@mikemercer I'm building a special playlist just for you! Patrcia Barber, Diana Krall, Keith Don't Go, and for the finale, the f#%&ing Firebird!

 

[Dean Seislove]

I'll be there. In addition to the headphonominal stuff, I'll be hosting the LAOCAS hospitality suite Saturday morning (Hilton 831). Stop by to relax (your ears), refresh (with a cold drink), and recharge (you smart phone or tablet).

I'll also be spinning multi-channel sets in the Zu Audio room throughout the show.

Warren, I forgot to mention I'm having a show special also... the Bravissimo is $700 (regular price $800). Price is good for two weeks past the show in case I can't fill all the orders.

I'm going to personally distribute my karaoke performance of those stale show staples in all formats and at every sample/bit rate!

GREAT Gary!!
Psyched you're gonna be able to make it out!
IF you're coming in early enough - we're having our Head-FIers breakfast (don't know when you're coming in of course) but here are the details:
 
Semi-Private Head-Fier's Breakfast
 
Date & Time:  Saturday, May 31st, 2014 @ 8:30a ~ 10:00a
Location:  Waterfalls Restaurant @ The Atrium Hotel
 
Hey, we all gotta eat right?  Might as well hang-out... grab some grub together... talk about music... catch up on what we've heard at T.H.E. Headphonium... and chill with manufacturers away from the hustle and bustle of the show floor!  

 
 
And of course, this will probably turn into an ad-hoc mini meet as we whip out our portable rigs.  

  Once the breakfast is over, we'll all head on over to T.H.E. Headphonium together!
 
Please post in the thread if you would like to join us, that way we can get some kind of reservation going on to make sure everyone's got a seat at the table.  Here's who we've got so far:

I've been blown away by the ADL X1 this week!!!! I'm SO glad Raymond and I got a chance to catch-up on the phone,
it made me pull the thing out and mess with different combinations - I'm bringin' it for sure:
 

 

 
BOTH my Sennheiser Momentums and HD7s are wired w/ @scootermafia's  Double Helix Cables!
Molecule SE w/ Fusion on the Momentums
Molecule Elite on the HD7s!

I'll be taking this:
 

 
And I'll also have a Beyerdynamic T51i (because it's more compact and sounds really good) as well as a UERM because that's the best neutral reference that I know of.
