Pabbi1,
Would you like me to bring an Arcam Alpha 9?

To wit, I need a _modest_ CDP/DVD to hook up to the SOHA II, or it will have to share with the balanced Millett/OPUS... decisions, decisions. It also means that Alex's cable will get a few hours less burn... always something.

Be there at @9 tomorrow - while I thought I was staying in Sugarland, it is more like Sharpstown, so we'll see if the car, much less the equiptment, makes the night.
How early can we get there anyways?

Doing a BH/KGSS/He shootout right now

Now that's a silly question ...

I meant to imply that that is one sweet CDP and said poster would most likely wet him/herself at the chance to replace their destroyed one with it.



And not so much that *you* were silly for the asking ...

Best.

See you the morrow!

Doors open at 10AM... if you get there any earlier, you will have to work.


Maybe I should just swing by Fry's and buy a few CD players...

Current Head-Fi threat level is orange. Intelligence indicates a high risk of money being spent, but a specific target has not yet been identified.

I'll be there by 9am ... depending on my hangover.

I can't stop listening.

But I *do* have a bunch of stuff to set up (my computer weighs about 50 lbs) ...

So ... see you in the red-eye.

You can't get in at 9:00 AM. I won't have possession of the key at that point. I have to go pick up the key and then go through a walkthrough. I will be there before 10:00 but not by 9:00.

I'm not too worried - your hangover should be a doozy.

That's some good information. Thanks.

Sort of like Ron White knowing how many bouncers were going to be used to kick him out of a bar in NYC:

I don't know how many they are going to use... but I know how many it would take.

As usual, I left behind a Sony dvd - anyone find an extra? Not sure if it is worth shipping (which I will cover, of course), but I still have the remote... ;-)

It was great meeting everyone, even if it always seems Marc and I just talk design, and ongoing _future_ projects. Headphone meets need more than one day... <sigh>

Thanks, everyone - it was a blast - but, next time, let's do The Woodlands, eh?
