I'm in, no plans to bring any guests at the moment.

I'm not entirely sure of what gear I am bringing yet because I'm in the process of revamping my source configuration, but these are for certain:

see gear list

I plan on going.

I'll edit this post with more details later.

Also, I have yet to buy a new wall-wart for my amp. If anyone remembered, it died during the last meet. (well I only told like 2 people..) So I may end up just brining some headphones.
(Got new wall-wart- and now I am happy. It is like rediscovering music all over again).

Update: ok I'll being the following.
Grado SR80 (woody)
Millett MAX
plus my PC

I hope you get you better room rates than the "Best Available" which came in at $250 per night.

http://www.hiskokie.com/reservations.php

Count me in!

Headphones:
- k400 (dual entry cable)
- Ultrasone Proline 2500 (w/ new cable)
- AT-701 (same as before)
- FreQShow (if it fits - go ahead and try - also as example)

Sources:
- Marantz CD5001
- Zhaolu 2.5 (modded)
- iPod Touch

Amps:
- Active Ground Millet Min w/PS (hopefully finished by then)
- Pico (amp only)

I can also bring my Sonic Impact Gen 2 Amp if anyone needs it for a set of electrostats. Just let me know.

I'll put down as a tentative yes, maybe plus one. (+)

Headphones:
Senn HD580s (lightly modded)

Source:

Amp:
Singlepower MPX3 SLAM

I'll come out. I'll see if anyone else in Colorado may want to do this with me.

I need a place to stay. (I'm a 22 year old male and I don't want to touch your stuff or eat your food, promise!) or someone to split a hotel room with. Picking me up from the train station or airport would also be great? Will give you some $ as compensation. I'll feed myself, too.

I'll be bringing -

5.5g 80gb iMod
Capacitor dock w/ 2x 3.3uF OIMP V-caps & 2x .22uF TFTF V-caps made by StevenKelby
iQube
Ultrasone Edition 9s w/ APS V3 recable

I'll post to notify if any of that changes, though I don't expect it to

I'm excited to hear another wave of new gear as well as meeting some people I know and some people I don't know - putting faces to all of them

I do remember talking to Billy and him mentioning that the rate for rooms was somewhere around $119, I am not completely positive but I am almost for sure that it is nowhere near $250. There is no way Billy would let someone pay that much for a hotel room IMO. I know a big part of his delay and issue was locking in a room rate, and when I speak with him tomorrow I will make sure he clarifies the room rate he was able to lock in (if any)

Ryan, thanks for the update. I hope the rates do come in more at the $119 level. You can put me down but I haven't determined what I will bring yet.

I can figure on myself and probably one guest. I'll be bringing my old standards:

Zana Deux
Resolution Audio Opus 21 CDP
RS-1
MS2i
HD600
K701 (Billy - I still have them if you want them. But feel free to tell me to take a hike for stringing you on for so long!)

That should do it.
A_Sr.

I'm totally in. It will be great to meet you guys again. hoping to see some familiar faces and Hoping to have some full sized cans before the meet. I'll update with that.

Hi Gang.
Todd R (+ 1)

Gear will be:
Marantz SA11S1 CD/SACD player
Bottlehead SEX amp with Magnequest iron, C4S, Stepped attenuator, Auricaps (and whatever else I can think to do to it between now & then)
HD-650 W/ Cardas Cable
RS-2

I will be there, most likely just me. I will be coming right after the NU - OSU game ends Gear is undetermined at this point, but will certainly include the Kenwood KH1000, Audio Technica ESW9, Denon D5000, and the Ming Da MC 84-C tube amp.
