  yeah! 
 
Even pneumonia couldn't keep me from this event w/ my boys!
I'm just SO SORRY I couldn't do more than make a few phone calls to help!
 
But after 5 weeks down I'm back! Doc says take it slow, well, he also said I'd be down 
for 8 weeks, and after 5 I beat it...
 
PSYCHED FOR THIS
 
So it looks like I'm going to bring this for my rig now:
 
MacBook/Amarra as source (MAYBE bring my Music Hall USB-1 turntable as source too - packin my VPI's would be too much right now)
McIntosh D100 as DAC (with its own headphone amp/output) running balanced
into Cavalli Audio Liquid Gold
Audeze LCD-X and XC, plus HD800s as the cans!
Running balanced front to back!
 
Plus my Alpha Dogs for use w/ the D100's headphone output.
 
Whaddya think bout dat????

 

I think that your idea of taking it slow would put me in the hospital! Looking forward to swapping stories, catching up...and hearing your most excellent gear!

Would appreciate it very much. Hopefully I will be able to pick it up in person as I will be in Irvine on holiday from Australia. I am supposed to travel to friends in Grover Beach on Friday but I will try to delay my travel for a day so that I can attend. I have never been to a meet before and am dying to try some of the good gear that is not seen here in Oz.

Wow, what AMAZING timing!!! You are in for a TREAT!!!

 

[warrenpchi]

 

Ah, had a little more than you initially led on eh? 

Maybe a bit

HD600s have an occ copper cable from headphonelounge (Ted's headfood)
JH11s will have an occ silver cable also from Ted

Though kinda hard to share CIEMs !

 
Remember, the main ingredient of a Head-Fi meet is Head-Fiers... and their friends.  Even if you brought nothing, there would still be WAY too much to listen to during the course of only one day. 

  But it's nice to have your own gear with which to audition other stuff in the signal chain, or for A/Bing.

Definitely leave the pneumonia at home. 

 

 

Would love a t-shirt with the meet logo on it so I can sport it in Australia!! Just make sure you have some REALLY big ones as I am not a small guy!

hmmm, let's see if we can make that happen! 

 
That's Head-Fi code for "Warren, get to work!  Go do some of dat graphics schiit."

You and me both!  Oh BTW, and this'll be announced soon, but the LAOCAS will be there too!

+1!  I keep trying to get our friend and fellow 360er Lachlan (a_recording here on HF) to come out, but his schedule is pretty packed these days.

BTW, for you first-timers, here are the three most commonly-said thing about practically every meet:
 
1.  It was a great meet!
2.  Everyone was so nice!
3.  There wasn't enough time...
 
Regarding that last one, you're gonna want to make a list of the things that you want to hear so you don't miss anything.

 

[LiteKirby]

Is it possible to buy stuff at meets? I've got a bit saved up I want to use haha

And yeah I'm making my list of stuff I want to demo

Yes, it is!  Not all of the exhibitors will be selling physical items at the show, but there is a rich tradition of exhibitors offering special show discounts to attendees.  We're going to be updating this thread in the coming week with information about what each exhibitor is showing, selling, raffling off.

In!
 
Centrance Hifi-M8
LCD-2

 

[driguy]

Hi Guys, 
Is anyone planning on bringing the AKG K812's?
 
Tony

 

[vincent199122]

Will there be a table for Head-Fi members to sell their used gear in the meet like last time?
 
Personally, I'm looking forward to sell some of my former gears and possibly use that money to buy new or used gear in the meet.

 

[GrahamBrown]

I am a new forum member and new to the hobby. I need to be in the San Francisco area on March 23 for a conference, so I think I will leave a day early and spend the day at the meet. I don't have any high end gear, but I will bring my PSB M4U2 phones so that I can check out amp/dac and new phones too. My first meet and can't wait.

 

[bearFNF]

I am going to try to make it out for this one, need a break from -22 F (-42 wind chill) way up nort 'ere...will be packing light, so portable gear only, Roxanne, Leckerton UHA760, UE7 pro, etc...

 

[mikemercer]

Guys!
 
I just had a HUGE breakthrough on the rig I'm bringing to the Meet!
I was listening to Radiohead's "Little by Little" (Caribou RMX - one of my acid test tracks) through my Audeze LCD-X, driven by the Cavalli Audio Liquid Gold, and I installed these newly arrived Double Helix balanced cables -
 
This is unreal. The technology disappears, the delivery mechanism, the components and model numbers - all that leaves my congested thought process. All of a sudden it's me and the sound of the music, nothing else matters, and I could do this for days... This is what it's all about for me. And I'm bringin' this rig with me!!!!
 
SO psyched for this event, and to kick it w/ ya'll!
 

 
YEAH @warrenpchi & @third_eye !!!!
