Did I say "lice shampoo for good hygiene"? I meant "nice bamboo for tie beams" to spike the table legs for good vibration control.
Must have been a typo.

I'll be bringing air freshener

...My camera...

Oh audio stuff... I'll bring my Rio Nitrus. If anybody wants to compare with your MP3 portable, PM me so I can put a few of your songs on mine. This way you can hear the exact same file.

My "super advanced material" cable will be there also.

I'm looking to get rid of my nOrh SE9 and ASL MG Head. Anybody interested?

mmmm yummy, a Dolby headphone setup's gonna be there. I guess I'll bring a few DVD's as well. Wonder how that Neo/multiple Smiths scene will play out. You guys should all bring DVD's with stuff blowing up!

in addition to what i mentioned before, if I get my Ultrasone HFI-550 Beatmaster in time it will be at the meet.

I am also bring a Herbie's GrungeBuster CD Mat, so we can see if it is a placebo, or with so many grades of sources, if it really helps, even on the higher end machines.

I just picked up a Philips SACD-1000 that I'll be bringing. I also have the job of bringing the Wadia 302 demo unit
biggrin.gif


Also bringing:
Sources: None (just the Wadia demo)
Phones: Grado HP-2, Senn HD 600
Amp: Headamp Gilmore V2
Cable: Cardas Neutral Ref RCA
Portables: Nomad Zen, Sony D-311, Sony D-E905
lots of music

Can also bring AKG K-1000 with equinox cable and Norh Se9 or RKV. Do we need any more AKG setups?


Edit: The Philips SACD-1000 is a piece of crap. I've only had it 3 days and its broken already. Sorry it won't be coming to New York

We can use some female XLR to female RCA adapters so we can run single-ended components off the balanced outputs of the High end players. It would be great if you can bring them to the meet.
