I'm the dude in the black shirt with orange design on the back in the fashionable wood Alessandro MS-Pro's. You can almost make out the stains on my jeans in the picture. There is my hand. Did a little side-by-side comparison with the RSA raptor and my woo. It was a great time :-). The Zana Deux headphone amp was nothing short of amazing with HD 600's. The large tubes it uses were the same type used in MIG fighters! Awesome. Listening to the Sony R10's ($4000 cans) was incredible. Super refined and smooth, really an amazing sound. Wish I could have listened to them more.

Looks like fun. Lots of headphone porn going on in that room. If there ever is a Central Illinois Axiom meet, you can absolutely count me in. Are there enough of us around the midwest to actually make it worthwhile? And if it's near Springfield, IL, I know many places that serve a good beer. And horseshoes.

Ditto! Mark, your services are required. Maybe you could strike a deal with them where they throw a party for you and all your Axiom friends in exchange for more beautiful, enticing photographs of their wares...

That photo doesn't make it look too appetizing! No it doesn't... Like leprechauns, horseshoes are hard to photograph. Asking the great google, and trying to find a decent photo, I find... A hamburger Horseshoe (the most popular). There's a second beef patty on the left side that you can't see. A ham Horseshoe (the original). And many places will make a Breaded Tenderloin horseshoe, which consists of the breaded pork tenderloin that this guy is eating , but on a plate with cheese & fries. Serious appetites only. The secret is all in the cheese sauce. Crappy places basically just use Cheez-wiz, which is an insult to the Horseshoe. Good places (the places I would take my Axiom buddies) use something more akin to welsh rarebit. Here's a happy Horseshoe customer, doing it the proper way with a good beer in one hand and a Horseshoe in the other.

Not to derail this derailed train, but I'm curious which headphone amp and which cans were the "winner"?
