You are just jealous...you with your K1000 giraffe kiddy chair stand (oooh...will it grace the K1000 room?...I say, YES, to that!). I'm offering a potential expansion in the interest of all head-fiers.

The Meet Meister is just afraid that the Georges (as in Takei, as in TakeT H2) will take over the room and grab all the headlines. I say make it a smack down.

To me the two (K1000 and TakeT H2) are similar in their amp requirements and sound sigs, so it's natural to put them together. It would make for some very interesting comparisons and conclusions if lots of Head-Fi'ers get to hear them side by side.

Yeah, but with both of those headphones the bleed over from the unclosed cans can make the room sound like a mess and it would be hard to do serious discernable listening tests!

I tell you what, since you guys want to play with your toy headphones from Toys R Us, we will have K1000 room and next to it we can have a playroom. I just hope you guys don't need babysitters.

This coming from a guy that uses a toddler's giraffe chair as a K1000 stand! My headphone stands are at least adult themed.

My giraffe chair headphone stand is going with me to the October meet and the National meet. Your headphone stands could get you arrested in some states.

The way I see it, better the headphone stand be a toy then the headphone.

Sorry to disappoint. My stands are works of art. Nothing XXX about them. Though maybe I'll commission some more risque ones to bring to the meet, if only to see how people react. You can tell a lot about people that way.

Does it have a bathroom and a water fountain with a little step in front of it?

Wait. Mike might be onto something here. If he's giving us our own playroom, within bounds of reason and legal decorum, what would we want in it?

I think other room options that have been explored, but not yet confirmed as anything other than drunken ramblimgs are:

The K1000 room
The ghetto room (nothing over $150)
The high-end room
The portable room

...and now the playroom. Gene and Aaron, the Meet Meister has spoken. We have our own room with optional babysitters. Do you want to play? I'm quite serious.

Oh man, that's dangerous....someone's going to end up crying, someone's going to end up eating Playdoh.

That is far from what I had in mind.

EDIT: I just remembered who I'm dealing with here, and have, therefore, decided to back away from this idea entirely. You guys will surely do damage with it.
