Hi Everyone,
We're coming back...
The last Metro Detroit Head-Fi Meet in September 2015 in Huntington Woods, Michigan was a tremendous success!
Many friendships were made, equipment purchased, and connections built among this group of perfect strangers. For impressions and pics, see the Impressions thread.
Individuals from all over Michigan from Flint to Lambertville and from Sterling Heights to Holland attended the Troy and Pleasant Ridge Meets. Because of the response that we received from all parts of southern Michigan, we're going back to Ann Arbor!
Not only are we going back to A2, Overture Audio will be hosting the event again. For more on Overture, please visit their website here. This meet will be bigger and better than the last. We will be working with some vendors in an attempt to involve the manufacturing community at the Ann Arbor meet. Look out...there may be speakers there also!
Door Prizes:
Keith, our gracious host and owner of Overture Audio, has worked with his vendors to make available the following gear as door prizes for many lucky attendants of the meet:
(1) ADL 118 - $278 retail
(1) Grado SR-325e - $295 retail
(1) NAD Visio HP50 - $299 retail
(3) HifiMan RE-400 IEMs - $199 retail
(2) Gift certificates from iFi Audio to choose 1 of 3 different iFi products
Thanks to ADL, Grado, NAD, HifiMan and iFi for providing these awesome door prizes for a few of our attendees!
Vendors:
Mike Marko from Nordoost will be present at the meet with a selection of high-quality cables from Nordoost. Be sure to check them out in your rig.

Other Event Notes:
1. zabzaf will contact the pre-registered attendees to get the Name, Address, Email, Contact number the week before the Meet, and will respond with the venue details.
2. At the meet, you would be required to provide a valid photo id when registering at the registration table. Your valid photo ID will be cross checked with the details provided prior to the meet.
3. You should bring an extension cord or power strip if you can (along with other cables necessary for your setup). Don't forget to bring your source as well as amplification.
4. Please be careful and respect other members properties, ask before you pull a phone out of a plug – some amps if they are not powered down before inserting or pulling out a jack have the potential to blow. Again be very careful.
5. Be on the watch out for power cords and headphone cable on the floor and tables, you can easily knock over equipment, or hurt yourself – if this is your first meet be weary the floor will be littered with cable.
6. Please restrict consumption of food or drinks to the designated place ONLY and place all trash in the plastic bags provided. PLEASE also wash your hands if it is dirty before touching anything.
7. No wet hair, or put anything in their hair at all (e.g. wax, gel, mousse etc) (Will be refused entry). Strong aftershave or deodorants are also not good. Also, clean in and around your ears. Nobody wants their cans covered with earwax.
8. No need to panic or spoil the mood (it's unlikely I'll run off with your $10k amp) - but leaving keys, wallets or expensive IEMs unattended might not be a good idea.
9. You must wear the name tag at all times.
Parking:
Although Overture has a good sized parking lot, it's likely to fill up. Abbott Street that borders Overture's parking lot to the south will have some parking available, and there's a Walgreens just across Abbott from the store that should have some spaces available as well.
Finally:
Space will be limited and we anticipate a full meet so register early. To register, please PM zabzaf here.
