MUST READ THE FOLLOWING:
For those who have asked how this while thing works...

• People who are setting up gear, get there a little early if you can...space if first come first choose, so the best spots go quickly.
• BRING EXTRA POWER STRIPS AND EXTENTION CORDS. You can never have too many and someone will forget one and be in need of borrowing.
• Don't sprawl out all over the tabe...keep it tight...lots of people need to set up.
• Bring a source! iPod, computer, CD Player, turntable, whatever.
• Label your gear! Lots of people may have the same cans or amps.
• It's nice to make up a paper listing exactly what you're showing so others don't have to ask and you'll have more freedom to wander.
• While I've never been to a meet where something was stolen, I'd rather not have my meet be the first. So be aware of your setup or ask the person next to you to keep an eye on it when you go listening or to the bathroom.
• Did I mention to bring extra power strips?

Those of you who are coming to listen...
We're thrilled to have you! The head-Fi community is exceptionally welcoming and willing to share. We love showing off our gear and the sound we have achieved.

We do ask that you be courteous:

• NEVER unplug headphones with the volume up or the source playing.
• DO NOT take someone's headphones/gear from their table without asking their permission
• Many of the top headphones are open back...that means we all hear your conversations while we're listening. Remember to use your 'inside voices'
• Bring your favorite music on your portable audio player...but please ASK the owner of the rig to which you would like to jack in to help you make the connection rather than just unplugging their current source without asking.
• Take a shower that morning and wash your ears...you're going to be trying on other people's headphones and others will be wearing yours...it's just commen sense and courtesy

And one more time -Take a shower that morning and wash your ears...you're going to be trying on other people's headphones and others will be wearing yours...it's just commen sense and courtesy.

Then just have fun and enjoy the company and the sound!!

I live in Pittsburgh, love Philly would be more then happy to drive if there was a big enough meetup and parking isn't a nightmare.

 

[Nayyte]

Delawarian here! I would love this and be so excited. Been waiting for a local meet to happen and it would be my first time attending.

 

[ng5921]

Parking won't be an issue if we host in my apartment building - there is a dedicated paid parking lot ($8 for 12 hours) in the building, that is empty on weekends!

I'll add a poll to the original post just to see how much interest there is. If there's 5-10 people who want to come I'd be happy to arrange a date and get the room reserved once we pick a date.

 

[Huntersknoll]

I'd attend. Don't have much to bring but would bring my ZMF Atrium Closed in Olive Wood and could bring my Marantz 2218 so people can see how vintage receivers work great with higher ohm headphones and have fun with the "loudness" button haha

 

[broccoliflowers]

I'd drive up from Maryland. I'm new to the forum and have never been to a meet, but am very interested. I could bring my Audeze LCD-XCs (pre 21), but that's about it.

 

[Lorddarphyve]

I'd love to attend, any idea on a date?

 

[p51dbnnck]

South Brunswick, NJ, here.

I Could bring a v281le and cyan 2.

 

[ng5921]

Awesome!

If we can get about 10 people that are interested, I will send out a When2Meet and we can figure out a date.

@ng5921 if you don't already have a location, I know someone who might want to host. He's done local headphone meetups before.

I was thinking of hosting in the large conference room in my apartment building, however totally open to other venues!

It is approx the size of the ZMF room at CanJam 2024
