OK, I've been getting PM's, Email's, IM's about the next meet in the Puget Sound (Seattle, Bellevue Area). Who is game? I will put one together, I thought I had till the end of August to get one planned out? As I mentioned to another Head-fier " They have wakened the dragon ".

When would this take place? I'd like to go...but do you have to bring your gear? I don't have much as i've just gotten addicted (lol) in the past couple months. Is it ok to just come and see all the stuff?
We are working on a date. You can bring gear if you like or not just come and have a good time. It should be finalized here shortly. This is why we put the IC out first.
Alright . One question though, whats "IC"? The whole time i've been here i have wondered what it means lol. At first i thought interconnect, but then it didn't make sense with a lot of things.
I'm there, but Bellevue Library is too close to home. I wanna go somewhere. Seriously, the library is o.k., but where? Would they let us use that lecture/class room? That's the only room there I can picture a bunch of headfiers having a meeting in.
I also have a pair of K1000s, but currently have nothing decent to drive them with. I'll bring them anyway. They still sound decent connected to the balanced outs of the DA10.
Being in Magnolia, I'd prefer to have the meet in Seattle, but the last one was there, so I guess it's only fair...
Sound Around The Sound-NEW DATE!!!!!!! BACK ON!!!
