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.
NEW Date: To be Determined

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

I'd really like to, I haven't been to one in a while. I don't know why but headfi meets are ALWAYS in April. And so are all the national jazz competitions and International Baccalaureate Exams. If I can come Ill bring everything I got, including a pair of small Qualias if anyone would like to try those.
Edit: Dave your profile looks like you picked up a pair. Congrats!
