  Thanks, got you guys down. Btw, I'm only a bit frustrated because I sent a notification PM to about 30 people last week and aside from you guys, I haven't heard from anyone yet.....
 
 
 

 
I just checked my inbox and the most recent PM in there was from June 25.......

I'm flying in from Belgium on the 22nd so I won't be able to make it in time for this meet I'll definitely be at RMAF though.

So my August plans have since changed, and I might be out of town on both the 8/15 and 8/22 weekends. Anyone willing to take over organizing duties? I can still go ahead and book a venue for 8/22 regardless of whether I can attend or not, so that there can be a meet regardless, or I could fill in a new organizer on what to do, if anyone can take my place. Btw, the venues I was considering were the Sam Gary Library again (at $10/hr, so $70 for the day from 9:30 to 4:30 to allow setup & breakdown time) or the Belmar Library in Lakewood ($50 for the whole day).
 
In any case, it's unlikely I'm going to be able to make it now, but if everyone could either chip in equally, or if a new organizer comes forward soon then there can still be a meet.

 

I just checked my inbox and the most recent PM in there was from June 25.......

 
That's because you weren't on my last PM circulation, since you'd already said you could make it.

What are your thoughts guys? I honestly wanted to hear the Ethers, know member in the first meet thread said he had ordered a set, might PM him to see if he wants to come. I think everyone should list the equipment they would/could bring to see if people are still interested in meeting. If you want to list what equipment you want to hear that might be helpful as well. 
 
Interested to hear - 
HD-650
Mr Speakers Ether
Oppo PM-2
Any other headphone that is high end but has a more intimate soundstage, well balanced. 
 
Here is what I could bring, if there is interest. 
 
HD800
Alessandro MS Pro
AKG K501 
AKG Sextett
Audio Techncia ESW9
 
Paul Hynes Phono Stage - Technics SL1200 - Denon DL103S Cart
Twisted Pear OPUS DAC  with tablet/fiio x5/cd-player as source (if anyone wants to bring cd's I will bring cd player). 
 
cavalli EHHA for amplification. 
 
I will also bump the original meet thread to see if anyone else might want to join. I can take over organizational duties if you will be away, ASR.
 
 
edit: I won't be bumping original thread, that seems to be locked. Anyway, please express your interest.

I might be able to go. Right now, it is looking possible for August 22nd, but that the only date I can go of those listed. Even then, it depends on how things work out here.
 
What I would like to hear:
Mr Speakers Ether
Hifiman HE10000
Hifiman HE6
 
What I can bring:

I would rather not bring all of that, but if anyone is interested in a particular item, let me know.

 

[Asr]

The meet has been booked and is now officially on, see the updated post #1! We have the Belmar Library in Lakewood for 8/22.
 
Everyone should know that a condition of having the meet at this library is that it will be open to the public, so we should expect to have some non-Head-Fiers walk in.

 

[mandrake50]

I'll be seeing what I can do to acquire some loaner gear based on the previous posts, no guarantees yet though.

 

I will also bump the original meet thread to see if anyone else might want to join. I can take over organizational duties if you will be away, ASR.

Lots of other junk... if I happen to see some interest expressed  by anyone... can't list it all.

Assuming that the meet occurs on 08/22/15, I can make it.
 
Since I like to travel light, I will bring my Chord Hugo / Silver Dragon / Fostex TH900 setup. If I have received the EnigmAcoustics dharma DH1000 by the date of the meet, I will bring those as well.
 
By the way, the Chord Hugo sounds much better, in my opinion only, with an Alienware computer as opposed to a Mac - especially if one is running something such as JRiver.
 
As an Ambassador, I will contact Moon Audio's Drew Baird and see if he has any esoteric demo equipment available for audition.
 
Take care,
 
The Old Mad Dog

I will be there no matter which date, as long as I'm allowed... As I am new to this it will be my first such meet. Since I started as a car audio fanatic I have sunk all my spare cash into that the past year. Thus all I will be able to bring is a measly Fiio E07k and my headphones, is it ok to come to demo other people's gear?

 

[AudiophileTL]

Actually I should have my Luxury & Precision L5 by then that I can bring.

Where is the Google Apps link to list the stuff folks are bringing?
 
Thanks.
