Whoa!! Great deal!! For anyone who has not yet heard the Red Headphone cable on HD800s (or Audeze's), you are in for a treat!!
Hello all! Looking forward to another great SF meet. We'll be bringing some Alpha Dogs with us, and will have a show special for orders placed at the show.
Alpha Dog and Mad Dog Pros will be available for 10% off either model OR pick two cables instead of one (approximately a 15% value).

Hey y'all!
Just wanted to share the meet map with you guys.
Of special note is the new portable lounge room. We've been noticing that there's a lack of space for people to check out each other's portable rigs - so we got some extra space with a huge conference table and big comfy chairs. There should be plenty of room to lay out some portable rigs, mess with interconnects, change tips, etc.

The Official 2014 SF Head-Fi Meet Giveaway
Since it's not really a raffle... and more like a giveaway as we're not selling tickets... let's just call it what it is. So, here's the lowdown on the prizes and how the giveaway works.
The Prizes
(current as of Tuesday, July 15th, 2014)
These are some pretty fantastic prizes... thanks to all of the exhibitors above for providing them!
How To Enter:
1. Pick-Up your Official 2014 SF Head-Fi Meet giveaway validation card.
This is pretty easy. When you go to sign-in, you'll be getting a meet badge that looks like one of these:
On the back of your badge, you will see this:
That is the giveaway validation card you'll take with you throughout the meet. This giveaway validation card will contain the logos of every exhibitor that is participating in the giveaway (i.e. donating a prize). To keep the odds of winning favorable for everyone, there will be only one entry per attendee.
2. Get your giveaway validation card filled out.
As you make your way through the meet, make sure to stop by each participating exhibitor. They will have some kind of task for you to complete. This can range from auditioning a specific item, to opting-in some info, to bequeathing your firstborn. Once you complete the task, you will receive a mark on your giveaway validation card for that exhibitor.
3. Turn-in your completed giveaway validation card.
Once you have your giveaway validation card completely filled-in, turn it into a meet volunteer at the registration desk. They'll verify that you've completed the treasure hunt, and then give you an ACTUAL entry ticket. Giveaway validation cards will be accepted until 3:59p.
4. None of this applies to members sharing gear (i.e. with table space) or meet volunteers.
Based on feedback from the last time we did this, we recognize that members tending to their rigs and meet volunteers don't have time to go on the treasure hunt. No worries. Come see third_eye or myself, and we will auto-validate your entry.
5. Exhibitors (and their staff) are ineligible.
Pretty self-explanatory. So for all of you exhibitors out there, do NOT validate anyone's card if their badge looks like this:
1. Show-up at the giveaway drawing to see if your number is called.
We will begin the drawing at 4:00p. If the number on your giveaway entry ticket matches the number called, YOU WIN! BTW, you must be present to claim your prize. If you are not, then another winner will be drawn. We are completionists and MUST have closure.
2. Decide to claim your prize or possibly go for something bigger.
If your number is called, you can choose to claim that prize, or pass on it in an attempt to win one of the other prizes. Is a bird in the hand worth as much as – um – a different bird in the bush maybe? Only you can decide.
3. Assuming you decided to claim your prize, gloat.
Make an "L" on your forehead, do a victory dance, taunt the rest of us, whatever. The fates have smiled upon you that day, and you won it fair and square. Just don't be caught alone in the parking lot after m'kay?

Oh, and just so you can be sure this is legit, here's some legalese for you: you must be 18 years or older to enter and claim your prize. Only one prize per winner. Once you win (and accept your prize), you're done. Neither Head-Fi.org nor the meet's officials and volunteers warrant anything regarding the prizes in any way. We're kinda serious about that firstborn thing BTW. Good luck!

Woo Audio is taking 10% OFF (cash deals) and 8% OFF (credit card) on show demo units (including HP). No CA. tax because we are a NY company. That is an additional 9.75% in savings and you get to enjoy it immediately. The amps are brand new for the show. It’s so new that they are still on the way to me from NY.

Upgrade tubes and headphone stands are well.
Look forward to seeing everyone.

The same goes for you Woo Audio...Thank God you aren't bringing a suped up WA5 or I would be in big trouble.
In case this helps anybody, links all still seem to work from the 2011 meet (renlute did this for us back then):
PUBLIC and PRIVATE TRANSPORTATION!
You can get to the event from long distance via 1) BART, 2) Caltrain, 3) SamTrans bus, or 4) your car. Airporter buses to SFO are another option.
1) BART terminates at the airport, Garage G, near the International Terminal.
http://www.bart.gov/guide/airport/inbound_sfo.aspx
http://www.flysfo.com/web/page/tofrom/transp-serv/pubtrans/
Then find a hotel courtesy shuttle bus to the Doubletree Inn. That should be free.
http://www.flysfo.com/web/page/tofrom/transp-serv/hotel/pickup.html
2) Take Caltrain from SF or San Jose or points between to Burlingame and catch a Burlingame Trolley to the hotel for free:
http://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/content/SFOAODT/media/pdf/The_Burlingame_Trolley.pdf
I just rode a Caltrain yesterday from the airport (SSF station, not Burlingame) to Palo Alto and it set me back $6.50.
3) The thrifty head-fier can take a local or express bus from north or south, from points between Palo Alto and San Francisco. You need exact change.

Hi, everyone,
Mike Johnson from Pendulumic
We are looking forward to seeing old friends, this Saturday in San Francisco!
And we are looking forward to meeting our NorCal headphone brethren, and introducing them to the STANCE S1.
Stop by and hear what the latest in Bluetooth 4.0 with aptx technology sounds like!
We will be offering our Pendulumic STANCE S1 at The 2014 Official San Francisco Head-fi Meet, at $179 (+tax) instead of our $199 list price.
Looking forward to seeing all of you this Saturday!
All the best,

Heck, I'm hoping to just enjoy myself. It's not like I have a lot of money to spend. SSDI, doesn't exactly give much extra money to spend. But if I can narrow the choices for gear I buy in the future, then it's all good. And maybe winning headphones?! I'm there!!
Lol, it's not that. Let's just put it this way, @jw111 has a greater fascination for Steely Dan's Gaucho than any man I've ever known.
