OK nice and simple. Local Head-Fi meet. Sunday, September 16th @12:00-5:00 PM (obviously). At Coal Harbour Community Center. Most likely would be Sponsors. Bring your gear. Share your gear. Talk and have fun! This will be (hoping!) a large local meet right here in Vancity! Like I said above, Sponsors with their products are VERY likely this meet! Hoping for this to be a HUGE success and either Travis (http://headphonebar.com/) and/or I will be posting details as we approach the desired date. Bring your friends and let's make this a great meet! I unfortunately missed the last meet during January http://www.head-fi.org/t/584371/vancouver-head-fi-meet-january-14-2012 and I'm hoping members who attended that event can join us in this event. Cheers!

Come to my table for name tags! Also, I'll have Alcohol wipes handy at the meet.

Personally, I will be providing the group with my Samsung Ultrabook, Calyx Coffee DAC, Marantz CD5003 CD player (bring your CDs if you wanna use your own music!), Hifiman EF5 with stock tubes, Vintage AKG K141, Hifiman HE400 version 2, Grado SR225i with tape mod, Etymotic ER-4S, Audeo PFE232, Hifiman HM-602 player..

I'd certainly make an effort to make my way to one (since I'm very interested in listening to an LCD-2 prior to taking the plunge). Might have a toy or three of my own to bring along.

Anyone else? Sorry to hear that rangerid. Any ideas as in when and where? (Somewhere downtown? Sometime July?

I'm interested. The January meet looked pretty sweet, lots of nice gear there!  I don't have much to offer, just some HD25 and Shure 440 cans, C421-2227 and D-Zero amps, and a couple of iPods (one Classic and one Touch 4G).
 
Who organized the January one?  Can we get them involved with this one too?  :)

Yea I'll ask Travis from Headphone Bar if he want's to participate. Possibly hold the event at his store? Haha naww i'm only suggesting.

Everything is just an estimation atm. Good news. I talked to Travis from Headphonebar and he agreed to quite literally organize the whole event. He said something about bringing Reps from Companies. This is turning out to be a big meet. Spread the word!

Quite interested, but I'll only be around until the start of July. I'll wait on the official word of the meet date.
