I hope you bring your Arthur. I wanna try it on my Athena Adel

I wish I haven't sold my Koss esp950 and Andromeda so early so I can bring it to the event. I am pretty sure some people would be intersted on the andromeda.

I don't own the Arthur, that was just a demo unit I had because I was selected for the review tour. I might have the Fiio X5 3rd Gen. DAP depending on what the date ends up being and how quickly the people ahead of me in the tour pass it on. I'm going to try to get Jack at Empire Ears to send me a demo kit, try to get Eric at Effect Audio to do the same with some cables.

If anyone has a way to get vendors to come/send demo kits, that would be great.

Ohhhhh, I forgot that they sent you all of those! Jack sent me an assortment of Comply tips about a month ago during the time of when I had the Arthur, but they got lost in the mail:/

Thanks Tom for letting me know about this.
 
I would certainly like to make this - I can do the April 22nd and May 13th (out of town on the 6th - voted for the 13th because of the non-April availability above).
 
No guests
No pizza :)
As much time as permitted

Maybe jack or one of the empire members might fly here to do the demo :wink:

Maybe, but idk. He hasn't gotten back to me on it yet, if not he might just send me a demo kit like how they did with Johnathan Army-Firedawg last year.

Alright, so I'm only able to do May 6th, so I'm hoping something will work out.:cry:

April 22nd I am having a workday for my Eagle Scout Project and May 13th I have to go to a prep class for Nation Youth Leadership Training(NYLT/Top Gun).

Okay, okay. There was a miscommunication error with the info given to me about the prep class and I don't actually have to go to it, so I can now attend on May 13th. Nick, if possible could you edit the poll so that my vote is for both May 6th and 13th? Thank you.

Just a quick reply to say that I will never be there and am open to all the above dates but May will be best for me. I will try to see how many people I can round up to come with me.

Thanks for putting this together for us.
