  I am bringing mine to try the Woo GES and WES. With the HE1000 being released this year I don't know if I want to go all the way to a top tier amp. If I do then I will log of the RSA A-10.

I would like to get a listen to the WOO WES with the upgraded tubes as the stock ones left me not liking it as much as the other amps.

The A-10 is nice, but to my ears, the couple of times I have been able to compare I have preferred the BHSE.
 
The Cavalli LL2 SS and T I heard last year at RMAF were also very nice. I am tempted to pick up the SS version.

The A-10 I have listened several times has upgraded tubes and to me it sounds great might be the Mullard CV4004 in it. I have the chance to compare it to the LL Hybrid side by side and even that LL Hybrid was very nice the A-10 with those tubes sounded better. Have listened to the BHSE couple of times maybe the tubes were not the right ones but it left me wanting more body and bass.
Let's get together next week and talk about them.

I guess I should probably get tickets now.

***IMPORTANT***  When are you arriving?
 
Seems like a ton of us are getting in early in the week, so we should start coordinating and getting our social on!  

  In fact, some of you are getting in as early as Monday (you know who you are).
 
We can hang out, enjoy each others' company, have ad hoc mini meets (I have a JH Layla, Audeze EL-8 Open Back, A&K AKT5p, Cozoy Astrapi, and some secret prototypes with me), or just enjoy a world without slush, ice and downed power lines.  Well, everyone except you solitary, we know that ain't yo thang.
 
Given that we're coming from all over the world, and not all staying at the same hotel, this may be a challenge... but I know we can do it.  If you're up for hanging out ahead of time, please PM me with the date/time you expect to be all checked-in and available for exploring SoCal.  Be sure to leave a number as I'll be running around all next week, and phone/txt is the best way to reach me, and for me to reach you in return.
 
*Note:  I may not be around for all of the fun as I'll have some CanJam-related prep work, but I can at least help organize everything!
 
***LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE***  Ultimate Ears Factory Tour
 
Ultimate Ears has graciously offered to open their doors to a select group of us for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at their mothership!  I've done this tour multiple times, and I can assure you that it is both enlightening and fun.
 
The tour is scheduled for Friday, March 27th at 2:00p over at UE's headquarters in Irvine.  There are 20 spots available, of which about 7 have already been filled.  If you want in, please let me know a.s.a.p.  We'll be meeting at the Westin between 1:15p - 1:30p, and departing from there via carpool to reach UE by 2:00p.
 
***SUNDAY MORNING BREAKFAST***  R.S.V.P. for Reservations
 
Ahh, breakfast... the meal of champion show goers!  

 All are welcome, attendees and exhibitors alike!  The hotel's restaurant opens at 8:00a so we'll have to make it a relatively quick breakfast (at least I will) to hit the show floor by 9:00.  Please R.S.V.P. here in the thread no later than 11:59p on Wednesday, the 25th.  I'll make the reservation first thing Thursday morning for Sunday Brunch @ 8:00a.

No, I don't speak real Spanish…but I do listen to Latin Jazz

Well Warrenpchi, as of the moment I am not able to attend anyway, so it's moot. (Besides, I have nothing to contribute even just to discussion so anybody interested in dead wood? Me thinks not).
 
I love factory tours and have never been to a live one. (I watch factory tour videos). I've always wanted to tour a few specific factories. Anyone interested in that sort of thing will have a blast!
 
I'm not holding my breath, but I'm just hoping I will be granted maybe even two hours off work to attend for an hour or so at least by the time I get there. I really don't know if it will happen though so I have sort of resolved that I will be waiting until next year(if there will be a next year).

Yes, by all means, bring your gear and your music!  That way, you can audition whatever it is you are missing or want to upgrade.

Well, they really are quite large--but I'm also quite short, which might accentuate the size of them.

 
I think you're getting mixed-up with something else, Jude

You should bring anything you can... provided it's wearable or pocketable in some way.
 
That way, you can check people's gears (DAC, amps) out, and you may also be able to get a feel for others' headphones in comparison to yours.

I better be part of the 7 on that tour.

 

[AxelCloris]

Will they be allowing photography on the tour?

There are a few and very specific things that you cannot photograph, but for the most part, yes.

Lol, nope... you're not going.  We'll be working at the hotel.
