Official NYC area / Regional Fall meet, November 14th, 2015 - Stamford Sheraton
 
This years NYC Metro Area Fall meet will be held at the Stamford Sheraton in Stamford, CT. There should be plenty of room for at least 100+ people. Like last year, we have 2 adjoining rooms and 3rd if we need it, so there should be plenty of room for all. The room is called Davenport and it's downstairs.

As usual, all Vendors and Members are welcome.
Donations are welcome to help cover cost of the room, but are not required to attend.
Donations for the "Not so Silent" auction are greatly appreciated. Also, a volunteer to run the auction would be greatly appreciated.

Meet will be from 9:00am until 4:00pm on Saturday November 14th, 2015.
"Not So Silent" Auction 2:00pm
VENDOR SETUP 8:00AM

BUY/SELL Corner - I’ll have a pad and pencil set up where one can let others know where they’ll be located within the meet area.

Please reply to thread if you intend on attending. Include a list of gear you are bringing. If you plan on coming and your name is not on the list please PM me or post in the thread and I’ll add you.
 
Meet Rules
  1. Please treat fellow head-fiers, vendors, and their gear with the utmost care and respect.
  2. Do not unplug headphones without asking permission from the owners first.
  3. Do not turn anything on or off without asking permission first.
  4. Do not move anyone's gear from their established area without asking permission.
  5. Absolutely no food and drink will be allowed near any equipment including your own.
  6. Please have courtesy and ensure that your hands are CLEAN before handling other’s equipment.
  7. Be mindful of the time you are spending listening to vendors and others’ gear especially if there are others waiting in line.
  8. Be mindful of personal hygiene. DO NOT use hair gel or other product that may damage or stain a headband or earpads.
  9. Please use common sense! To repeat the most important rule: treat fellow head-fiers, vendors, and their gear with the utmost care and respect.

 
While there should be plenty of power, be prepared to bring what you need in terms of power strips, extension cords, etc.

I will DEFINITELY be there with:
 
Sources:
--Fiio X3ii DAP
 
Headphones and IEM's:
--Sony MDR-1A
--Trinity Delta IEM's (not purchased yet, but will be ordering them by the end of this month)
--Shure SE215 IEM's
--POSSIBLY a pair of V-Moda M-80's. . .I sold these to my roommate, but he'd probably let me bring them to the meet so people can check out these great low-budget portable on-ears
 
DAC's/Amps:
--O2+ODAC combo DAC/amp that I will also have bought by then, OR a Schiit Magni+Modi or Bifrost stack, or something along those lines 
 
I'm definitely looking forward to the meet as a chance to meet other audiophiles in this area, as well as a change to listen to some headphones I wouldn't otherwise get a chance to demo. . .I'm really looking for a chance to listen to some Mr. Speakers cans, more than anything!

I would LOVE a chance to listen to the Alpha Primes!  I should have that ODAC+O2 amp/dac or a Schiit stack by then, so maybe I can try and see, with your go-ahead of course, how good a job it does driving the Alphas!

Doh, I just recently passed up an opportunity to move to Armonk NY and am now feeling some regret since that would've been only a half-hour from the meet....
 
Chances are pretty low I'd able to make it, but I plan on definitely being there vicariously.

Nice, I guess I'll just wait 'til Novemeber then to decide if buying the E12 amp will be able to give me a notable sound-improvement over my Fiio X3ii. . .that is, if you'd let me stack it with my X3ii so I can find out :)
