Thanks to everyone for being incredibly kind to someone who was new. I'm really impressed with how well everything was put together and how open/friendly everyone was.

And no thanks to purrin because I've already opened up my new (to me) KGSSHV to figure out how difficult it would be to replace the stax jack because of him.

I'll be in on the group buy for Craig's DIY amp if you guys get one together. I didn't check out the measurements, but (for those who are local) we could probably salvage some old chassis from HSC or Weird Stuff on the cheap that would fit.

Nice to chat with you in person, Ravi. Congrats on the new rig.  headbang

I'm reading Quest's post in the voice of Charlie Murphy, and adding comedic violence where imagination requires it.

You've got it!  :)p7  I was so impressed that  CEE TEE did it all with class and a smile.  I stood by in my best sergeant at arms pose, but in the end I just got to watch the show!   :boom:

After dragging him out to the registration desk he demanded that he put on his name tag.  He grilled him hard including "Are you telling me you're not the guy who is buying gear and flipping it?" It was perfect because this meet was about enthusiast enjoying the hobby, not a lurker trying to make a buck off of us. 

Gogators arrives at the meet: (shipsupt, please add or correct anything that needs correction)
Gogators shows up and sneaks past the registration desk when he arrived at the meet. I followed him and ask if he wanted to check in at the front, and he said "oh, I'm not a Head-Fi member, my friend told me I could show up". At this point, I didn't know if he was Gogators or not.

Apparently CEE TEE recognized him while he was walking around the meet, and yanks him out of the listening room. He brought him to the front desk and asks him, "hey, where is your name tag?"

Gogators: "Oh, I don't have a name tag. I'm not on Head-Fi."
CEE TEE: "You sure about that? I think we printed out a name tag for you"

*CEE TEE then pulls out this tag and slaps it on Gogator's chest*


Gogators: *nervous* Oh, umm you have me confused. This is not me.
CEE TEE: You sure about that? You're not <gogators's real name>? You're telling me you're not that guy that I saw drop off headphones at rhythmdevils's house that one time??
Gogators: Umm... uh... I don't like this anymore! *rips off name tag and storms out*

We all thought it was extra special that CEE TEE was the one who kicked him out, because anyone who has met CEE TEE will agree that he is THE friendliest, most cheerful and bubbly dude you will ever meet.

Just wanted to thank everyone that planned the meet. One of the best times I have had in a while. Really enjoyed meeting everyone and spending the day listening to some of the best gear around. Meeting and sitting next to the folks from Eddie Current was a real pleasure as was listening to the Electra (at rather loud volume levels  :)p8). Really made the ESP950's shine!
Sorry I missed the fun with gogaters.  :)p3 Karma does have a way of getting you in the end.   :spank: walk the plank2

I get the feeling that CEETEE, Quest, Anax, Ship, and I, etc. aren't fully retired from organizing meets yet. I'm mulling a SoCal CHANG meet in the summer. Maybe the Bay Area in 2014 if we can secure this same location again.

I'd really like smaller meets instead. Maybe have them strictly be CHANG-Meets without mention on HF to limit the size.

Count me in for 2014. Also the Chang-Meets idea sounds good.

I'm mulling a SoCal CHANG meet in the summer.
Very much looking forward to that.
