    I've got to change my RSVP... I've got a conflict and won't be able to make it.

    Absolutely. I was really looking forward to meeting up with the folks in the area. Meets are something that I REALLY miss about not living in the Bay Area.... from the mega HF and Chang Star meets, to just going and hanging with CEE TEE and a few other locals for a coffee and some audio chat. It's how I met some of my best friends in this hobby.

    I'll be bringing my stock 6XX and KISS-modded 650 that I'm borrowing from @spwath if anyone wants to A/B the two.

    @TeaWrex If you had been there I would have told you that I was wearing this shirt just for you (and for America):

    Now I'm even more disappointed I got stuck working. I'm confident we could have had a civilized discussion regarding hot beverages (or it could have devolved into two monkeys flinging feces, either one would have been fun). Other than your poor choice in attire, how was the mini-meet?

    It was fun. @Erroneous has some great gear and a wonderful music selection (which he added to with a stack from my big bucket of CD's that I'm giving away). The highlight for besides gorging on music recordings talk was Tidal and CD's to Yggdrasil > EC Black Widow > both HD800 and my own HD6XX. Also enjoyed some nice vinyl recordings. Honestly I could sit in there alone for days just listening to his vinyl collection through both his Magnepans and/or headphones.

    Thanks again to @Erroneous for hosting!

    It was great talking about and listening to music with both @DigMe and @pandather for the afternoon. We'll have to do these mini-meets more often. It's fun to gab with like-minded people while listening to some sweet sweet tunes, and it's definitely fun to share in your hobby with people who "get" it.

    @jexby I sadly did not bestow the Bardo upon them. I even had my hands on my copy of Acid Guru Pond at one point in the day. I'll make it happen at the next meet. Let us know next time you're in Texas and we'll make it a point to schedule something then, as well.

    Thanks for the fun times!

    Also @DigMe thank you very much for the discs! I just finished having that Mingus at Antibes set melt my face off and I'm about to figure out which one's next. You rock!

    Sorry for the late reply. Thanks @DigMe for the CD's! I'm loving them, I especially liked the Sprawl one. I can only get into the Sausage one when I'm in the car lol. Anyways, I ended up getting an HD800 off the classifieds, and just had the Superdupont resonator sent to me. @Erroneous, I remember you being interested in AB'ing the modded HD800 and your stock one, so if you haven't modded yours yet we could do that. I'll be moving to Austin on the 25th, so any time after that should be fine if the bus system goes out there. (I'm not taking a car) I'll make sure to bring the RPi streamer next time, and idk if you got Gen 5 or the Eitr, but I'm interested in comparing against those.

    @pandather No gen 5 yet, but would love to A/B the modded vs stock 800 before cracking mine open. The bus does run here, pretty close to the house. I'd like to check out that streamer too. Sounds like a plan!
