Asr Posted June 6, 2009 Author Report Posted June 6, 2009 Great pics Al, sounds like a grand time was had by all on the VanJam tour. My audio gear arrived back from LA today (thanks again Greg) and I discovered that my Parasound AWG12 power cord is missing, can't find it anywhere. If anyone has it or knows where it went, I'd like to recover it. It was plugged into my BHSE and I guess I probably left it in either Catalina C or D. "12 AWG" and "Wan Lung" are printed on it and length is 6 feet. Also someone left a CD in one of my CD cases, it's Songs of Joy & Peace by Yo-Yo Ma & Friends. Whoever owns it can PM me and I'll send it back.
Dominatrice Posted June 6, 2009 Report Posted June 6, 2009 ahaha i didnt even notice that...its kinda funny that doesnt really hinder the performance to my ears. DAM i love those HD800s...
HeadphoneAddict Posted June 6, 2009 Report Posted June 6, 2009 I kept finding it hard to believe that anybody would be so pretentious as to ride a Segway at a meet. So I did just a little checking on Noel Lee (CEO Monster Cables) using google. It turns out that he has a degenerative nerve disease and has trouble walking. Here is the URL. So from now on I'll not bash Mr. Lee for riding a Segway. I'll continue to bash Monster Cables, however. I was using my cane for the whole meet (fibromyalgia, chronic tendonitis, enthesopathy, gout, pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary vein obstruction) but I was finally in a wheelchair by Sunday PM at the airport. It also sucked to have to pay $250 for round trip oxygen on the plane. I have been considering a Segway at times for the future, but usually when it is bad I cannot even stand on a Segway.
LFF Posted June 6, 2009 Report Posted June 6, 2009 I haven't posted much here but I gotta say the following: It was a real blast meeting some of you. I didn't get to meet all of you but I did enjoy finally meeting some of you. I hope it's not the last time I see you guys in person. I just wish I had more time to hang out with all of you a lot more than the brief intro's we had.
TheCool Posted June 6, 2009 Report Posted June 6, 2009 Oh that's easy, he asked for it in a post Well, I wouldn't quite say I... Tis true. I'm the head-fi d-bag that snagged the Enigma 580s . Perhaps, one day, I may be referred to as the head case d-bag who snagged the Enigma 580s or, better yet, I could possess a title sans d-bag. Ok, I asked for it .
guzziguy Posted June 6, 2009 Report Posted June 6, 2009 Well, I wouldn't quite say I... Ok, I asked for it . Hi Julian. It was great meeting you at CanJam. At HC, you must be careful what you ask for as you are likely to get it. Also, anybody having "Cool" in their moniker will be a target due to another member, who has it.
shaizada Posted June 6, 2009 Report Posted June 6, 2009 I had an absolute frikkin blast meeting all the people I did. I really wished I had gotten a little more time to get to know many of you, but the little time I did get was extremely worthy.

Also, anybody having "Cool" in their moniker will be a target due to another member, who has it. Thanks, Ken. It was really great meeting you as well. I'll be sure to keep that in mind in my future posts . Seeing all those Van Jam pics reminds me of when I used to work at In N Out and all the shenanigans I used to get into. Interestingly enough, one of the guys I used to work with was named Stephen and the reason I'll never forget him is because he once plunged his bare hand into boiling vegetable oil to pull out one of the metal fasteners that held the individual fryers together. When I asked him what the fuck his problem was he responded by telling me that ninjas don't feel pain. Weird guy that Stephen...
Iron_Dreamer Posted June 6, 2009 Report Posted June 6, 2009 I started my day off with a rousing blast of music from ironbut's R2R system! And a trip next door to Frank Cooter's electrostatic madness! While others compared the stock and Modwright Transporters head-to-head Then I moved on to check out the DAC's, first stop Neko Audio! Next, I had to see what the hardworking Dan Lavry had cooked up Finally, a stop at Benchmark to see what was new with Elias I dropped by Head-Direct's table to listen to their new headphones and DAP
spritzer Posted June 6, 2009 Report Posted June 6, 2009 The build quality of that ortho set is stunning for a prototype. Stick some nice leather on that foam and it's all set.
faust3d Posted June 6, 2009 Report Posted June 6, 2009 I hope this head-direct ortho sounds good, for $800 it should. Too bad I could not compare it to my YH-100
guzziguy Posted June 6, 2009 Report Posted June 6, 2009 I was tempted to show the Benchmark table my Benchmark product, which I bought on Peter's recommendation. They probably wouldn't have been amused when I showed them my Benchmark Mini-griptilian knife.
spritzer Posted June 6, 2009 Report Posted June 6, 2009 I hope this head-direct ortho sounds good, for $800 it should. Too bad I could not compare it to my YH-100 As the keeper of the Wiki, me thinks you should get a set to play with. I can't think of a better way to promote a new ortho and get some constructive criticism at the same time. They are probably also in NYC so no shipping hassle...
Iron_Dreamer Posted June 6, 2009 Report Posted June 6, 2009 JP and Aaron announce the first winner grawk is pleased to win! vpivinylspinner takes home the Headroom Mmmmmmm.... headphones!

It sounded pretty transparent, uncolored and fast - reminded me a lot of my Smegma Pro (woodied Gamma Pro). The mids were the best part, but it didn't seem rolled off in the highs, and the bass was adequate as well.
guzziguy Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 Awesome pics as always Peter. Beautiful. Except the one of me, of course. I just don't know why they all come out like that.
HeadphoneAddict Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 Nice photos! For all of those peeps who don't believe Blutarsky exists, that is Bluto himself in the photo with myself and my son:
HeadphoneAddict Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 Here is what Bluto and I were doing today:
Iron_Dreamer Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 JP wasted no time in taking charge of dinner Burgers for everyone! The burgers disappeared quickly, tasty! Then came the cheeeeeese! JP and nightwoundstime kick it off... ...while Uncle Erik keeps Boomana busy Matt goes back for more... as does JP Pick your poison The group continued to grow and ruminate... ...as SiBurning fired away Fun stories kept everyone transfixed And Joanne pulled no punches this night Some calmly plotted future activities... ...while others could not sit still And 909 let off some steam We continued on into the night... ...but eventually wound up back at the hotel
clarke68 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 o/t photo geek question...what's the camera here? Great grain structure, which isn't something you see a lot in this digital era.
shaizada Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 ^ Wow, thats a fantastic picture. One of my favorites so far just because of its purity and beauty. A small glimpse at the spirit of head-case.
Iron_Dreamer Posted June 7, 2009 Report Posted June 7, 2009 o/t photo geek question...what's the camera here? Great grain structure, which isn't something you see a lot in this digital era. That comes from the Nikon D200, oft poo-pooed by many for its' supposedly "noisy" sensor. The dinner pics were all at ISO3200, in-camera JPEG (NR low), just downsized and slightly sharpened. I also like the grain structure of this camera, and prefer it to the less noisy, but watery/plasticy high ISO output of some supposedly "more advanced" cameras.
