  A friend and I are last-minute attendees.  We're staying at the Warner Center Marriott, and will be there for the morning of the meet (we have to head out by 1pm or so).  Are there plans for any Fri night listening sessions?  We'll be there Fri probably around 10pm, if people are still up doing some pre-meet listening.  It would be great if people could post here what rooms they are listening in at what times, and maybe we can stop by.
 
I'll bring and be listening when possible through:
- iPod Classic
- Cypher Labs Algorythm Solo
- ALO Continental v2
- JH13
- Grado Headphile Woodied HF-1 (these are for sale).  
 
My friend is bringing:
- Focal Spirit Pros
 
Matt.

 
Awesome!! And yes, a bunch of us will be at the hotel tomorrow afternoon already. We will be doing some pre-meet listening sessions and I'll post in the thread when we have more info.

  Yeah, because how are you gonna visit the Brilliant Zen table if you're stuck at your own table all day? 

 

 

 

funny you said that Warren just wrote my first impressions post ever, in the Bravissimo thread.  If anyone has time give it a read (its kind of long though) let me know how I did.

Okay, here is an updated gear list.

I will be bringing:
 
Alessandro MS-2's (sold to customcoco, but he was generous enough to postpone recieving them your listening pleasure)
AKG K-340's
Grado GS-1000 (newly acquired

)
Amps:
 
Teac UD-H01
Yarland P100
 
Also, my pro audio buddy Mikey will be bringing an Audio GD dac along with a pair of his ATH-M50's.

Almost time!! I'm leaving my credit cards at home. Too much temptation will be at hand.

  Guys, please don't forget to RSVP for Warren's Birthday Party starting at 5:30p immediately after the meet. Come hang out with Jude, the A360 gang, and of course, the birthday boy himself.
 

 
Would it be weird to RSVP for the Birthday Party if I'm a relative newcomer and don't know anybody at the meet? Sounds like a great way to cap a fun day!

Of course not! Got you down!

I will bring my Schiit Mjolnir for the buy/sell if anyone wants it, maybe even my HE-500 w/ 2 extra earpads, PlusSound cable, and travel case.
 
For music, is USB accepted? - because I've only seen mention of the micro-SDs on here

 

[warrenpchi]

LOL, classic!! We should have a contest to choose the best one!!

 
What's the prize?  Maybe all the people that pick the most popular one can be randomly entered into a drawing for a romantic dinner with Jude?  Actually, Ima shut up now.  It was saying schiit like this that earned me my custom title. 

 

Road trip! Heading out from HQ to SoCal.

 
Wow, good thing Mercer's not carpooling with you... otherwise you'd have to strap him to the roof rack.

Matt, yeah, we're probably going to be up late, listening and hanging out for sure.  I should have an AK120, AK100II, AK120II, Tralucent 1plus2, LCD-X, LCD-XC, and maybe a few other little knick-knacks.
 
BTW, are you sure you want to head out by 1:00p?  The meet is going to be... well, you'll see how crazy it is when you get there.  You may never want to leave.

So I'm looking at the giveaway validation card right now...
 

 
And it occurs to me that there are a lot of prizes, but also a lot of exhibitors to visit. 

 
For those of you who remember the SoCal meet, realize that this giveaway has more than twice the number of exhibitors to visit - 18 this time around as opposed to 8 last time. 
 
And for those of you who were at the recent SF meet, please know that this is 50% more than that - 18 this time versus 12 last time.
 
I guess my point is, start your validation rounds early and get it done... to procrastinate is to flirt with danger.

 

[TimSchirmer]

How does the treasure hunt work exactly? The last Head-Fi meet I went to was like 10 years ago. Do they just call out your number in a raffle or do you actually have to do something? I want to win those hd800s!

Me thinks the idea of not running around like a nut to get to the stickers will keep me sane in the end. My opinion of course. Good luck to those who do.

Covalent Audio added to exhibitor list!

Lol, no you actually have to do something.  Here are the rules:  http://www.head-fi.org/t/714480/official-2014-la-head-fi-meet-august-9-2014-marriott-warner-center#post_10455662

Yeah, but if all of us veterans did that, it would just be the noobs winning! 

  Don't you DESERVE that HD 800?
