Could folks say more about the audio zenith, please?

Quite neutral tonally. Not as dull or dead sounding as the stock PM-1 or 2. In general more articulate and clear sounding. Smoother than stock PM-2 as well (stock pads + stock PM-2 = good bass and mids, just kinda lifeless, dull, and limp sounding...rolled off treble yet with a weird peak that made them sound rough). I took a pair to the Denver meet and they were well received. A couple folks said they still sounded a bit overdamped, but most made no mention of that.

overdamped

We noted this as well over a brief listen. The only potential drawback in my book.

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

Am not on Head-Fi, but I think Jude is still following me!  p:8

Fantastic meet!


I haven't had this much FUN in a long time.


Winners for me was the Eddie Current Black Widow and the new Schiit stack which was there.


The best, as always, was hanging out with you guys throughout the day and into the early morning hours.


I'll be posting more pictures soon!

FIXED. LOL

Anyway....

Here are some more pics:





The amazing little Project Ember. This is a great little amp and I was surprised both by the price and sound quality. Just wish it had more volume.
The other amps in the back are the EC Black Widow with an unreleased Cavalli amp up on top. Both were just fantastic.





Legends of the trade.





One of the two UE reps who were there taking our 3D Ear scans. THANKS UE FOR THE SUPPORT!!!





Enjoying the HD800.





No chang meet is ever complete without a DAC off!





Paradox Headphones with the Liquid Glass. ALO Continental Dual Mono in the foreground MIA as it was being passed around.





More listening fun!





Carefully listening to the glory of the music.





One of the many great chats held throughout the day.





The sexy and great sounding Eddie Current Black Widow with an unreleased Cavalli Audio amp on top.





The always great sounding Cavalli Liquid Glass





Enjoying some yummy Indian cuisine with great friends.


And finally....


The Changstar Pirates in attendance:
