 Hells yeah - another Master 11 owner!  I'm pondering bringing mine....we shall see, but good to know one will be there.

 

[Rynsin]

I'm also excited to see a Master 11... I haven't gotten to listen to nearly as much audio-gd stuff as I'd like.

 

[johnzz4]

Yeah, I'm in love with this thing...  Glad I kept the box handy otherwise hauling it around would be less than ideal.  First meet, so any guidance I need besides bring the gear and be ready to listen??

There's some standard meet rules that everyone always posts -- basically, ask before you (un)plug anything, don't wear excessive hair product, and treat everyone's equipment as if it costs a million bucks. Everyone's generally extremely friendly.
 
It's also probably a good idea to bring a power strip and possibly an extension cord, sometimes the power situation is less than ideal. Maybe someone who went last year can chime in on that? 
 
Number one thing I wish I knew before meets --
 
 I think I spent more time talking to people, learning, and socializing than actually listening, and I've never been disappointed. For me, I end up learning so much and listening to so much that I basically have to take notes in order to recall it all later. At my first meet I tried really hard to listen to everything, and I managed to miss a few things that I really wanted to hear, so this time I'm going to pick one or two things from the equipment list I really want to make sure I get to.

Thanks - basically all the common sense, respectful stuff.  Should be fun..  I'm hoping to meet someone out in the Worcester area.  Seems as though us Head-fiers are pretty rare out this way.

It's pretty decent. Don't really see any reason to upgrade from the Taurus at all, may look into a Gumby/Yggy at some point.

I do a lot of VOIP chatting and headphones become too much after a couple of hours. So this has been my solution. 53mm! ad700 drivers on one of the smallest headsets I could find. I'll prob bring these too so you guys can get a laugh. The pads are from Grado S80 (only pads that I knew would fit)
 

 

[Ishcabible]

I got my hands on a DX1000 so I'll be bringing that (wish someone had a TH900 to compare directly even though I recall the TH900 being technically superior) along with possibly two other friends!

Nice. That's pretty "high end" stuff, at least at my budget. I'd be surprised if there'd be much, if any, of a difference.

Now that's not something you see everyday.

Oh cool! I've always wanted to listen to the nicer JVC phones.
 
I haven't been keeping track of the +1s -- I think we are at 3 right now.

 

[Richsvt]

I am really hoping someone can bring a pair of HE560s and the Ether. Those are on my short list and would love to get some time with each. Please, plesae will someone who's coming buy these so I can hear them? Just joking (or am I?)...

 

[MrMan]

For the people who haven't been to a meet here you go. This is what you can expect. Everyone is really cool. Just be respectful of everyone and you'll have an awesome time. 
 
There is a free streaming website for music that you should put on your computer. I forgot the name of it. this way people can try their own music on your setup.
