Just saw this.  I have relatives coming into town this weekend, so I'm not sure if I can make it or if I could bring anything if I am able to stop by.  I don't have anything too exotic and most of my gear looks like it will already be represented though.

@h2rulz I'm not 100% that I'll make it but if I can I'd be interested to see your Crack build

I will be there (i'm pretty sure) with some stuff:
      T70's (250 ohm) w/ pleather earpads (@sorrick might be interested in trying the pads on his)
      HD 480 II
 
      DIY OTL amp (I'm pretty sure I've figured out what's causing the hum, but still need to fix it: the 14f7 input tube is VERY sensitive to AC in the heaters, so it'll be heated with batteries or a 12v wall wart)
      Schiit magni 2 uber
 
as far as DAC's are concerned, I'm not sure what i'm doing yet because I have no DAPs or USB DAC's, plus I don't have a laptop to use as a source. I might use a blu-ray player or a raspberry pi w/ a pidac module running volumio 
 
Edit: DC heater didn't fix it.

 Next on the list of potential causes is my PSU resistors, whish are cheap-@$$ inductive wirewounds (not non-inductive) They are probably picking up stray EMI from the massive toriodial trafo. At least, that fits the measurements. Unfortunately, fixing that means buying new resistors, and they won't be here until Monday or Tuesday. I'm still hoping to find a ground loop, though.

Although I'll probably be there late if I do make it, I am very interested in the NFB1.
And is it safe to assume that @gandhisfist (btw, thanks for organizing the meet!) will be bringing the NFB27h?
