Some seriously unobtainable or expensive amps here.
Oh fuck you. Marv walks up to me with an excited look on his face and says: "You have to hear this amp!"
I see the $7000 Wells amp and think "wtf, is this legit?"
I put on the Abyss and 10 seconds later want to barf in my mouth. Sorry compressed stage, no top end air, and a warm sound like a dying LCD-3 out of a leben. Super dick move, Marv. Worst surprise of the meet.
The questyle DAPs, the new BW PSU, and the Ether's consistency were the positive surprises.
