Also Gary Gill of the Capital Audiofest may be in attendance. I have asked him if a few of us Head-Fi'ers could be apart of the Audiofest (which is comprised mostly of speakers) and he seemed enthusiastic. I thought he should attend to give him a glimpse of Head-Fi. I am hoping we can get something worked out and get a few exhibitors ourselves to the show. It is July 8-10 in Rockville, MD. If you are interested follow the link for more info.

 
*As of February 8th, will be updated
**Maybe, not confirmed
If you want to attend please post in this thread or PM me that you are and list your gear so I can add you and it to the list.
 
Last but not least, I have an Schiit Asgard but no full size can to pair it with. I have some spare funds in my Paypal ($175). I am willing to buy whatever headphone you guys want or are interested in trying out to pair with my Asgard for the meet. Let me know what you guys want. 
 
Update February 7th: There seems to be a lot of gear people are willing to bring, actually too much. How can we narrow it down?

 

[Driftwood]

I'm interested. TBD what gear I'll bring.

 

[drewfus420]

I will try to make it and bring some gear.

 

[tme110]

I hope to be there too. 
 
My grado 325is's are out getting modded and my MAD hasn't shown up yet so all I have to offer is a e7/e9 which I can't imagine would excite too many poeple...

 

[tme110]

I'd post the address too to limit confusion between the 20 fairfax county libraries.

 

[mralexosborn]

Definite answers would be nice but I'll put the three of you as a maybe. 
 
How long do you think it will take to get the Grado and the MAD? The meet IS two weeks from now. 

 

[scompton]

I might be able to make it.  If I do I'll bring mostly vintage orthos and a few random others, unless someone requests something else.  I do have a lot of vintage headphones I can bring if anyone has anything specific they'd like to hear.

[mralexosborn]

The HP-1 and one of the Fostex's (preferably the best sounding one(s)) are the one's I am curious to hear. 
 
Looking at some of the gear you guys have, this meet looks promising. What sub-$200 headphone are you guy interested in hearing so I can buy it? Check the FS forum. 

 

[vherr]

I'll bring my Benchmark DAC1 Pre and my PS1000

 

[vherr]

It would be great if you could bring any of your Stax headphones.  I've never listened to electrostatics before.

Room: City of Fairfax Conference Room 103
Date: Sunday, February 20, 2011
Time: 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM

 

[funkymonkcp]

I will try and make it. If I do come I will bring the following things.
 

1. Pico amp
2. HD650
3. NuForce Icon HDP
4. UE-11's (not much use)

 
If anybody can bring a tube amp that would be great. I've never heard one before and I would like to hear how the 650's sound with one. More specifically I would like to hear a Woo Audio amp. Still, any tube amp will suffice.

 

[BebopMcJiggy]

I suppose I can bring uh a LCD2, HD650, M50, SA5000, maybe an AIAIAI TMA1
Balanced b22, Balanced a20 (the cases for this will be amusing.) and uhhh hmm an Antelope Zodiac+?
Possibly a db1/pb1 and a protector maybe if anyone is interested in that crap.
 
Possibly an EHHA but I gotta make some new heater supplies.  I may or may not be too lazy to get this done before the 20th.

 

[vherr]

Please do bring an LCD2, I would love to listen to it.

 

[BebopMcJiggy]

I mean I'll bring it but there will probably be more than 1 ;p with mine being the 2nd already.
