Alright, well it looks like I already have my 1 table down. Do we have any idea what the powerstrip situation is?

  Hi Friends!  We'll be having a show special for Alpha Prime, $799.99. 
 
Look forward to seeing you!

 
How about a special early delivery of the Ether head phones to those of us who already ordered?

And don't worry about the picture, looks great.

Just got done with day 1. Had a great experience overall! The Ear Gear Expo had tons of stuff to stay busy for hours. Also went to Tyll's talk on the future of headphones which was very interesting. My favorites from the meet were the Hifiman he-1000 and the MrSpeakers Ether. Honorable mention goes to the Etymotic Research ER4 which sounded like it should have cost 3x what it went for.

Apparently, my job interview went so well on Wednesday that I have to go in to see HR for the round two interview. Tomorrow. In the middle of the damn meet time.
 
So I won't be able to make it. Sorry peoples :frowning2:   I'll be out on Sunday with my portable rig though to walk about the show. Hopefully I'll see some of you there then.

Awesome man! I was supposed to go today but work load and deadlines basically forbade me :frowning2:
 
Any good deals? Demos for the HD 800? Eyeing it and want to test it out. Thanks!

I'm only a 50 minute drive away, but I'm not sure if it's worth the exposure to so many bodies. Curse my dysfunctional immune system. I'd like to attend, but the risk of catching something is quite high (for me). Maybe next time. ;/

I bought a three day pass way back when. I went to the show on Friday There is just so much to see and hear. Headphones and speakers galore. I did not get a chance to hear the new hifi man 1000 yesterday hope I can get a chance today but the lines will be long and they only had two 1000s to listen to. The wait was too long yesterday the people were listening for awhile to them .
   Today I am going to try and cover as much of the show as possible. It seems like there is more to see this year than last year. But Saturday is going to be a lot more crowded I am sure.
This show is a true sensory overload .
   I think a fair amount of the rooms at least yesterday sounded better than last year . I guess the exhibitors placed more attention to the room issues that I heard at last years show.

The headphone that probably gives the X a run for its money.
