Err, sorry but it's too late. I have you down for ear cleaning duties between 1-3pm
 
Report to me first thing and I will give you a box of cotton buds. It will be your job to go round cleaning everyone's ears during the afternoon, to maximise potential audiophile nirvarna amongst attendees.
 
Hope this is ok?

Audiophile ear cleanliness is no joke. As a long standing member of Headfi you should know that. No need to bring your own earbuds though. Nadeem has arranged sponsorship of ear cleaning by Q Tip.

!! Any audiophile knows that using cotton buds to clean ears is a terrible idea! All they do is compact the wax (rather than remove it), and if the tip comes off in your ear well... Here is a nice story:
 
Man uses cotton bud to clean ear. Cotton tip comes off in ear. Man goes to A&E (the correct place). ENT doctor pulls out cotton bud with tweezers, along with some small crunchy things. 
Man is stone deaf in that ear. 
Crunchy bits = all the inner ear bones. 
 
Moral of the story: Don't use Q tips!

I would consider bringing my stax gear but will be busy with the blind test for much of the day. I am trying to think of a way round this that doesn't put anyone else out so have not ruled it out yet. If shipsupt ends up going then he will have the magical sigma pros (or are they the 404s) and you're in for a treat if you're interested in the stax brand otherwise I would like to think that at least one or two stax setups should be there
