We had a great time at the meet. However, this gathering was not quite the same without Justin, Collin, Matt, and Brent. Hopefully Doug will accompany us in 2019. I would like to thank Justin for sending GSX-MKII, Gilmore Lite MKII for the meet. I would also like to say thank you to Arthur of Matrix Audio for sending the Matrix & Violetric loaner equipment including the Matrix Mini Pro 2S & Violetric HPA-100. Really appreciate John Morison and Audio Club of Atlanta for organizing the event. Great to see Audeze & Schiit attending the event. I had a blast talking and chatting with Tom of Beezar Audio and listen to Doug & Tom Torpedo 4. Sorry for bad iPhone pictures. My table Doug & Tom new Torpedo 4 pre-production prototype (sorry for bad lighting & picture) We had a great time. Wachara's Jeklin Float Clone was there. I brought the Aristaeus and people love it with the SR009. SR-009 + Aristaeus bliss Brought along my modified CD3000 as well. Just about everyone likes it over the Sony MDR-Z1R. Audeze & Schitt were there teaming up. Their LCD-4 & LCD-4Z sounded wonderful out of Justin's GS-X MKII This lovely couple was there. They both checked out the SR009 & the Jeklin Clone. The lady in the middle is a true headphone geek. She owns the Focal Utopia. Toward the end of the meet, we had a little Torpedo 4 & GSX MKII shoot out. Everyone agreed that they were equally wonderful despite difference in tonality. This gentlemen actually prefer the Torpedo 4.

Got a loaner Gilmore Lite MKII from Justin for a local Atlanta meet and this is a great sounding little amp. I'm very impressed by its clean dynamic and sheer sense of power for such a very desktop friendly amplifier driving my HD800 (black dragon upgraded cable). I also got lucky that my old Headroom DPS (dedicated/dynamic power supply) happen to work perfectly with the Lite MKII. Justin also confirmed it and the background is blacker while the sense of depth is better with a dedicated power supply. Great amp!

No issue Doug. I will just take the T4 home without Tom knowing it.

Very nice case. I love the fact that it keeps the footprint of the mini very small.

Whoa...that's a great deal especially good for driving the HD800. Deal has expired already though.

A loaner gears from Matrix & Violetric arrived yesterday. Justin's goodies including the GS-X MKII & Gilmore lIte MKII alonge with Audeze LCD-X will be delivered today. I'm excited for the meet. Meet won't be the same without Brent, Justin, and Collins though. Doug showing up this weekend with be awesome!

Hi John, Got the shipping confirmation from Arthur Power. We will have the Matrix Mini I Pro 2S and Violetric HPA-100 to play with. Justin of Headamp will be sending the the Gilmore Lite MKII along with the GS-X MKII hopefully early next week. I hope we can spread the word out. This is shaping up to be a really good local meet.

I auditioned the blue DSHA-2 before and that's a great sounding amp. If not for owning the Ravenswood and L3, I would buy that in a hurry.

Better craftsmanship than the HE-1000 V2? I really couldn't stand Hifiman build quality. I have to admit that the HEK V2 also sounded very good out of the SuSy Dynahi.

Nice....John. Would love to listen to the LCD-4 finally.

They probably will just paint the frame black with gold protective screen and upgrade the ear pads and charge us $2000 more

Well not sure if this is a good news or not. Time to save up again.

So pretty!

S = Six Thousand USD

But those Chinese collectors could also have a lot more funds. Yes, Wiktor have been flipping for a very long time.

So the amp isn't balanced?

Have a great birthday dude!! You deserve plenty of happiness today!

Sad to see. Oppo was somewhat responsible for killing off Sony ES & Pioneer Elite video players...only to witness its own slow dead. I owned the 105 & HA-1 and though that they were quite good for the price. The HA-1 was a beast but the sound was a little bit dry for my taste.

Why not call them up and check with them? They still kept mine when I talked to them three years ago. You can also send your JH13pro for an upgrade to the Freqphase model.

Hey Justin, Can you bring the prototype to the mini-meet in Atlanta?

I'm in as always. Justin, you are coming right?

Have a great birthday!

Stay safe guys.

What's the price point on the T5 Doug? The prototype unit that I heard last year was quite a stellar amp.

That's quite the move, but glad you found a new place. Hope the kids love the new city. I will call you in a day or two as I have an early meeting tomorrow.
