)
2. Most Saturday and Sunday, I guess from 11am, depends on how far meet is from home.
3. Unsure, I live in Ringwood. 45 min drive would be fine I guess.

[Chamakazi]

I'm coming to Melbourne for 2 days, starting on Tuesday 19th =D

Yeah I could bring my totally awesome audio gear.

 

[nsx_23]

How are people planning on carrying their gear there?

If we're all driving, then I suggest NOT in the city since parking will get expensive.

I second that and don't forget your iGrado want to test it.

 

[Dom.]

i might tag along with my modded PS1 and modded jaycar headphone amp

 

[stang]

nsx_23 you should bring your 650's if you come

 

[nsx_23]

Well, I'll definitely want to meet up with some other head-fiers and try new gear. Hopefully I'll have a STAX amp by then too.

Yes, I'll bring my HD650, but I think I'll leave the Zero at home.....

I think some firm details such as location and date need to be set soon though.

 

[yukari]

I got a few portable amps, my RWA iMod, D9EC, and some iems =)

 

[Cianyx]

Pssh, got final exams, would be too busy

 

[nsx_23]

So is anyone here able to speak to their local council about a possible venue?

 

[kunalraiker]

I will do.

Any idea of headcount.

 

[stang]

Any idea of a suburb/post code either? I'm in Ringwood, 3134 btw..

 

[kunalraiker]

I'an in Glen Iris post code 3146
