I'm probably just bringing headphones and a portable; packing light since I get in late Friday and have to ship out early Sunday. If, for whatever reason, someone needs a mid-fi multi-format player (Marantz, SACD, DVD-A and HDCD capable), I would be willing to bring it. Other than that, just a sampling of my better CDs and possibly some vinyl:

Grado RS-1 (with bowls and flats)
Audio-Technica ESW9
Sennheiser HD25
Sony NWZ A816

[EDIT] I'll be bringing a light photo set up as well. Canon 30D, tripod, etc.

K1000 Rig
  • K1000 with Equinox recable by thrice
  • Accuphase DP-77 SACD
  • Accuphase A-20 Class A amp
  • SPL Balanced Volume Control

Amps
  • RSA HR2
  • EarMax Pro Anniversary Edition
  • Rudistor RP 7.1
  • Yamamoto HA-02
  • Grado HPA-2
  • Stax 007Tii

Headphones
  • Senn HD650 with Equinox
  • Sony SA5000
  • AT W2002
  • AT D1000 Digital
  • Grado SR60
  • Shure SE530
  • Stax Omega II mk2

Also some photo gear, and various bits of wire and chewing gum to connect it all together.
