to dampen is to wet or moisten. the correct term is to damp, which is to control or restrain.

Dan and Frank I, sorry that we'll miss you this time around. Hope to see you in the fall.

I need to thin my collection so if you're thinking of scoring something take a look at my profile and let me know what you're interested in so we can meet at the meet.

I'm planning on attending and will try to rustle up a few more old timers (ya think Mikhail might be willing to show? :imp: ). Sorry to hear that you won't be throwing any more shindigs after this, Tom, as yours are truly special, but thanks for all you've done for the community over the years!

Hopefully I can join in the festivities. I'll notify some of the old guard and see if they too can make it.

  The auction is clearly Yikes domain! 

  The more the merrier. Please bring yours too.

I'm awaiting the arrival of the Berning Micro-zotl amp to bring to the meet. if anyone ccould supply a nice front end to go along with it, it would be helpful. I'll also likely be bringing a bunch of cds for sale, and possibly headphones too. If anyone is looking for anything in particular...

I'll be attending with my old friend, MGbert, and hope to be bringing a cool amp along that folks will be interested in.

My impression is one of great disappointment that I won't be able to make it today. I think this is the first NY area meet I've missed in almost a decade. As well as enjoying the opportunity to listen to great gear, I most look forward to catching up with my Head-fi buddies. Have a great meet...

  me too...... 

happy bday Tom. i hope to join in the meet festivities.

i thought i'd signed up for this as i always have, but apparently not. anyway, count me in. look forward to seeing many friends, old and new, there.

are these the same phone in two different finishes?  how much are they?   when will they be available?

since the cost isn't an issue go for the lcd 3 as it will likely make you a happier camper. it sounds better, looks better, and feels better imo. can you get to a good meet and hear some of the more recent toys? you can get a better idea of what's out there and what tickles your fancy.  besides...
