I'm hoping that there will be some vinyl rigs there... I've been toying with the idea of setting up a vinyl rig to play some old stuff and check out my Dad's collection which has been collecting dust for years now.  It would be great to see how to set something decent up and what it sounds like... of course I can relate that it's not exacly easy to transport, so no worries if you choose to not lug it.
 



I'll plan on bringing it.  I'll try and bring a decent variety of vinyl too.

I can see it now... spilled beer sizzling on the Mullards.

I've been busy lately, but it looks like I should be able to attend this meet.  If there is still space available, here's what I'll be able to bring:
Unison Research Unico CD
Trafomatic Experience Head One
Grado HF2 with reverse quarter-modded HD414 pads

Hey all,
 
It'll be great to meet everyone there! The final Schiit plans are:
 
1. Both Mike Moffat and I will be attending.
2. We're bringing:
 
Lyr (final production version) --> LCD-2s (or whatever you want--got any K1000? HE-6?)
Valhalla --> Senn 650s or Beyer 990s (or, as above--bring your high-impedance cans)
Asgard --> Grado PS1000 (or, you know how it goes--bring it on!)
 
3. As far as digits go, we're declining to show any prototype stuff, because the sheetmetal gives away too much, even in ugly form. Yes, it's that obvious. No, we're not going to tell yet. So you get to enjoy some truly antique Theta gear. Which may surprise you. We'll hook up whatever you have as sources as well.
 
See you there on the 19th!

Hi Jason,
 
Will you be bringing any amps with you for us to buy? :)

Unfortunately, nope. We're currently in a major production crunch. Lyr pre-order is sold out, Asgard and Valhalla are headed into back-order (short, 2 weeks-ish.)

Awww. :frowning2:
 
Perhaps we can help lighten your load on the way home by buying the demo amps you're bringing. :)
 
Looking forward to hearing the Asgard though. I'm pretty sure that's going to be my next purchase, because I've been looking for an SS amp to leave at my girlfriend's house. Her apartment is always freezing in there (it's pretty much a basement), so the Asgard can double as a space heater also.

I'm assuming the hotel has a bar somewhere. I'd bring beer, but there might be underaged head-fiers at the meet. Wouldn't want CEE TEE to get in trouble, since he's more or less leading this whole meet. :)

The hotel doesn't allow beer or any other adult beverages that weren't bought from or through them to be consumed in the hotel conference rooms.
That's not to say that we haven't but you have to hide it from the hotel staff. We were caught after a meet a couple of times back and were told to cut it out (they weren't rude or anything but they did make it clear).

Does the hotel have a covered area where cars can park while equipment is being loaded and unloaded?


Good question. Maybe just phone the hotel and ask. Usually hotels have a canopy of some sort above the main entrance for this very reason.

Just to help stir the tempest in a teapot that Jude started in his blog about the Skullcandy Aviators -
 
I stopped at an Apple store on the drive down today and picked some up to use at the meet.
