I just picked up a pair of Fidelio X2s which I'm enjoying.  I'll be bringing them to the meet.

I may have something interesting to bring. Gilmore current feedback amplifier prototype:

That is pretty darn cool.  Didn't realize KG was working on another design.  How are you liking it so far?

I like it well enough to maybe displace my KSA5 clone. I'll need to see how it holds up over time. :)

Headphone amp, swings about 40Vp-p, or roughly 4 watts into 50 ohms. The gain is set at 3.5, so it does 1W into 50 ohms with my current sources.

Bakoon has had a lot of success with a similar idea, it will be really cool to hear this amp.

I'll be bringing a million CD's with me - that is, I just started a new 30 day free trial of Tidal.  
 
A few months ago I tried it, and bailed within the trial period due to too many dropouts/interruptions.  So far tonight, though, no dropouts at all.  And sounds excellent.

Bill, I was thinking of doing the same thing. I currently have Beats Music, which started out as MOG, but I'm interested in seeing if I can hear the difference between it and Tidal. At the very least, it would be great having the free trial for the meet.

I enjoyed MOG when I tried them a while back.  My Tidal will be running during the meet.  Am testing it now in a restaurant with slow internet speed (0.59 mbps download speed at the moment), and Tidal is still running OK;  have had a couple of 1-2 second dropouts while here.

I may stop by for a bit.
 
Would probably bring the Benchhmark DAC2 / DACmini and maybe the Stax setup , SRM727-|| with the feedback mod and Lamba pro / 007 MK1).  Little different than the one I brought last year.  Had the KGSS and MK2.5 then. 
 
Could also bring the GSX-MK2 if Headamp people won't be there.  Anyone know if Headamp /  Justin  is coming?  Been interested in hearing that Ayre QB9.  Or a Hugo if anyone has one.  Lots of good reviews for the Hugo floating around.
 
Sidenote:  I'm going to be putting a few things up for sale soon so anyone interested in an old RS1 (buttons), Woo Wee, Shure 535, Sony EX1000 I can have those with me just in case someone wants them.

Wow, I was entirely unaware this was happening. I may be able to stop in for a while. I'm not sure if I can bring everything, though, and I don't really have method for keeping my in-ears clean for others' use. Headphones-wise, I can bring HE-400i, ZMF V1, HE-400, with Vali and Modi for an amp/DAC combo.

My weekend schedule is still in flux. But, if I come, I would be able to bring:
 
-Nuforce Icon DAC/amp
-Little Dot 1+ (tube hybrid amp)
-Asgard 2
-Grado RS1i and 225i
