Good news. 
My new Bottlehead Smack won't arrive in time for me to get it built before the meet, but Doc has offered to loan me one of his amps so the Chicago crew can get a chance to hear it.
 
I should also be bringing:
Macbook
HRT Streamer Pro
RSA SR-71B amp
HD-650 headphones
HD-228 (If I can pry them off the wife's head)
Hippo Shroom EB
Might bring my Modwright Transporter....maybe.

anyone interested in hearing their phones on a vintage Marantz reciever? Wanted to gauge interest before I lug it in.

That Tape Project stuff absolutely sounded great at RMAF.  I wish I had some of those reels to play on my Teac reel deck.

I've been wanting to hear the DBA-02s for a while, it would be great to listen to them. I have a pair of Fischer Audio Eterna's if you are interested at all..I could bring them.

We go to 5 pm so there should be time.  Maybe bring your client and let them experience this great hobby.  (Maybe not, they may think we're nuts. LOL)
