Hi Doug,

We feel your pain.  Somewhat.

Perhaps they are showcasing their Dacs or some other digital gears?!?

I have to admit that I had fun hanging out with my two-best buddies...JBTrio and Topround.   I am sure everyone would agree that music and good spirits brings everyone together as a common ground.  Special thanks to Pete (Triodewire) playing great tunes and for the cryoed beer!

Hey @Nick, I only took a few with my iPhone the rest were mental pictures.

Hello @Emil, life may get in the way, but music will always be my passion. I leave this iPod running all day for my cat and for background music.  ;-)

You never know, Phil Lam may invite everyone for a revival.

Thank you for the link.   :thumb:

How about $1,000,000.00 for the VAC setup ?   That's right, I would be expecting "golden" sound.   :rofl:

I see the problem already. They didnt use cable elevators. They're just laying on the carpet for Christ's sake

Well said Emil.   :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

They have some headphone rooms at the show but those in-ear monitor were hard to audition.  The best and most expensive once had to be molded to your ears.  However, I really liked my Westone W60 in-ear monitor, a 6-balanced armature drivers with 3-way crossover.  It retails for approximately $1,000 +/-. 

Loved the dynamic full-range sound connected to an iPhone 6 plus.  They are Perfect for the subway commute and not so great for cycling or driving.  Once installed deep in my ear canal, the whole world just gotten much better in my opinion.  Instantly!
