Aaron, I'll probably join you guys tonight with Ray, but I'm still working through my 'To-Do' list. Will call you a bit later.
Does anyone who is going tomorrow have an extra pair of small UE eartips that they can sell me? I lost my last pair on a recent trip, and really need to use my Triple.fis for audition purposes at the meet.
Anyone?

I hope someone can bring a 1/4 to mini(1/8) adaptor.
Would love to hear some phones on my portable setup
Its a pretty nice portable(although damn expensive)setup,
5.5g Imod/w alo custom Jumbo Cryo Au/Ag(silver coated with gold) (about 200 Hours) The cable is a special order from alo audio, it has the regular blackgate caps in the actual dock.
iQube portable amp(about 200 hours also)
My UE-11s,
but i need a full size can. It sucks that i cant share the UE-11s.
Anyone want to listen if they have an iem or adaptor for a full size is welcome.

I (pico/srm-1 pp C/stax signature/dt880) might not be able to make it because of work.  If somebody could be so kind to take a close up pic of the front and back of the Smyth box I'd really appreciate it! 
edit: Also, if somebody could find out what speakers they use for the Smyth demo, that'd be great too. Thanks.

Looking forward to meeting everyone. I'm heading into my garage to dig out some cable for the DIY table. See you soon.

CURSES!
well, I missed it - by the time I rolled past LAX it was about 5pm. and then I had to pick up two people there and show them around LA... what can I say, I had my iMod and LOD and Tomahawk and Pico (and my clean ears ready to be stopped up by something other than my trusty ER4P.S) all ready, but it wasn't to be... delay after delay, a perfect storm of obligations that I couldn't shirk: so, here I am, mad as hell... hope all who attended had a madly wonderful time!
