    Oh back on the topic of WiFi, I intend to keep it mainly for those at a table who have a source. I'm assuming everyone else will have their own DAP or phone source if they don't have a table with gear. If for some reason you do need WiFi and don't have a table, we will give you the password. But I really want to limit it so we don't kill the internet and then no one gets to enjoy the gear.

    Wish I could be there. Looked up flights but wifey is heading out to Michigan in light of her stepmom’s situation (fungal infection in brain + bone cancer).

    Post many photos please.

    I have 2 new Soranik iems called the iON Pro that they sent me for loaners. I don't know much about them, but Soranik would love it if someone would show them off at the meet. I can't because I have my own iems to showcase. But if someone wants them at their table, just send me a pm. Cheers

    S2kphile is the IEM guy in the discord if you want to hit him up. I bet he’d like to hear them for himself as well. Though he’s in Sac and driving in. So I don’t think he can pick them up. You may need to send them with Josh.

    Best of luck.

    Also we intend to make this a fairly regular thing if we can.

    Oh, cool. Yeah, you can leave them at my table. I have all of the gears needed for people to test them including a tube DAP.

    Hey all, we had a pair of HD600’s go missing. If anyone see them, knows anything or accidentally grabbed them, please DM me. Thanks

    Focal owners ... Just do it.

    JAR 600 >> HD600

    Some of @uniqusrname 's handiwork.

    I think I'm a Chord fanboy. Vincent's simple setup here sounded great.

    LTA had a big sound.

    Fun times! Thanks to everyone who made the event a reality. I need to meet more of the Bay Area crew the next time around!

    Yeah—bumping this for same purpose, we got a lot out of the Corpus meet, the Schiit Audio Show, but I had to search this thread out from the grave bc I realized it's mid-Feb already and I didn't remember impressions from this meet at all. Looking at it now, it seems like @bazelio is the only one that posted for us who couldn't make it. Anyone else have pics or impressions of gear from this meet?

    My guess is there was some sort of internet blackout, and @bazelio didn't give a f**k.

    I loved both @uniqusrname amps
    I could live with the Saphire but would love the get*set*go
    Saphire takes a lot of labor to match all the parts.
    Hope more people jump on that build to help with the parts cost

    The get set go was electric to me, it had a lot of the sonic traits that I prefer over other SET style amps.
    I belive it was a 6a3 amp not to be confused with 2a3

    Yes, the tubes are 6B4G which is an octal version of 6A3. Driver tube is 6SL7.

    There were a lot of impressions on the discord. I think they all kind of live there unfortunately. Not sure how to port any of that elsewhere. I could go search for mine and bring them over.
