Doh!

I decided to head down to Calgary from Edmonton a day early just in case tomorrow turns out to be a long day and I'm tired at the end of it to drive back home.

My wife just texted me a picture of the Furmann power bar I forgot to put in the car. I'm without that power bar! Is there anyone from Edmonton/Sherwood Park coming down tomorrow that could swing by my place in Sherwood Park and pick it up and bring it down with them?

Pretty please!   LOL

I'm heading by Sherwood park tonight. Heading to a High school reunion! if you can get me in the next half hour I'll be able to pick it up. Also, I can swing by after the event tonight. I'll be heading down with Swich tomorrow morning.

Have fun today people.  I won't be able to attend, but I would be interested in a fall meet if you want to gauge the interest in that today.
 
By then I would be able to bring my:
 
Yggy (ordered)
Cavalli Liquid Carbon (ordered)
Modded HE-560
 
and I don't want to make any promises but a HE-1000 might be in my near future as well.
 
Looking forward to my first meet.  Too bad it couldn't be today.

Hi all. Hope you had a good summer (notice the past tense usage there... summer seems to be officially done for). Anyone make any stunning new audio discoveries since May? My favourite purchase was an Audio-GD NFB-15 DAC/Amp... not costly, but sounds lovely.
 
Am starting to toy with the idea of another meet. Thinking about doing November 15th (a Sunday). Am going to check into some hotels up near the airport, but first want to know if there's interest from the Alberta (and parts west and east) Head-Fi community in doing something only 6 months after the last meet. If there's strong interest, I'll start checking out venues.
 
Cheers.

I would be interested, since last time I had some family issues come up and I couldn't attend. As far as gear goes, I finally got around to restoring my old Pioneer SX-5590. Costs me several hundred dollars in parts (most of them boutique). Sounds great and its's a gorgeous unit, but it's way more power than I need (160W RMS into 8 ohm, more into 4 ohm). It's great for headphones like the Hifiman HE-6. If anyone local wants it, I'll give a much better price than I have it listed for (just inquire). I need the funds to fuel my tube amp building hobby :wink:
I can also offer my services to anyone local if interested (cables, tube amps, tube guitar amp repair, etc.)

Definitely interested! The last one was my first ever meet and I had a great time. I've managed to pick up the HE1K and MicroZOTL2 amp that I could bring along in addition to the Woo WA7/WA7tp and LCD3's.

Nov 15th works for me... I am using the Multibit Gungnir and Eddie Current Zana Deux with the HD-650's.
 
@rezolver - I couldn't spring for the Yggdrasil, but I hope you can spend some time listening to Gumby instead.

The way you were drooling over the Yggy last meet I was sure you were going to have it by now :wink:
