Are we gonna have any more meets? We used to have a spring and fall meet. We haven't had one in a year.
Is the interest level really that low? I was able to organize a mini-meet at my apartment a few months ago with 4 of us that I found through the headphones subreddit. I have no idea what the logistics are involved with securing space, but I imagine I can find a half dozen or so people alone that would be interested if we had a spring (or even summer?) meet. I will most likely be moving out of the Midwest during the end of summer so selfishly I'm hoping we can get something together before then.
As incentive, I've got lots of goodies to share including some newer released stuff like ZMF Auteur, ZMF Atticus, LCD2C, along with some interesting stuff like a couple of Stax setups. I also have some more popular headphones like HD800, HD6XX, Elear, and TH-X00. For source gear I have some cheaper stuff that I think many people are curious about like Mimby, R2R 11, NFB-11, Magni 3, and Valhalla 2. I'm down to bring any or all of it.
We do it big. The last one had probably 30 people.
Nice! Yeah I would expect a good size crowd. And I meant that I by myself could probably gather at least 5-10 people. So I'm not sure what type of numbers we would need to justify the work in putting a meet together, but I am pretty active in a lot of forums and I feel like finding enough people isn't a huge obstacle if there are others able to work out the logistics.
A requirement that everyone be active on Head-Fi seems odd to me. Wouldn't that prevent non-Head-Fi'ers from attending with their partner or friend? A meet is a great place to introduce someone to the hobby and give them a wide range of gear to demo at the same time. An inviting atmosphere is the best kind, and meets are amazing when everyone's relaxed and enjoying themselves.
