Hey AUSTIN troops, a couple of us will be driving up from Austin on Sunday morning and return in the afternoon, we have extra seats in the Minivan and will take riders, if you want to go respond here.
 
We will be bringing my new CCT3  no-feedback Class-A amplifier with us to shop (see Noisyscott's review of last week , expect to have another review before the meet.

 

[barryt]

I think I got that last post wrong, we don't want to shop the amp, we want to show it.  You can contact me if you want a ride at 512.266.7142

I might take you up on the ride Barry, I'll talk with Scott, we work together. I was one of the lucky ones who was able to audition your amp, it's wonderful!

Sounds good! I live near Round Rock so that works well for me!

Looking forward to the trip north on the 1st.  Can I meet you in the Randall's parking lot just off 620?

I plan on bringing a (more modest than in Austin during January) mid-fi collection driven by an OPPO DV-980H, Onkyo C-7030 Compact Disc Player, O2 and Matrix M-Stage.  I haven't yet decided what cans to bring, but it will include an assortment of at least 5.

I've been freting about changing my username and realized I had two head-fi accounts, one with the username I wanted, so I'm abandoning "Indykun" and sticking with this one. Sorry about any confusion! (This is what happens when you lurk head-fi for 10 years and then suddenly decide to become active!

Hey, I'm bringing my attempt at a PM Starving Student hybrid can amp, which apparently has a short somewhere in it. If I can't get it up and running by them time the meet rolls around I'd appreciate it if y'all looked at it! I have pretty close to no idea what I'm doing, my dad helped me a ton on this.

Would you guys consider the parking lot of Ikea at 1431? The only reason I suggest it is they have a parking garage where folks could leave their cars without worry. 
 
Just a thought

I know we are less than a week from the meet, but has anyone put together a list of potential headphones, amps, dacs, sources, etc.. that should be at the show? We use to do this back with Alex [AK]Zip put on his meets. So sad how things went with him. I always had great dealings with him and some good conversations as well.

I guess I'll bring the tool box and a magnifier (it's tough getting old).
I used to bring a few tools to meets. Any symptoms to help narrow it down?

GS-X may not make it, but I'll have something else to try, the ECP Black Diamond.

Confirmed no GS-X2, and confirmed Black Diamond will be there (shipped today).

New Trader Joe's opening on the 30th just down at Lover's and Inwood I need to get some stuff while I'm near one (none in Oklahoma). Thankfully they have good Sunday hours and I can go after the meet.

So my list of stuff is as follows:

Cans:

HD800
HD600
K550
PortaPro

Audio Electronics:

ECP Black Diamond (amp)
Matrix X-Sabre (DAC)
Matrix M-Stage HPA-2 w/ USB DAC (DAC/amp)
Matrix Mini-I (DAC/amp)
Matrix Mini-I Pro (DAC/amp)

Sources:

Acer Win 8 Tablet (on X-Sabre/BD/HD800 + M-Stage - bring flash drive if you want your own music)
Rotel RDD-980 CD
