Hey, that would be cool, let's see what the guy at C.E. has to say, and LingLing1337 can take a look at the facilities. I think we're going to talk to him tomorrow, LL in person, and me on the phone, hopefully at the same time.
But it's good to know we have an in at NFM if C.E. doesn't work out for whatever reason. I assume NFM probably has some empty space somewhere in the facilities that we could use.
Looks like we have 11 possibles now, and a nice gear list.

Depending on how late this meet goes I may or may not be able to attend.
The issue comes from this being labor day weekend. The store I work at requires 100% staffing that entire weekend (since we get the next Monday off, I guess). If it's later than 6, I'll be there.
All I really wanna listen to is the HD800, PS1000, HF1, D7000, RS1 & 2, and the AD700.
...um...I prolly won't get to listen to all of them, but hey...whatever...
PS: I've already talked to our buyers about kind of "hosting" this so we can see if we can get a room. I told them that you may or may not need to use the store. It's not a absolute, but I at least have the ball rolling in case CE doesn't pan out.

Not sure I'll be able to come up with an amp of my choosing by this event but I'll do my best. Either way... I'll at least be bringing 3 sets of headphones, and maybe some razer gaming headsets I got for free so we can make fun of them. They're so imbalanced, left side is quieter than right, but at the very least the headset party is comfy... it has an inline amp.
Girlfriend doesn't seem to mind, she's not very discerning when it comes to stuff like that so she's using them. Eventually I'll gift her some nice headphones. I should bring her with so she can pick her favourites. her birthday is the day after. ^_^
Nylan, would you sell me your LD MK II if I offered you normal price (less shipping)? I don't know how attached to it you are or if you want to upgrade. By the way, I've heard about you. I actually listened to the MDR-V6 for the first time at NFM's headphone's line up and fell in love and when I asked about headphone amps they told me bout you but you weren't in at the time. Otherwise I'd of already met you. I wasn't an aspiring head-fier at the time.

I'm sorry Aynjell, but I am attached to my Little Dot. I understand that paying for the shipping sucks, but I haven't even had it for a year yet (plus it was a gift from my inlaws).
I know the extra 40 bucks in shipping sucks, but I just consider it part of the cost of the amp.
I'm not surprised that my coworkers have informed you of my existence. They know about my headphone hobby, even though not all of them understand it. I try to keep kind of a low profile here on head-fi in regard to where I work, but I decided to let you guys know just in case custom isn't available as a location.

Just thought I'd ask. I know a lot of you guys are looking for the bigger better deal at any given time.

I've been to some meets in KC (which there is one coming up soon, btw) and some of the desktop tube amps that are around the same size of the LD MK II sound fairly similar.
Of course, I still have the stock tubes. Once I gets me some cash, I'm buying a new set of tubes for it.

The Oct. 3rd date is much more open for me and gives me more time to submit something to my boss.
Maybe custom is bringing in some ultrasone, beyers, or AKG?

Great! I see from your sig you have nothing, but another pair of ears will fit in just fine. I'm getting stoked, even if we are two months and a few days away yet.

No problem. You'll find something you can't live without, I imagine, if you can hold off that long.
If anyone wants to take a look at Custom Electronics' website, here is a link.
I know I'm going to be drooling over the HT setups. I usually try to avoid this kind of store, the HT is harder on the wallet than Head-Fi.

I live right around the corner from this place. If I don't make it something's seriously wrong.
