Man, this makes me want to host one here in India - gurubhai, Sholay, Thad .... Any ideas? Any body else that I'm missing?

I'm glad it turned out to be an awesome event. I wish I could have been there-- I had too many commitments, including my dad's retirement party. Hope we do it again real soon!

I get the feeling we'll be doing this again soon. These moderate sized meets of 40-50 people are really fun.

A mini meet did happen last sunday in Bengluru that i attended. Few people, but enjoyed a lot. I am all in to plan any future meets. The difficult part is to find people 

Of course I'm interested! But of all the audio people I've met here, Ganesh is the only one who thinks of 'phones as much more that something you use if you really can't turn the speakers on.

I doubt that there would be much vendor interest.

But hey... don't let me put you off the idea!

 

Frankly I'm rather surprised nobody has commented on the Studio and it's pairing with the Vinyl rig and HD800. You guys scared of the price or what? If there's better headphone sound to be had, I haven't heard it. Not to mention the studio was the amp used for the DAC off as well.

It's hard to make a judgment of it, as the music selection was not very familiar to me. The sound was great, of course, but I was more impressed by the setup Marv brought at the last CanJam (was it exactly like the studio? Or something custom like the Levi?).
I think the sound was tuned too bright for my preference. Same with the 4-45 last year.
The M7 + Levi + Anax 3.0 HD-800 was more to my preference, tonally.

I however deeply enjoyed the naturalness of the Vinyl rig vs. any DAC that was plugged to the Studio. Makes me consider getting a TT.
