I'll try to make it if I don't have to go out of town for work.

W00t, I'm free to come to the meet.  After a year and a half of reading Head-fi, I'm excited to meet some of you in person and learn more about this obsession that is quickly consuming my life.

Edition 8 (arriving this week!)
LA2000 with Silky Oak cups and Jena Labs balanced cable
IE8
JH16
TWag cables - Elite Reference LOD, IEM Protector, Protector to mini, OM IEM to mini, Oyaide mini to mini, Viablue mini to mini
RSA Protector
HiFiMAN HM-801
WhipMOD (the new iPod mod from Whiplash Audio)
Cowon S9, Touch 2g, Clip+
 
What I'm excited to listen to or hope to see:
 
Wyred4Sound DAC-1 or DAC-2
Lavry DA-11
Benchmark DAC1 USB
Headroom BUDA or other balanced desktop amps
LCD-2, HD800, T1, Ed.9, Ed.10
 
Thanks to the organizers, I'm really looking forward to this.

Last-minute gear change: will be bringing the Avenson Audio Headphone Amp instead of the Schiit Asgard. Looks like I'll be getting it back in time for the meet (I had to send it back to the manufacturer for a minor fix). (Other gear was posted here: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/516571/official-new-york-area-meet-nov-20-white-plains-ny/120#post_7030611)
 
I've been fighting an internal struggle - half of me wants to skip the meet and explore NYC instead, but the other half is telling me to attend the meet. It's not often I get to go to NYC and there's still so much of the city that I haven't seen! I'll probably end up going to the meet anyway, oh well. I guess I'll just have to schedule another trip to NYC sometime.....

More trips to NYC is a good thing, Asr 

 
And your post reminds me that I should mark what I'm bringing:
 
Stax SR007MK1
Stax SRX MK3 Pro
AKG K340
 
and this a maybe (depending on logistics):
 
Stax SR001MK2
 
I won't be carrying any amps so I will be at the mercy of the tables, particularly Kerry.  Little warning Kerry, I'm gonna be asking you a question or 500 when I get there.

Yeah, mostly it's problems on my end where I can't update the file at will, but have lots of intermittent issues. It seems down more often than up. I have other reasons for getting a better hosting site, so maybe I'll resolve this once and for all before the next meet. If not, I'll arrange something.

I cant wait for the meet!
 
I wrote a short poem, about DIY amps and irony.
 
A month ago I ordered parts for a new amp
I had vacation from work last week
The parts will be here Friday

That's a work of real power and truth, Ari.

That is an excellent!  You are a true renaissance man.
 
Makes me want to try some Haiku. 
 
 
Here's one for Ari's amp:
 
As fall turns colder
New York headphone fest arrives
Amp unbuilt, unheard
 
And one for the meet in general:
 
Sound heard on the wind
Sources, amps and cans delight
Headphones on your ears

Hey guys~ would anyone be so kind as to help me solder a plug to my headphone cable?  I tried it twice and I failed at making the connection clean... If any of you would spare 10 minutes I would be SO glad.

 

[DavidMahler]

I'm considering bringing my Entire setup minus the headphones.
 
So it would be my MSB Platinum DAC III and the TTVJ 307a Millett.  And my iMac
 
I may bring one headphone for demonstration, but I'm hoping people will take advantage of my system should I bring it.  I'll either yay or nay if it's coming on the 19th.
 
I haven't gone through this whole thread but will anyone be bringing any of these amps:
 
Manley 300B
EarHP4
Balancing Act
Zana Deux
Woo22
Woo5
 
Those are the amps I am most interested in hearing.  If someone would want to connect any of those amps to my source in SE mode, my DAC can power both my amp and yours simultaneously.  Let me know....I will bring my RCA interconnects in that case.

DM, you have, after your nightmare, developed some kind of relationship with Ultrasone. and they owe you....
any chance you can give them a call and see if they can show up at the meet. and if not could they send you an Edition 10 (as well as mebbe an ed8 & ed?) to bring along? (it'd be really nice if they'd donate one for the auction!

)   tia.
 
Jude, you have contacts at Sennheiser. any chance you could get them to show up?

 

 

[Dimitris]

Oh darn! I cant come. I have to be in Miami the whole day! Argh!!!

Ha!
 
I'm not sure they owe me anymore, but I also wouldn't say I have a "relationship"......certainly a thread being put up on the sponsor pages and personal email written to each company would be good.
 

 

 

[Kerry]

I look forward to catching up with you.

I'll throw a solder iron, shrinkwrap, etc. in the car so I can help you out w/this.  You'll be able to ID me by the gear list I posted a bit back
