Hey guys, got room for one more? If the Jersey meet doesn't get relocated, I'd like to be able to come here and still listen to some stuff and share mine. My gear is in the signature.

Sorry to hear about the traffic citation Mr Osborn, good luck with what sounds like a busy weekend for you.
 
I neglected to post the gear I'd be bringing last post in grievous violation of the OP. I'll remedy this transgression below.
 
head things
 
Stax Omega 2 mk1
Stax 202
Stax Lambda Pro
 
Amp things
 
Stax SRD-P
Stax 212
 
Source things
 
Rega Dac
 
I'll also make sure to bring two slightly dingy but very functional powerstrips along.

Hey; just confirming:  
  
I am going to attend, with a friend, too.   
  
In total, we will bring: a power strip, a laptop with a reasonable variety of lossless music, a Benchmark DAC1 USB, Denon AH-D5000.  
  
Might also bring a Nuforce Icon HD and a Sony MDR-V6, if my friend wants to bring those.  
  
We're very excited. I am super eager to see if I can audition the LCD-2 and HE-500; and all other headphones roughly in this "tier." After the meet I hope I'll be able to go home confident about what my next headphone purchase will be!

Oh and nobody ever got back to me as to whether it was ok if me and my friend came. I'd come alone but I can't drive so he offered to drive me.

No reservations are required. Come as you'd like. There is limited space though so be prepared to *possibly* be in tight quarters. I am not sure how many people are actually going since I haven't kept count.

Oh ok then, if I change my mind, I'll let you guys know. The Jersy/Philly meet is still looking like it may happen though so who knows/

Hi Guys,
Got my Beta22 working.  Any interest in a new Beta22 with hardly any hours on it or do we have enough of them.  Buffalo 1 or HD650 would hardly draw a crowd

 I guess. With or without gear, I will be coming in any case.  I definitely want to hear an LCD-2 or a HD800
 
Regards,
Dinesh

I am very excited to attend  this, which will be my first meet.  I had planned on attending the last one until the morning of, when life got in the way.  I'd be very interested in hearing a DACmini if anyone has one, or even a DACport.  I'm also eager to audition any electrostatic and planar magnetic headphones because I've never had an opportunity to listen to either type.  Ditto any tube-based amps.
 
I plan to bring:
 
HEADPHONES:
  1. Sennheiser HD800, balanced with Double Helix Cables "Silver Clone" cable
  2. Ultrasone Edition 8
  3. Sennheiser HD650 ("de-foamed" mod), balanced with APureSound v3 cable
 
AMPS:
  1. HeadAmp GS-X
  2. HeadRoom Total BitHead
 
DACS:
  1. Benchmark DAC1-USB
  2. Pure i-20
 
SOURCE:
  1. iPad (streaming 24bit/96KHz lossless files from a Seagate GoFlex Satellite WiFi hard drive via the Camera Connection Kit to USB)
 
Really looking forward to it!

Very nice set of equipment, schaqfu. I imagine yours will be among the most popular setups of the day.

schaqfu,
Very nice.  I am really looking forward to hearing the HD-800.  Do you also have the regular cable for your HD-800, to be driven by single ended amps?

Hey guys, I'm going to be in attendance as well with the following gear - 
HD600 w/ APSv2 cable
Sophia Baby amp
Sophia 91-01 300B amp
(probably) a custom Sophia headphone amp
and yes, headphones DO sound good when powered by speaker amps :)
looking forward to it!
