The summer NorCal meet is set up for Saturday 6/28/2008 in San Mateo at the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel in the Iris room. The room is 1100 square feet and will hold 18 6 foot tables. This set up should hold up to 36 member rigs or less with vendor set ups. We have the room from 10am to 6pm we have power on all four walls but members will need to bring power strips to distribute power. I will be contacting the usual vendors to see if there is an interest in coming to our meet. Craig from Eddie Current has said he should be there with a new amp that he has been fine tuning since CanJam.

Here is the Hotel information Hilton Garden Inn Hotel San Mateo California - San Mateo Airport Hotel - San Mateo, CA Hotels
They are located right off 92 and they are 8 miles from San Francisco airport. This location is easy to get to from both San Francisco and San Jose and is right across the Bay for our East Bay members.

The hotel normally has rates of $99 a night but if we have 5 or more people who express interest in attending from out of town we cab get a slightly reduced rate possibly.

Please post in this thread if you plan on attending and what gear you are bringing. Please PM me if you have any questions and I'll do my best to get you an answer.
Please bring a power strip with you the hotel has just one duplex per wall so power may be tight I have a chang light speed 8 power outlet but the more the merrier.

Cool.

Gear: Headroom Desktop Balanced + DPS, PS Audio DLIII, K701, HD650 both APS balanced.

 

[blessingx]

Thanks for doing the work to get us this far JP. I'm doing a bit of rebuilding of gear, but it's likely I can bring:

STAX srm-007t
STAX srm-1/mk2
STAX sr-Lambda Pros
STAX sr-5 nb Gold
Singlepower Extreme Platinum
Sennheiser HD580
Headamp Pico

Just picked up a pair of Lambda Sigs, so feel free to add to the list.

 

[Bigguy]

I'll be there. With below:

 

[Iron_Dreamer]

I should be in for this one as well. Sounds like a great location JP!

 

[utep10]

Count me in John. Thanks for getting the place.

 

[TheMarchingMule]

Sweet, looks like I'm able to make it so far!

Guys, hit me up if you want me to bring something! My setup is very awkward right now; a hybrid of portable and home, so please request anything from my setup that you wish to try out!

EDIT: Mmmm, I could bring my iMod, cable, and tube amp; my iMod is filled to the brim with MFSL, DCC, Black Triangle, and original masters of many albums I'm sure everybody will love to listen to!

 

[Voltron]

We'll have to see if NeilPeart will relive the mobile K1000 rig moment because that happened at the last San Mateo meet.

I will probably bring the Rockhopper 6-channel Beta22, a balanced source, and some balanced cans (Ed. 9, RS-1, PS-1, HD650/600 etc.). Maybe I will also bring the Stax 007t and 4070s or maybe i will just bring the 4070s and use Ric's amps.

Should be a fun time for sure!

 

[aaron313]

I've been wanting to hear a B22! Sounds like this will be a balanced bonanza when you throw in the Stax.

 

[neilvg]

I'm in! (I think). Yeah, I'm in (probably)... no, for sure.


... yup.


I don't have any portable gear though... oh..

ER-4p!!!

 

[jp11801]

I'll have my Eddie Current HD2, Senn 650s balanced and my RS1s not sure on the source yet probably the Kora Hermes dac.

Looks like a good turn out already I'll up date the first post tomorrow with a running list of headphones, sources and amps. Now to find a good live show that night we can enjoy.

 

[Grahame]

Count me in, and props for getting a venue. Can Jam 08.5 Anyone?

 

[foo_me]

Thanks John for organizing!
I'm in as well...
Will be bringing the zana and RS1s

 

[rhythmdevils]

Thanks JP! I'm in. I'll bring:

Xin Reference
Xin Supermicro IV
Xin Supermini IV
PPAS

AKG K240 Sextett - EP & MP
AKG K280 Parabolic
AKG K290 Stereo (recabled)

 

[FallenAngel]

I'm definitely interested in coming, so unless something urgent comes up, I'll be there with as many DIY amps as I can carry, hopefully my Beta22 will be done
