Is this the address 1750 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852 ?.

Yup! It's at the Twinbrook Hilton, as per usual, right across from the Metro station (if you prefer to take public transit).

Spatial will be debuting their new X4 (passive version of the X5, slightly smaller woofers) as well as the new M4 Sapphire.

If you can get the new SRX9000 there that would be a major win imo, probably the can I personally most interested in.

The STAX SR-X9000 arrived yesterday, so we'll definitely have these at the LTA Headphone Lounge.

Headphones:

Audeze LCD-X, LCD-XC, LCD-4, LCD-5, CRBN
STAX SR-009s, SR-X9000
Dan Clark Audio Voce, Ether 2, Aeon 2, Stealth (maybe)
Meze 99 Classics, Empyrean, Elite (en route, cross your fingers)
Focal Celestee & ClearMg
Hifiman Jade II
iBasso SR2


DACs:

MHDT Orchid
Border Patrol SEi

Local Head-Fi friends: Hoping to find out if any of you own the ZMF Verite Open? Trying to determine if I’d prefer it to the holy grail that is the Utopia, which I auditioned at a local shop.

 

[HiGHFLYiN9]

Sadly I don't own a pair, and they only sell direct so local shops wouldn't have any. A colleague has the Verite and he swears by it He really likes the resolution and the weight of the notes.

 

[skhan007]

Do any of you DC metro area guys own or know where I could hear the Benchmark HPA4 Headphone amp?

 

[Law87]

anyone local interested in buying a hifiman susvara and a Vioelectric 281? I'm getting ready to move to japan so gotta sell my stuff

 

[Zbell]

So are you gonna a be a Fostex guy now or what?? Enjoy the new experience and glws!

Haha the Japanese have great taste; Fostex fullrangers are amazing

Now that DC is dialing back masking and proof-of-vaccination requirements, any of you interested in a meet up? I've never been to one, so probably not a good idea for me to drive, but more than willing to help!

 

[kendavis]

I think that there are a lot of folks who would be interested. As always, the big challenge is finding someplace to hold it (without spending/charging too much money). Any ideas?

Some librarys have conference rooms that hold 20+ people. Seems DC has a 3-hour limit -- Would something like that be workable?

We have used libraries in the past. With all the setup and teardown, 3 hours seems a little too short, in my opinion.
