Everyone craves photos after a meet. How about a few prior to this week’s big event?

Ken from ALO sent me a case full of grownup toys. Needless to say, its been difficult shutting down at night to go to bed !

Goodies include ALO cabled Grado GS1000s, AKG K702s and Ultrasone HFI 780s.

Currently I’m listening to the 780 plugged directly to my 5G iPod running lossless. Nice detail, but ya gotta be into bass to fully appreciate these.

I’ve got a number of hours on the K702s directly from my RWA Isabella tube linestage with internal NOS DAC. These wonderful phones are going to give Danny’s AKG K1000s a good run for the money. And since Danny’s Ks will be at my station, equipped with Moon Black Dragon hardwire driven by my RWA 30.2 / Isabella rig, so you can be the judge!

I’ve only got a few songs on the GS1000s so far. But they are next in line for some extended listening.

Vinnie and Ken promise to have their new dedicated Headamp at my doorstep before the week is over. Vinnnie wants me to loan it to other listening stations, if you want to give it a good listen (it will not be burned in, but based on past experience, Vinnie’s gear sounds very good fresh from the factory).

Looking forward to the big day!
