Please don't forget to bring a snack!

Reply here so we don't double up

Not as good as a pelican. But this one off Amazon fits perfectly. I used it in my carry on before.

Dooood, outstanding; that's way more useful. Ordering. Thanks for the pro tip!
I suppose I should also look for a size good for the power supply... and the Aegis... and the Spring3.. and the... (oy, here we go down another rabbit hole lol).

Bringing Schiit Modi 2 MB and a Shortest Way SW51. Unmodded Senn HD650 with the ZMF Senn pads to go with that. May keep a ZMF Verite Open on me to check out the scalier things there.

Edit:

Rules: Be respectful of other people’s gear.

This is important for having meets with nice things to check out. Not following this rule cut out a few people I know who would have attended with said nice things. Not saying everyone will disregard this, but it only takes one to screw it up for others.

Also, if you're bringing equipment, don't forget sources (laptop, dap, etc.), power strips and an extension cord. Better to be prepared than sorry.

Finally, I'd like to thank Effect Audio for sponsoring this meet.

Bad news, looks like bringing the Susvara Unveiled isn't possible. Will bring an Austrian Audio Composer that should be arriving soon. Reached out to my local rep to see if he has a unit to bring.

Thanks for trying, Alan! Still will be nice to have the Composer there, too.

I'll bring a Gustard A26 and the Luxman amp. I think I have a spare macbook I can bring to run qobuz or something off of. Hope there is wifi!

 

[Hiyono]

Excited to see everyone tomorrow.

I’m bringing a pack of 12x coke and 12x sprite. And 2 pizza.

 

[theveterans]

I’ll bring a bag of tortilla chips + dipping sauce

 

[Hiyono]

Don’t forget extension cords

Quick reminder. Let me add dacs to the list.

 

[miceblue]

I can bring 85C pastries today along with an extension cord.

I'll bring a Clear (original) to sell if anyone is interested in it. I've been using the LCX-X (which I'll bring too) and SR-404 more these days.

I'll bring a FIIO BTR15 as that's been my on-the-go go-to device these days with my UERR.

If anyone has a source, I can bring the STAX setup with the SRM-353X, but otherwise it's a pain to transport that amp.

 

[Aetherhole]

Bringing a couple of bags of flaming hot chip bags and a thing of Oreos. See you all soon!

 

[QuantumQ]

Really had a blast at the meetup!!! So really greatful to meet and chat with everyone. So many outstanding systems, omg. I think we entered endgame territory once the mixing and matching started! lol. Thank you so very much @Hiyono for organizing this and a big thank you to Card Arena for the hospitality!

 

[Aetherhole]

It was a BLAST yesterday. It was great to meet so many more people and great to see familiar faces. I brought my camera with the intention to take more pictures, but ended up not taking too many as I spent a lot more time listening to systems and hanging out with people. I wish we had more time, there was still so much listening to do. Here are just a few pictures from yesterday.

@QuantumQ Right?! As we started playing around and testing different component synergies that truly brought it to the next level! Being able to test the Immanis and Magna on multiple systems? Glorious.

Yes, @Hiyono thank you for organizing it and Card Arena for letting us use the space.

 

[akgb]

Had such a fun time yesterday, it was wonderful to meet everyone. Thanks to Hiyono for organizing, Card Arena for hosting and Effect Audio for sponsoring. A big thanks to Danny for bringing the RAAL Imannis and Magna. Both were excellent. It especially got interesting toward the end when trying them out on some other set ups. I felt they really started to come alive.
