Yes, for my utopia. I appreciate your offer, but I wonder how it would work.. I mean many of the amps on the floor will probably work with xlr cable so I probably will keep that cable with me for two whole days..! I was thinking of getting some cheap xlr cable as a backup
Essentially, it's a leap of faith, and trust.
Since your Head-Fi join date predates my own, you can probably remember a time when Head-Fi was a much tighter-knit community. I'm willing to bet that, when you first joined, many of the threads you read back then felt more like personal conversations between friends. It was certainly like that when I first started posting.
Anyway, shortly after I first started posting here, veteran Head-Fiers would offer to ship me headphones to audition. They were very kind to me, in taking chances with their gear, so that I could build up my listening experience. I haven't forgotten that, and am now in a position to pay it forward.
I'll understand if you don't want to be responsible for the cable. But my offer stands. All you'd have to do is return it to me before you leave the show. If I'm not easily locatable at that time, you can leave it with somebody at the registration table, letting them know that it's for me.
