I made the trek down to Charlotte Saturday and spent a number of hours wandering around a bit too small room...packed with lots of nice equipment and a pretty good crowd.
Obviously, the highlight of the day and (for me) a once in a lifetime opportunity to see and hear the amazing Joe Grado...live and in color
! He's a great guy and still has a very fertile imagination...read that as having come out with an amazing new microphone...which stands to (potentially) revolutionize the recording industry...should they be bright enough to adopt the technology.
No question...it was an ear-opening experience!!! There are some amazing sound headphone amps out there...some reasonably priced...some rather high priced, but still sounding fabulous.
I will try to get some pics added, as the evening progresses...provided I can remember how
.
Ray Samuel's Predator DAC's...amazing sounding and 'match-box' size
Ray Samuel's Raptor headphone amp
Ray Samuel's Apache headphone amp...and preamp too (I think)
Ray Samuel's B-52 headphone amp/preamp
Woo Audio headphone amp...I forget the model #
Woo Audio WA 2
Head-Direct EF1
The MAN of the hour...Joe Grado
Joe tweaking his 'stack'...before his presentation. If you look closely just above Joe's head you can glimpse his new microphone...which can do amazing things
