Danny,

do you think we can get this amp for demo? Good review from Skylab. It will be release in January 2009, I guess they don't want to miss this great promotion opportunity:

I sent Rockhopper an email. He is an amp builder who was in MD but is in Chapel Hill, NC now. Would love to hear his SS amps with my HD650.

There's a chance I can make it, but it's looking slim right now. Perhaps I can send some gear.

I'll check into it to see if we might be able to get a demo unit.
Thanks for the heads up on this.

Anyone bringing a Wadia iTransport?

Does anyone have one of the newer iPods they can be bring to dock with an iTransport? Ideally it would be newer than G5 to have full navigation capabilities.

I plan to contact Wadia to see if they have a demo unit or two they will loan for the meet.

Feel free to PM to work out details. Kent

OK, I will DEFINITELY be bringing both my Monica 2 and Monica 3 DACs for people to try out.

Also, I mentioned the meet to Yeo from diyparadise.com, and he has offered to send me over with a USB Monica as well, which would be available for purchase (buy through his website, and I'll hand you the DAC). I will have network access to facilitate this.

Default Ask, and you shall receive

I contacted Mr. Joseph Lau at Audiotailor and he has graciously volunteered to send a Jfet + Mosfet (Pisces) and a Jade. So, you will have these goodies at the meet to check out and have some fun with.
A big thank you to Joseph.

Danny, Todd the Vinyl Junkie has a Luxman P-1 circulating the member base on a loaner program. It is one of the best dynamic sounding amps out there.
We had it on tap for the Tampa Meet and I currently have it and brought it to the NY Local Regional Fall meet. Nobody has had anything bad to say about it thus far.
It is truly a class act.
I just pulled the trigger on a new one for myself.
Maybe, you can contact Todd and see if you can get the timing right so it can make an appearance at this meet.

If you'd like, I can ask him for you.
If I'm able to attend, I can bring mine with me.
