Neither of those two headphones will stand out at the meet since they are discreet looking (cheap) and are not commonly talked about on Head-Fi (other than their respective threads). If only one person stops to listen at my rig, then I'll know who it was... shane55. BTW, my FA003 is for sale, so you may have a chance to buy. Ill even cover cost of shipping and handling!

For those of you looking for a media player, then I may be able to bring another MacBook Pro to the meet. I also could bring an itunes express, but I don't know if that will allow me to use a single MacBook as two sources (digital output from mac, and digital output from control of the itunes express). You may also want to bring a hard drive of music, my albums are copied at 320VBR AAC.

This sounds great. If I can manage to come, I will try to bring my Ah-D2000 with J$v2 Pads and Grado HF-2 (latest batch) with G and L cush pads. I still haven't been able to listen to any higher Denon than the D-2000.

As long as work doesn't get in the way, I'll be there with a pair of D7000's.  Stop on by and try them out.  I'd like to try your D2000's - I need a decent pair of work cans, and from what I remember, the D2000's are way more than decent.  I had the D5000's, and felt the D2000's were a better value.  I had the D5000's and D7000's at the same time for a couple of weeks.  It was nice to have the opportunity to AB over a couple of weeks.  The D7000's won for me.

What. A. Bummer.
 
Have fun, though!

Oh that stinks! Sorry to hear that.
Just send all your equipment to CEE TEE, I'm sure he'll take good care of it.

@ Shane- Ha!  You're funny!
 
@ thundeer, that's great that you're coming!  I have just heard a Sparrow for a second time and compared it with the Benchmark DAC1.  It sounds great for the money, I am considering it but would love to hear the Compass and some other DAC/Amps before buying anything.
 
That's one of the things the meet is for...and to meet the other Headphiles!

Awesome!!  I have a W1000 and would love the chance to hear a W1000X (or W5000, for that matter).

I'm really curious to hear some AKG 701's.... Anyone have any?

I'll be toting around my K702, which is substantially the same can, listening to the amplifiers. I can virtually guarantee that there will be examples of the cream-colored version present as well. At last February's meet Filburt, who tends not to skip these events, kindly let me listen to his K701 and I liked it well enough to spring for the 702.
 
AKG K702
AKG K601
Sjostrom Audio QRV07 amp (now mostly assembled)

@ Kevin Brown - What version of the Sparrow do you own? I have the B version, and I would like to hear the A with upgraded chip.

 I have the B version too.  :)  Love to compare it to a FUN though.

I will try my best to make it out to my first event and bring some toys as well:
 
*iPad and iTouch for the use of my Pandora One account (higher bit-rate than reg. service)
*Stock Denon D2000
*Dell XPS 16 for Flac and to try and use with others DACs
*Altec Lansing(don't laugh until you listen to them! UHP326 earbuds
*ATH-M35 if someone really would like me to
*anything else I aquire from now until then!
 
Cheers, all!
