2) Remember that you're trying out another member's gear.
a.* Treat all gear with the utmost respect.
b.* Respect the owner's wishes.
c.* Give it all the velvet cushion treatment.
d.* Do not place headphones on top of other gear--if you're not sure where to put it, ask the owner.
e.* Do not remove any gear from a setup without the owner's permission.
f.* Do not remove any cables or make any other changes to the setup without the owner's permission.
g.* If you do take gear away from a table, or borrow cables, adapters, or power strips, try to remember where you got it from, and bring it back when you're done. In all the excitement, it's easy to forget where you got that 1/4" to 3.5mm headphone adapter.
h.* If you listen loud remember to lower the volume for the next person.
i.* If you don't know or are just curious about something, ask someone. Anyone. Someone knows, or knows someone who knows.
j.“You break it, you buy it” policy
k.* Ask if you're not sure how to operate any gear, or you're just curious about the system setup. Some gear requires headphones to be plugged in at all times, some gear doesn't like it when you unplug headphones unless the volume is turned all the way around. Don't just assume that everything works the same way. Just ask, it can save a lot of heartache.
3) Introduce yourself to other members when you get in the room
a.Don’t be shy, other members in this hobby are usually extremely nice from my experience!
b.Ask me (Mischa, a.k.a. swich401) or Eric (@hakushondaimao) where you can put gear if you brought any.
4) Personal hygiene is important
a.* Wash your hair and your ears--and behind your ears.
b.* Avoid the use of products like hair gel, hair spray, mousse, etc. Seriously, some of the headphones you'll have the opportunity to try cost more than a good used car.
c.* Clean out your ears so you can hear better
d.* Don't forget the deodorant (THIS goes for Oldtimers as well). Baby powder & cologne are not adequate substitutes.
e.* With all the gear & other members, it gets warm in the room. Dress accordingly.
5) No food or drink within the classroom
a.Step outside of the classroom if you want to eat or drink
b.Wash your hands if dirty before touching anything
Reminders:
-Bring extension cables, power bars, etc.
-Bring cables to hook up gear. Bring extra cables if you have them, especially adaptor cables or adaptors (e.g. 3.5mm to 1/4” adaptor, etc.)
-Bring IEM tips if you want to try out the IEMs at the meet. We may or may not have some extras that can be used.
