I'm available any time march/april

Probably be me and a guest

I can bring a schiit mjolnir, schiit gungnir(if the statement dac is out by then I will aim to bring that), Stax sr007 mk1, sold the srm-323s I've been using with it yesterday but there is a badass ?mystery¿ amp that I'm going to audition, if everything works out I will add it to the list on the 28th

Also if there is interest I can bring an objective 2 amp and a project ember amp that will surely be done by then

Definitely interested.  I'm still a newbie to this forum so hopefully the decided date and time comes soon.  I'm a college senior and my schedule is quite tight, but I happen to have Friday's free!  I have a pair of Logitech UE6000s, custom ATH-M50s(with detachable cable), Superlux 668b, Koss DJpro100s TB edition. I'll be bringing my laptop and 7th Gen 120GB Ipod Classic if I'm actually good to go.   I'm excited that the location is in Charlotte, NC since I'm only around an hour away!  Hope to see you guys there!

I will plan to be there and will bring my Moth 2A3 amp with RCA monoplates along with my Woo Wee to feed my Jade electrostatics. A Cary 306SACD will be the source. I may also bring my Grado HP1i.

Count me in as well. DailydoseofDaly, I wouldn't mind trying out the Project Ember :) I've been considering building one myself.
 
I will bring my Bottlehead Crack + Speedball with Senn HD 700 and HD 650. I'll also bring the HE-400 in case people would like to try it on their setup (I find that it's not the best match on the Crack, IMO).

Laptop
Schiit Modi
Fiio E09k + E7
Beyer DT990 pro 250ohm
Philips Fidelio L1
Senn HD 25-1 II

First post updated.  Some of the Charlotte area meet veterans will be scouting out a location after the holidays.  It will likely be just north of Charlotte along the I-77 for easier access for anyone coming from the North. Looking forward to seeing everyone there who can make it.  First time meets are always lots of fun.

It would be a long drive for me, but I might have to come to hear the K1000s
