Wow, a number of totl dacs and amps all around, and quiet sanctuary.  What a meet!  Lot of impressions, but right now just letting the brain relax from the auditory excitement.  Man there was a lot of good  er, really good stuff to hear. 

And I still did not hear it all................

Yea, fantastic time mates. Good gear, quite environment, hanging out with good dudes. These mini-meets really need to be in the regular rotation.

Yes, just excellent all around... I still can't believe the shear amount of top sounding gear there, truly great.

Thanks again to jexby and to everyone for participating and making this a great meet.  I really enjoyed meeting everyone, some for the first time and others for the second; really great company, with a ton of knowledge and great ears!  Even though there was a ton of gear there and I wasn't able to listen to it all, I was able to get some really great impressions of quite a few top-notch DACs/amps/headphones.

Impressions to come soon...!   :)p6

Definitely had a good time with you guys! Will have impressions up tomorrow, probably.

In the meantime, it seems I came home with an extra switching power supply, like what you'd use in a laptop. Not sure if I snagged it thinking it was for the Ember or if someone left it with me accidentally. Hoping it wasn't supposed to stay at the meet environment! Can ship it ASAP to whoever it belongs to.


Good to see we've brought in a new pyrate as well!  :)p1  Someday, I'd like to setup your Elekit amp with my source and compare against the other tube amps I have. Seems like a nice amp from what I heard, though.

This powder monkey has no clue how to insert pics.  Do I need to host them somewhere then use the img tag with html addy inside?

Someday, I'd like to setup your Elekit amp with my source and compare against the other tube amps I have. Seems like a nice amp from what I heard, though.

Thanks!  I've really been enjoying that Elekeit TU-8200DX and as you could probably tell, I'm all about the versatility and tweak-ability that this amplifier provides.  To me it has very few weaknesses, all awhile having many functions/abilities that others, even those well above its price range, do not.  It can be hard to quickly get a good sense of this amplifier, as a simple tube swap will often yield very different results; the combo I had playing most of the day I prefer with acoustic or live music, but it's not always the best for everything else, especially rock.

I'd be very interested in your opinions, so you'll have to do some comparisons at the next meet, but until then let me know if you have any questions about the kit.  There are a few reviews online and many positive experiences, but it's both a less known company and amplifier than many of these toys.
