Hey guys! I've been in contact (spending a lot of money) with Ken at the Needle Doctor in St.Louis Park Mn and he is open to letting us use his shop for a meet. Please feel free to post if you can come (I need some sort of head count) I would also like to maybe start posting what gear you are bringing.
I am bringing...
 
Grado PS500
Rs1-80 (mutant mod creation)
Sr225i (again another creation)
Audio Technica AD900x
Beyer DT990
 
O2 amp
ODAC
E17
 
and if I really have to I can bring along the Magni and Modi... (the wife uses them a lot... would have to pry them away from her cold dead hands lol)

I will bring my JH3A setup and maybe a pair of Audeze headphones.  I need to find the right setup for these headphones first..

I'm very interested to hear the ad2000's

the ad2000 are my go to cans.  i'll bring a 120R impedance dongle for the K701 for anyone who wants to hear how increasing amplifier output impedance can affect the freq response of headphones.

^^Having never been to one of these, is bringing a table expected?  I don't have a table, so knowing this ahead of time would be helpful.

I got a small card table you can share with me I'm only bringing my laptop, a few small amps and dacs and 5 cans(I have a storage chest to keep thing organized and out of the way), if that won't work space wise I'm sure someone will share space with you.

Note: I will be coming by bus (keeping my thousands of dollars worth of audio equipment safely concealed) and would appreciate not having to bring a table.

I'd really like to compare these to the AD900x that I currently love to death! (my PS500 is the only can I own that I like better)
