Jesse Anderson here in San Antonio, TX. I will be attending the Head-Fi meet. I will be bringing two Nagra IVS, and one Sound Devices 702. I will also be bringing plenty of tape and digital live recordings of Trinity University Jazz Band. I look forward to meeting members.

It’s possible I can make the meet with another audiophile friend but still unsure.

Gear I’d be bringing:

Amps: Apex Teton, Oblivion Hybrid Amp, Shortest Way 51+

Headphones: ZMF Verite, ZMF Auteurs, HD650, Ananda, Verum One.

Dac: Bifrost 2
Preamp: Saga +

I didn't see this before but I've been trying to find someplace to try some ZMF stuff, so crossing my fingers you can come!

@boxster233 As an update to my stuff, I WILL be bringing the L700s, so the only thing excluded from the list you've already got are the 007a's, regrettably.

Hi! Based on your profile, I'd really love to try out the Audeze Hifiman, and Parasound stuff. (also if you'd be willing to share a power conditioner *coughcough* my system really needs it.)

Yikes, I should have looked at his profile... "Everything" now seems impossible. I 2nd the Audeze and Parasound Amps for being brought!

Look forward to seeing everyone and the gear of course tomorrow.

Would anyone attending the meet be willing to bring a small amp or headphone amp. The Nagras have a good headphone amp but with so many different headphone quality may not be what it should be. Look forward to seeing everyone.

Will you be willing to let me hook it up to the Nagra or were you going to be using it during the meet? I just looked that amp up, it is very nice. I bet it will sound good with the Nagra analog recordings.

Jesse
