I am pretty sure that is the one. Big thanks!
 
Got laptop setup with Tidal now. Last year I just had mp3's and the selection was horrible. Should be slightly better this year. 

 
I just hope that the wifi is solid otherwise I'm kinda buggered...
 
Also just an update, I'm looking at the pile of crap on my table right now and I'm thinking I may leave a few items at home.
 
Probably won't be bringing:
 
Burson Soloist
Yulong D100 MkII
HE-560 (looks like one of the pads are ripped...)
K702 (unless someone really wants to try them)
 
 
Also probably worth linking to the typical meet etiquette: http://www.head-fi.org/t/450911/uk-meet-tips-for-newbies
 
I'd like to stress to people, please don't unplug interconnects when things are powered on! I was at the Cambridge UK meet earlier this year where some bell end destroyed a pair of HE-6's by doing just that.

Looks like I'll be able to make this one after all! I'm going to bring a pair of used Sennheiser HD 380 Pro's and JVC HA-RX900's to give away if anyone is interested. I got these for free from skullguise and I'm going to pass them along to a member that will get some good use from them. :)
 
I unfortunately don't have a source ready for a meet...would anyone mind if I shared a source with them? I'll bring along my PPAv2 amp. Thanks!

Please bring the 560s even if they are busticated, I need to hear them to gauge their signature. I am also looking to test out the Ethers, so don't hold back...

I'll bring a couple extra DACs

Thanks. I may need one. Not confident FedEx will get their act together with the loaner Bimby.

Is anyone going to be taking pictures ? Last year as an afterthought I brought my camera and took random pictures. I could do the same this year and probably take better pictures if no one else wants too.

Excited to come back here tomorrow. I tested out my set up today and should be interesting. Able to run both my Magni and Lyr 2 at the same time for comparisons. I am also in the market for a new DAC as well so bring them on....

And a heads up on my setup. I got a pair of hd800 about 2-3 weeks ago. HD800 are inherently bright and my amp/dac is bright. So when you listen to the setup know its sunshine to your ears. I plan to listen to other setups and see what amp/dac i want for the hd800.

I'll be bringing about 50GB of FLACs and DSDs (complete with JRiver Media Center meta data) on a pair of USB flash drives that I'm sure will make you smile.  They're portable enough where I can connect them to your PC temporarily if you want to audition a bigger selection.

Big thanks! last year the wi-fi wasn't an issue. But for some reason if it is we will be counting on you. Thanks!

See you all tomorrow!
 
Funny thing is that this week I caught a head cold, and my ears are a little plugged up (congestion), but not enough to keep me
away from the meet this time!  This is the first cold that I caught all year - right before the Fidelis meet!!!  Whats up with that?

I'll try to catch up on sleep tonight. 
 
Looking forward to it!

It's just a Gamma2, nothing too special but no drivers to install.

I'll bring my camera if I remembered to charge it! I'll just be taking casual pictures though

23 days ago you were told not to get sick! You gotta listen better. :)

Any chance you will bring an ALO CDM?
