You mind if we communicate off of Head-fi? For Meet you would set up tables etc? If you want to do more for the weekend that would be great too. capitalaudiofest@gmail.com
Sent an email with my head-fi username, haven't gotten a response. Just wanted to check that you received it.
No requirements, just show up and respect people's equipment while you're there. You might want to bring your own music and your own headphones so you have music and a playback system you're familiar with to compare with other stuff you try.
I've been checking the vendor list and all I see is Woo Audio and WyWires in terms of head-fi. I no longer see any reference to CanMania on the CAF site, so I'm wondering how things are going. Last year, it was an amazing event--really comprehensive with tons of equipment. CanJam London is scheduled for the same weekend; hopefully it won't mess with us too much.
I kind of expected CanJam to interfere with this even unfortunately. I guess the meet is going to be the beat place to try headphones.
Vinnie Rossi (of LIO/Red Wine Audio), Microshar (they make various portable electronics), and Urban HiFi (online retailer of David Berning's new MicroZOTL 2) are also on the exhibitor list. And yeah it's kinda odd that the CAF site doesn't mention CanMania anymore. Judging from that and the lack of activity in this thread by the event organizer, particularly when the event is just 4 weeks away, it seems like they canceled CanMania and the "meet" isn't likely to happen now....
@gandhisfist Did you ever hear back from Gary Gill about helping out with the meet? I wouldn't jump to any conclusions until we hear from Gary. All we need for the meet is some space and some tables, so it's probably going on as planned. The number of head-fi vendors is another question.
