postjack Posted November 23, 2009 Report Posted November 23, 2009 There was only three people, two beers, and one system, but I'd say the 5th Annual International Postjack Plus Friend Ohio Mini Meet (codename: Raging With Reks) was a complete success. Jacob's speaker rig is truly awesome. Pretty much does everything I'd want a system to do. Tonally my absolute favorite part was the highs. I love it when the highs are perfect, and they were. The soundstage had really awesome depth, and the imaging was great. We went from small scale classical to large scale classical to a bunch of jazz to Rush to that weird guy from Soft Machine doing weird spoken word free form jazz. Although I spent a bit of time telling Jacob to buy a turntable, after my buddy and I left and the experience began to sink in, I started asking myself why I mess around with vinyl when digital sound like the Capitole is out there. So that should tell you how much I truly enjoyed it, as I've never suffered from "vinyl doubt" until this past weekend. Reks was a gracious host, and tons of cool tunes were played and absorbed. The only regret was we didn't have more time to hang. My friend who I brought along has a running knowledge of general consumer audio, but very little exposure to the audiophile religion, would not stop talking about the rig the whole night and the whole way home. He's starting to ask me about prices, and DACs, and all those wonderful things. We'll see where it takes him. thanks again Jacob!
Aura Posted November 23, 2009 Report Posted November 23, 2009 Good shit posty and reks, glad you guys were able to hang . This is ahead of time, but sorry about your friend's sanity (or lack thereof).
GPH Posted November 23, 2009 Report Posted November 23, 2009 I like the meet title. Thanks for the impressions!
Voltron Posted November 23, 2009 Report Posted November 23, 2009 How did the system sound from the basement?
postjack Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Posted November 23, 2009 it was a fun time, too bad it had to be called short due to Phish thats what she said!
deepak Posted November 23, 2009 Report Posted November 23, 2009 Did you have soup afterwards? No wait that's supposed to be before
Absorbine_Sr Posted November 24, 2009 Report Posted November 24, 2009 I can atest to the fact that Reksy meets are the best meets. Period.
postjack Posted November 24, 2009 Author Report Posted November 24, 2009 after we left I knew I should have taken a pic, but I didn't think about it when I was there. Here's a pic of me later that same day:
grawk Posted November 24, 2009 Report Posted November 24, 2009 Wow, the stench is apparent even photographically
