IEM are great to bring. Not easy to share since you have sizing issues and icky ear wax issues, but by all means, at least bring them to list to stuff.

I think there's definitely interest in what you call low-fi and portable amps. I've heard the hype, I'd love to hear them without buying them. Thanks.

I want to hear the CAL and the flow. Thanks for bringing the stuff.

I'll update the master list later today with your stuff.
