Man, I am seriously thinking about going but I don't have an amplifier to take with me. I have the Stax Sigma Pros and an SRD7Mk2, A Macbook with lots of classical music, A Compass or a Behringer 2496, and the Beyerdynamics DT880 Pro; just lo to mid-fi, but I would need somebody's amplifier to connect my SRD7Mk2 to use the Sigma Pros. If anybody lets me use their amplifier I am seriously thinking on going. Let me know if that is the case.
I am in the process of getting me an eXstata, and will be getting the O2's but don't have them yet.

For newbies and friends here is a meet etiquette thread.

I think it's good stuff to think about so we can all have a fun day.

gilency, feel free to just bring yourself. You can listen to the exstata in my rig and I have the sigma pro covered.

I am probably going to be late, like noon or 12:30. Just to let you know.

Some LPs.

OK...seems like I'm ok for going to the meet

Finally!
Ok so here is my dilemma, do I bring the digital rig or go full out and bring the analog rig?

I'm leaning towards getting the vinyl rig, but can't set it up on a flimsy table. If I can be GUARANTEED the use of one of the wooden tables, I'll bring the VPI TNT-V. I will probably need to stay around my rig most of the time as just the turntable, cartridge and phono stage retail around $20k totalled. Hate for something to go wrong even by accident.

I'll need just one power outlet. I figure I'll use my own outlets/conditioners for the rig.

EDIT: I just wanted to mention that I am fine either way...if a wooden table can't be secured for the rig, I'll just drop in to meet everyone without bringing the equipment, maybe just a RSA Shadow, IPOD, ALO Line Out Dock rig and UE-11s. Also, I think it would be best the tables etc. can be just distributed out before hand with namecards etc. so there are no issues during the day of.

I'm thinking about bringing my own table. That seems like a good way to go, for those that can.

This will be my last message as I am off to see chick flick with my girls (Vampire flick - New Moon?)

I think we will be OK with wood tables. There are those two big ones in the main room and two more in the Board Room that we can move to the great room. Seems like a few of you really need these (esp turnables, PJ, and Stax person) and I think it will work out.

But can I just deputize someone (PJ?) to agree to be there 30 minutes early and decide who gets what? I have been happy to rent space, etc, but don't want to have someone get there with $20k of turntable stuff and not have a reasonable space to set it up. Take pity on me, it is my first meet and somehow I am playing role of host!

PJ or whomever agrees to be the wood table deputy - I promise I will be there no later than 9:30am, and available to help move tables around, etc.

Also, I can provide more ideas for dinner afterward, but not sure I will be personally joining you (depending on family stuff).

Have fun at the movies. My wife has pretty much ordered me to rent Twilight (the first part) on Blu Ray tonight before she gets home so she can catch up. Then we do New Moon tomorrow at the theaters after the meet.

Trust me when I say it was a chore getting her to say yes for the meet.

Anyhow, I need to know if I can be GUARANTEED the large wooden table otherwise it's just too much work if I start getting things ready for the meet and not be able to setup. At the same time, if it's not possible, then I'm just as happy leaving the equipment where it is...

Hey I'm easy...just need to know where we stand with resources.

PS:- Today I just got my Nirvana Nevermind ORG pressing, Nirvana Bleach 20th anniversary Sub Pop pressing, Nirvana Unplugged in NY ORG pressing, Beck - Sea Change MFSL vinyl that I was also planning to bring along. The sound quality on these have been OUT OF THIS FRIKKIN WORLD. I'm in awe listening to the speaker rig as I type this. Just unbelievable. I thought the Beck Sea Change SACD was good....not anymore!

Leonard, if you're still around. Is there a guard gate, or anything we need to do to enter the community?

 

[vcoheda]

I have just received a very beautiful, and very fresh Diverter from Josh at Sonicweld. It's a demo unit specifically sent for this meet. If anyone wants to give it a listen, stop by and see me.
