Does anyone been to Lee's house know if parking is convenient near there? How many cars can park there? thanks.

Yep...plenty of street parking.

Anyone who has 4-pin balanced cables fir their cans should bring them...I just opened a rare treat from Red Wine Audio...a prototype of their upcoming BALANCED Isabella DAC/HPA!

I also got 2 boxes from Woo Audio yesterday...a WA6 with Teflon adaptor and tube as well as a WA2.

That's in addition to the HifiMan HE-4's and HE-500's.

Sorry...I have the opposite. From 4-pin to dual 3-pin.

Cool Ari! Thanks!

Oh man, thanks for the catching that.  It has WON a few competitions.  My brain is so very fried from finals.
 
Thanks for the compliments NG.  At least this time the temperature won't be in the mid 90's like it was at the Jersey meet last summer.

And extension cords! Don't forget all your interconnects and power cords.
Another tip, Lee has mentioned that space is tight. That could mean you might have to stack components. I use hard cover books between each component to isolate them so they can sound their best. I'm sure if you look around you can find something. I know meet conditions aren't always ideal for listening but properly setting everything up can still make a difference.

I'd also like to remind everyone to please make sure that the volume knob is turned all the way down and/or the music is on pause before unplugging all headphones from a(n) amp(s). It's just a precaution as there have been several blown amps in the past at Head-Fi meets. Also, be kind and turn down the volume after listening. Some people listen at different levels than others.

I might suggest everyone post a placard on their amps as a reminder.

Thanks again Lee for all the work.

Another nice thing to do is to make a sheet of paper with your component list so people will know what they are listening to.

Nice tip Baka (have your laugh again). Placing placards would be good for any meet newbies.
