I'm planning on raffling off some stuff.

I will have a list next week!!!

 

[Listens2tubes]

I don't see grbwitt on the list, he was the 23rd to opt in and will be the 25th on the list if he gets on now.

Good call. With the PM I just got, we're done then! Any updates to the list, go ahead and PM them.

Any chance of a quick review of the Beyerdynamic Headzone before the NJ meet?

PS: Not sure if I can stay the whole day but I will be there in the morning for sure.

I'm a mini-meet virgin so I apologize for my ignorance in advance.

The OP states that the meet is now closed. Does that apply to attendees as well as people demonstrating gear?

 

[SACD-Man]

I'm assuming that you are not using the iPod correctly then....

One fun experiment we did at the first national meet near my table was thoroughly watch my and someone else's iAudio X5L thoroughly TRASH an iPod in terms of sound quality. That was fun.

No guarantees right now. I've already gotten about three requests to fit people in and I'm not sure it's going to happen. The room is just a very limited space, and this is a first-come-first-serve style meet, unfortunately. I absolutely hate to have to do this (turn people down). Wavoman?

 

[jinp6301]

Hey, my GRE test date changed so I'm going to have to pass on the meet

Sorry guys

 

[MD1032]

Sorry to hear that jinp. On the bright side, we have room for two more people now I believe. Let me check on that.

 

[SACD-Man]

Hey WJS can attend with me.......so he can be my guest....

 

[SACD-Man]

BOY....I have chosen my SACD source and I will be bringing my Sony SCD-XA777ES Modwright.

An absolutely amazing source!!!!

Here you go Wavoman!!!!!

hehehehe

Let me talk to the hotel on Monday and try xyzzy (magic happens).

If magic fails I could try the old-fashioned way (money under the table).

Or, this being NJ, I could make them an offer they can't refuse (set way back from Eisenhower Pkwy on the way to the hotel from I.280 is in fact the house of the fellow that the Tony Soprano character is supposedly based on. You have to know where to look, and I'm not telling, although I have actually been to the front gate).

Will report back, assuming I avoid arrest and incarceration (or being whacked).
