Q00 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2007 Got home and slept... Was tired cuz i work at night. Gotta leave for work so i'll post my impressions tmr maybe. It was good to meet up with new faces and some old ones (no pun intended =p) as well.... I think it was a rather successful meet as it was in a very quiet area and we had lots of unused space!

yotiao 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2007 It was great success and thanks to everyone for coming, without you guys it won't be so successful. The function rooms were freezing cool, enough space for people walking around and all that. Besides was swimming pool but I was surprised gfgfmoses didn't send me those photos with bikini babes. Here are some pictures for you guys, taken by gfgfmoses' Canon EOS 30D So it begins, gears setting up and all that.... Robin's Ayre CX-7e CDP, it was a great player, crisp, clear, see-right-through-the-soundstage end of things... Robin's legendary chinese headphone amp TA-8PR, built by DIY master Ye Li. Japan's tube amp, Yamamoto HA-02, hooked up to lengcm's Consonance 1.1 CDP Ultrason Edition 9 and Grado RS-1 Consonance 1.1 + Brightstar Little Rock + Slim devices (now logitech's) Squeezebox 3 + virtual dynamics David 2.0 RCA being the "nerve"... The camera man and his preciousssss cmk setting up his rig, presenting to you the Audio Magic... (no pun intended) evil-zen's rig, Panasonic DVD S47, the recommended player by Benchmark; and Stax Gamma Pro, too bad one channel was not working during the meet... xjazzdummy and rko were setting up their gears together razer's table, Dynaudio MC15 Multimedia/Monitoring Speakers, and the headphones from left to right: Sony SA5000, AT-AD2000, Grado HF-1 and GS1000, the letterhead L3000, and AT-ESW9. yuujin's naked B22, he was fixing it due to some "accident" did you "see" a Darth Beyers and Headphiled Closed HD600?? Can you tell which is the smallest amp? Mind you, very "Big" sound despite of its size. Our dear Rameish at background cmk's rig, Denon's highend DVD A-11 universal player, Benchmark DAC1, TS Lim's Diva, AT-W100 and Beyers DT990. This rig was impressive. K1000, 4th gen iMod.. I love looking at the back of components, all those messy wires and all that... Kimber KS1030 was connecting the Ayre CX-7e to TA-8PR. Benchmark DAC1 USB and Acrolink's power cord that david_watt tried to poison me , Sony's CDP (what is the model please??) ...The fun continued Earmax Pro, small but mighty Only it can't drive K1000 Bel Canto DAC3, too bad no time to do A/B among benchmark's, lavry's, PS Audio GCHA, that personally I like it a lot TS Lim's Diva headamp, the headphone out was at the back impressive Audio Magic Stealth XXX power conditioner Sony SA5000 close-up HF-1 close-up ATH-ESW9 Dynaudio MC15 Multimedia/Monitoring Speakers Tons of PCDPs... the back panel of bel canto dac3, did you notice anything wrong here? the back of Yamamoto HA-02 the back panel of Squeezebox 3, ok enough of all the back panels' photos Sorry I can't help, just one more... I love looking at these wires TA-8PR and Benchmark DAC1 USB an attempted close-up of Denon A-11 one more... Vintage stax, personally I prefer the Gamma Pro over this Little Dot Micro Tube same thing... A few close-ups for some gear before.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lengcm 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2007 Firstly thanks to those who coordinated and hosted the meet. It was a good one with plenty of space and equipment. The only weird thing that happened was when someone started to play music through speakers.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
