I might possibly bring a class-d power amp for speakers, but not unless somebody is going to bring any speakers.. mine are too big to fly! Is someone going to have some speakers there?

Aren't more people on the attendee list bringing equipment? It'd be nice if more people could post what they'll have if they're bringing anything, as I'm trying to decide whether or not to bring my entire haul (which is, I'll just say, substantially more than what's in my profile).

bring your entire haul, no one else is bringing anything , that's the theory I'm working based on. I just hope my lawyer in florida doesn't turn out to be a crook

A couple vendors who have separates rooms from the main meet room will have speakers, but they'll be showcasing their own gear.

Definitely bring what you've not yet seen listed if you can. You can ship it to us in advance. Grawk's lawyer can help with an address. I personally plan on swiping your AD2000s for a little bit, if you'll let me, to hear in my own system.

Vicki should check her PM's since she hasn't even seen some of the gear she'll be bringing!

Just did! . HD650 cable shootout at my table! Equinox vs. RnB Grace 5-2 vs. the very exclusive N.M. Crimson (okay, not it's name, but mine mine mine!) Thanks, Nate!

You'll need 4 pin versions of those cables too, since there will be a nice balanced amp at that table too.

Nah, the Menace is single ended. You'll understand why when you see it (crosses fingers that it'll be done in time...)

I think sir Dan was referring to his amp, which ironically enough is using that cable as I type!

Hmmm...I'll have a N.M. Cardas (Monkey-fied--i.e., balanced) cable to add to the mix.

Bring it on. So far my baby's more than held it's redbook own against an Esoteric DV50, SA10 and Opus 21 in head-to-head matches (not as good as the Esoterics for sacd) and squashed my other cdp, which is damn good in it's own right.

Ok I'll bring everything I've got! It's time to unleash a couple secrets I've been hiding for a while anyway - might as well announce them now to help spark interest. All my headphones are now listed in post #2! (Well not really everything I own, just the higher-end ones.)

Just took a peek. Congrats on the HP-2s. When did you get those?
