2008 International Head-Fi Meet Forum (Can Jam '08)2008 International Meet Planning Forum, Moderated by tyrion, boomana, jp11801, NightWoundsTime, agile_one, Guss2, Wmcmanus, Voltron, and flecom.
Wherever the next meet may be, the first priority needs to be a location that's easy for a lot of members to get to and bring/ship their gear. Regardless of vendors, it's still the member rigs and member attendance that make it a meet rather than just a trade show. Then you've got to have a team of locals willing to work at planning for months, which means a team that likes each other a lot, is flexible, supportive, even when things go wrong, and pretty responsible. Without those two, it's really hard to have a large scale meet.
I'd like to see one in the Detroit, Chicago area only because of location, but DC certainly has a great location and members that can pull this off.
I'd like to see a meet overseas, but I agree with others that have posted saying first pull off a large-scale meet with vendor attendance. I like jp11801's idea about holding meets at the same time.
Member of the Trade: Rudistor Sound Systems US/Canada Proved that despite its huge size, the CD3000 can be shoved down one's throat.
It will be good in somewhere central US...
As per international and going abroad pretty much all have said with the difference that I do not agree on the traveling issue, manufatirers have crossed the US many times, Tyll come all the way from Montana, and honestly if you are going to travel it doesn't matter where, the hassle, bags, hotel booking, etc....is the same, and t obe on a plain, to anyplace in the world, is IMO a hassle for itself, it doesn't matter for how long. Costwise? Well all depends on where, when and how...
Now it is true that we have not seen any outside US meeting to be so populated and to travel so far, just for the fun of that, could be a problem for us, also the majority of the members are located in US...

Neutrality, accuracy? OK, just ask yourself first: Do you know for sure how the recording is supposed to sound? So for me euphony is all about!!! Please do yourself a favor, stop listening your gear, and begin to feel the music instead!!!
