  Date is confirmed for May 27th. Reply to the thread or send me a pm for attendance confirmation and gear/guests you are bringing. I am so excited!

Oh boy! I missed out on a NC meet a few years back, but I've got working transportation, a non sucky job and a wife to help me out this time around, so count us in! 
 
My only question is does any one care to split a room with my Wife and I? I hate driving 3 hours any where, and I'd prefer to be there right around 10Am, but that means I've got to be up at 5 AM that morning, so I'd prefer to arrive Friday and maybe jam with a few of you guys that night, and then be there bright and early on Saturday morning 
 
As far as Gear is concerned, at this moment I'd be bringing everything
 
Audio GD NFB 10ES2 Source Optical in from my UCA 202 and my LapTop Running FooBar 
 
I'd be happy to have that running my HE 4 exclusively 
 
with my HM 901 and iBasso PB2 running my W1000X and Fostex TH X00
And my HM 601 running my Nhoord Red V1 and Superlux HD 668B
 
[I've got a balanced HiRose spiltter that runs those 2 nicely, and a basic 3.5mm yCable for the hm 601 out] 
 
I might tote my HD 25-1 ii around my neck too in case your curious how that sounds 
 
but if any one's free to split a hotel please let me know!

Oh man the hd 25 were one of the most uncomfortable headphones I ever tried and from what I can remember they were harsh.

I actually think the wife and I will be enjoying our room solo, lol newly married guy. Didn't dawn on me right away how uncomfortable it could be, still planning to arrive that Friday though 
 
and I got the PTO approved! 
 
HOTEL BOOOOOKED, I'm really excited! An ashamed to admit I've never been to a meet. I've tried a few times, but I've never had reliable transportation, nor a job that offers PTO, but I'm happy to say you guys will be my first meet :D an I'm super excited!!!

I look forward to attending the meet on May 27th. My gear list hasn't changed since
our last get together however I have lots of new music including SACDs and Binaural.
The 8am start may be a problem because of the 2+ hour drive so please save me
some setup space.
