I can definitely come down to the city on the 17th. I plan on bringing my LCD-2 (2016).

Currently, I'm having an EHHA Rev A amplifier built for me. I’m hoping that it will be completed and in my hands before the date of the meet; if everything goes smoothly, then I will be bringing the EHHA, along with a Schiit Bifrost.

Damnit! Literally 10min away from me and of course I have to leave on a biz trip that night ;_;

 

[WeiFi]

I’m in.

Gear:
Audeze LCD-XC
HiFiMan Edition X (gen1)
(All my DACs and amps are schiit so no point to bring)

Hello all. I am very new here, and I like good Schiit! I am planning on coming with my HD650's

Of note.. if there are no spinners... i can bring a project debut carbon DC (ortofon 2M red) an maybe a few records... Would it be worth it?

Finally posted this in the Chicago area meet thread. Someone should have told me about it.

 

[milosz]

I'll be there.

Interesting that you are having this at ESS. I've done some projects with them and gave two workshop there, been involved with them since 1990, although haven't done anything with them for like 10 years.

I might bring an amp or two that I built.

Unfortunately I have a commitment to attend the Vintage Illinois Wine Festival with my wife and friends that Sunday.
