Default Spring VA, DC, MD Macro Meet @ 5/17/2008

*NOTE: First of all, I like to apologize for not communicating with fellow head-fi members regarding the meet. I have been stuck in Manila for extended time trying to wrap-up my business here so I will not have to return (ever) again. In that effort, it consumed all of my time plus had no other interest than getting home ASAP. I will be returning home on my flight 10 hours from now...and landing in VA in 34 hours from now, on 5/15. If any of you are still interested in the meeting...I would love to host it after I recover from this extended trip. I will check this post regularly when I return home on 5/15 and try to setup the meeting. Again...my deepest apology for "dropping the ball".

It's time for VA, DC, MD annual micro meet that's fast becoming a macro meet at my home.

Anyone in the DC metro area is welcome to attend. Please PM me with gears you will bring.

Bring it so we can compare it with my other T-amp collection. I had that amp before until I fried the board feeding too much voltage
