Well crude, I will not be able to make it, The "cold" turned into a lot more than I thought it was and I was advise not to fly (ears and chest I wont get too detailed but it will take a week or two to get rid of).
Just got done canceling all my reservations...pity party for Bob...

I was looking forward to seeing you all. It will need to wait for next time.

Bummer
I think my next one would be SoCal in June 2019 - maybe see you there?

Maybe, will look into that.
I changed my flight to cover AXPONA in April. They were nice enough to do it with no charge due to the circumstances. HEH actually ended with a credit back due tot he flight being cheaper. The agent said I was the only one on the plane so far, LOL.

Just sitting hear watching the video and having a pity party....so many things I wanted to hear and people I wanted to see.

Aw bummer dude, sorry to hear that. Next time!

Don't worry, it's going to be cold and rainy...

The weather seems to be bad no matter when the show falls.

There's been a few years where the weather has been beautiful but in the past 8 years or so, that's only happened a few times.

How thick of a jacket should I bring with myself? Since I'm coming from the east coast.

Aw man... you seriously will be missed. My gang will raise a few glasses to ya!

Looks like the local weather will vary between 70 degrees and 37 degrees.

Spoiler: Overly detailed clothing recommendation joke

I'd say a fall jacket should be enough during the daytime, but wear layers (which is always a wise travel idea). I'll be wearing a tee shirt inside the event, but I'll probably bring my leather jacket and a thin sweater for jaunts around town. I highly recommend a button up shirt and traveler jeans from Banana Republic, they look fancy and feel great, the pants resist wrinkles, and then you can put on a thin Merino wool sweater that weighs nothing over top of the button-up. Oh, you probably can't eat at most restaurants without shoes as well, and socks will help prevent chafing from standing all day. Hat is good too.

Watching the video made me think back to my HeadRoom Home amp and Senn "phones I bought on a Stereophile recommend 23 years ago. How far we've traveled here............

If there's anyone who is planning on attending RMAF, plays MTG, and will be in town Friday: I will be attending an FNM about two miles away from the Marriot and I'd love to play there with ya'll. Just DM me if you are interested.

Rest well, friend. There's going to be a big, empty space without you here, but taking care of your health always comes first. You'll be missed this weekend, but hopefully it'll only be a short while until we get another chance to get together.

Don't get overwhelmed LOL. Don't try to hear everything. Get you list ready ahead of time for what you must hear and try to find out what booth/room they're in. Also plan to walk around and check out some of the amazing 2-channel systems in the show case rooms (!!) Get your must-checks out of the way before you get lost on the random stuff. However much money in your bank account. Prepare for it to be empty and pack an extra credit card...

Wo

Hi everyone! We'll have 10 ETHER 2s at the show. Check them out in our booth 64.65, our quiet(er) room 538, and at Chord Audio, Ampsandsound, WooAudio, and others. And the price is lower than I think people expected, $1,999.99.

Wondering if there's any chance the Massdrop x MrSpeakers Ether CX Closed Headphones might make an appearance? I'd love to get a listen to a set of those, as there's a vague chance in hell I could actually afford them :-D
