Awesome! Glad you can make it.

I'll try to make it, wife and kid notwithstanding. I can bring about anything from my sig, plus my own designs.

Edit to add: Go ahead and put me down to bring the Atrium, VC, Rognir and Susvara (again with the caveat of spousal permission). If Schiit is sponsoring, is it kosher to bring other amps? If so I can bring the Timekeeper and a Flux FA-10.

Edit: dang. Wife and kid have taken precedence, kid is sick so I have to pull out.

I'm no longer in the area to attend, but I highly recommend this meet. I had a great time last time I attended. Thank you @gc335 for hosting!

If you are in the area, I highly recommend attending. It's a great opportunity meet like hobbyists, and try great gear!
