Please PM me to confirm your attendance. This way I can separate those that say they might be coming in this thread from those that are already confirmed.

Does anyone have an 0404 or similarly priced DAC we can compare against my Keces?
Might be an interesting comparison.

I do, but I'm unsure if I can make it to this one......though I would love to. I've been to Skylab's place to pick up a a sub x-over a few years ago, and he really has a great room in a beautiful home!

That's cool. 
Maybe I will see you at one of the other ones further down the road.

I would like to say I'm tentative, I may have to travel for work (as is usually the case...)
If I can go, I will bring my CKKIII and my Millett Max, my DT-770s, and possible another set of headphones or iems (either HD-600s, 650s, or er4p... loved them at the last meet) if I buy them between now and then. I can bring my PS1 if anyone wants to hear it and an SVDAC04-U and if we need a source for that dac, I will bring my laptop. I had that dac at the last meet, but didn't have a source to connect to it, so if anyone has anything they would like to pair it wth, I would be glad to bring it... Also, if I haven't sold/traded my Pimeta, I will bring that too.

If I can make it, I will bring my E-MU 0404. This just gives me more of a reason to get my butt back home that weekend  .
Sejarzo - you'll be missed, hopefully I'll see you at a meet sometime soon  .

That wouldn't be a Grado PS1, would it? 
Or is it your PS1 CD player?

I will give you a hint: I didn't like grados until I heard them at the last meet, now I like only marginally more...
(It's my playstation 1...)

I pulled some strings with my parents, but I will be there.
xnothingpoetic - I'll bring my E-MU 0404 along with my Heartland RCA's, adapters, etc (RCA's were purchased from Rob/Skylab coincidentally).
intoflatlines - If you can make it, I'll gladly let you a/b with my Wenge SR225's.
Can't wait guys  .

Hey, I am at Xavier in Cincinnati. I love Chicago and would be willing to take the bus up that way. I just need to know if a chicago native could pick me up from the station and take me back afterwards.
I'd also be willing to chip in a few bucks!
Thanks!
Edit - I can bring the W5000 and should have the Denon D5000 by then.

Well, I am working on a purchase of HD-600s so I will be bringing those also, if all goes well. Should pair nicely with the Millett I will start building when I get back home tomorrow. Still might get some er4p's, if anyone wants to trade for a Pimeta.
