stuff (Darin's and Alex' table especially.)
Various things at dinner and at Cold Stone: Hilarity and shamelessness. I'll just say, I did like anime girl.

I thank Casey from LH, Merv and Brooks Berdan for getting everyone in one place, and everyone for making all this fun possible.

Let's do this again soon. You guys are the best.

Hmm.. Schiit Show in August....
