I had a awesome time! It was great to hear all the different systems and certainly made me long for some better speakers (and more space)
Thanks for everyone who helped organize and everyone who lugged their rather large systems for us to drool over!
I'm sad I missed that dac comparison.
I gotta say the most surprising highlight of the meetup for me was Pavlos's (sorry if I butchered that spelling) Nakamichi tape deck. I didn't know cassettes could sound that good - you could have easily fooled me into believing it was a CD or digital source!

Where was the pot in relation to the head amp? Before, after or somewhere in the middle?

He's responding to my question about the preamp wiring
Now that makes sense!
Mark, Thanks for the music samples
May not be everyone's cup of tea, but I had enough requests for copies.
This makes it pretty easy.
