Hey guys,
Joe (Coolzo) has some personal matters to take care of that take precedence over handling the thread and such. I told him I’d be more the happy to take over while he tends to his responsibilities. I’m sure he’ll post again before the meet and he will most definitely be there on the 23rd. He has all the SCHIIT!!
With that said, I don’t have administrative privileges to update the thread so I’m going to copy and paste the OP to this page and update from here. I’ll send out reminders to remind everyone to go to page #5 for all updates for the meet.

Cool. Another nice surprise, the "Mrspeakers Voce" will be there and a new in the wild tube electrostatic tube amplifier. I may need more than 2 tables.
There will be a lot to listen to. This will not be a small meet with a lot of current gear!

We'll make it happen and accommodate you in any way we can. It's great that you're involving yourself like you are and we're most happy to have you. I see great things in our near and foreseeable future!

@koover Don't forget to put me down for bringing the Ragnarok. I'll be bringing it, along with my recently upgraded Leeloo, and feeding both from the Yggy A2. I'm going all-in this meet.
EDIT: I just picked up some rare 1957 Siemens EL84s that I got from a guy that pulled them from an old organ, along with a sweet Tung Sol smoked glass 12AU7 that I love. The Leeloo sounds beyond amazing now. Also, it pumps out 2.5W from the new 8ohm jack and almost 1.5W from the original 32ohm jack. All with a dead silent background.

Got some more news. Zach from ZMF once again is the man and is loaning us a few of his latest headphones for you guys to check out. The Verite and Aeolus will be there. Zach's gonna throw in some extra pads so we can hear some different sound signatures. He's also sending us some T-Shirts which we'll raffle off.
Additionally, Audeze once again has been cool enough to offer up their iSine 10 IEM as a raffle item. Excellent news!
Looking good guys.
OP updated above!

This is both amazing... and frightening. I'm going to get hooked on one of those new headphones, I just know it. I love Zach's work.

As a result of the gathering last fall, my first, I started to dip my toes...and my first purchase was a Sennheiser 6xx. I have used it with my new Topping DAC amp.
I have been thinking about whether it would benefit from a Balanced cable set up??. If someone has one with a Balanced cable to compare against , I would appreciate it.

I have a balanced cable for the HD650 which is basically the same thing.
I’ll bring the cable and then you can compare.

Hey guys,
Not much member gear listed especially headphones. Are there any more commitments with headphones, amps, DACS, IEM's that you'll be bringing?
Catering details are in their final planning stages. I'll post soon.
