Thanks for the heads up on the scratch; the Sennheiser® rep must have run into either schedule conflicts (as did I) or hardware shortages.  Please do keep us informed on the schedule for the autumn Meet - hopefully I can make that one.

I'll be bringing Cavalli liquid lightning mkI, which I'll be putting up for sale. I don't have a table but I could put it on someone else's if they are interested in hooking it up.
 
Biggie.

Well I have some bad news.  I just finished wiring up the F4 and I went to turn it on and nothing happened.  I tested everything and as it turns out I have a bad AC module.  I have one made by Shurtner with a filter and when I plug it in, no voltage goes through.  Never had that happen before.  So, if anyone needs some space, I have a full table and won't need it anymore.

  Stupid thing.   I mean I can still bring it if anyone wants to see it, but it doesn't work.  Though I guess if someone has a spare AC module I can work on it during the meet.  It just needs to be biased...if everyone is working as intended.

If Light Harmonic has a Geek Wave prototype, let us know - I'm dying to hear more impressions as I went in on the XD128. Have a good one, everybody.

AAARRGHH.... Had to miss this meet. Stupid stomach flu. (would've been my first meet too..) -- gave all my gear to my best friend who demoed 1/2 his stuff and 1/2 my stuff to fellow head-fi'ers... texted me pics and it looked cool and apparently it was pretty fun and interesting!
