I'm gonna be real busy at work then, but I might be able to make it. Hirsch, you have one h*ll of an inventory of gear, dude. WOW!

My only fear is that if I come, I'm gonna leave there wanting to buy an AudioValve or something insane.

p.s.
is DustyChalk still around? I thought he was local to this area?

I'll bring my Audio Technica M40fs - should be an interesting comparison the the 280 Pros. I'll also bring my Koss "The Plugs" (with some new cushions) - an interesting comparison with the Etys. My first pair of "good" headphones ever are my JVC HA-D700's, which I will bring just in case anyone wants to hear them after the D990 stampede. My cushions disintegrated as well, and they were not exactly mistreated, so that disintegration of the pads problem might not be the fault of Etronics, but JVC. I can't wait to hear the HD600's! I'm hoping someone brings PortaPro's, also, as I've never seen a pair in a store and only once on the Metro on someone's head.

Are there any wine drinkers going to this meet? I figure I'll bring some wine so we can make it a truly hedonistic experience.

wish I had a ride

, stuck in baltimore

me <= carless college bum

 

[antness]

soupy, how about the train?

 

[soupy]

Ill take a look at how I'll get there by train, but could I get directions first?

So many toys I wanna try..

 

[antness]

I could probably meet you at the train station, either on a train myself or by car.

 

[soupy]

that'd be cool, but I can't say I'm definite yet. I wanna see how much school work is piled up then, ugh...I'll try my best to keep that saturday free as possible. Also, I kinda have no clue how to take the train around local areas..lol. I'm only a freshman in college so still not too familiar with the area.

 

[kerelybonto]

Just wanted to report officially that I'm not going to make it -- probably going to be at home in Kansas City. (Though I did find some nice tickets to the Bahamas ... if I pack a hammock and sleep on the beach, I might be able to afford it.)

I don't think I have any equipment that someone else won't have, so shouldn't be a big loss. If you guys feel like having a couple extra HP-1000s on hand, though, that could be arranged.

soupy, the MARC train doesn't run on Saturdays, but you can take the MTA light rail train to BWI and a bus from there to the Washington Metro system. That's cheap -- something like $0.95 for the light rail, $2.00 for the bus, and $2.00-$3.00 for the 'tro to the stop near Hirsch's ... so about $10 total roundtrip. Your other option is to use Amtrak. A roundtrip fare (PennStation-Union Station) should be less than $30, then it's another $2.00-$3.00 each way on the Metro. I'd go for the Amtrak-Metro route if you go because the light rail-bus-Metro thing takes a long, long time.

Headroom will be sending assorted goodies, including various headphones, interconnects, a Total Airhead, a Cosmic, and a Max.
