Decided to get a thread going since I have heard through the grapevine people are planning on attending. I would like to see who is planning on going, so we can get some buzz going for Head-fi members.

I'll be there and I can't wait. I have already made a list of gear and companies I need to checkout: Hifi man, woo audio, Headamp, pass labs, etc.

I also enjoy discovering some new music at audio shows like Newport.

Will there be a headphonium this year? And where can I find a list of exhibitors?

I believe headphonium was Mike Mercers deal, the exhibitor list is the the link. I am hoping exhibitors post here so we can have some info for members.

Looks like they are sticking the headphones in the marketplace this year.

I never went inside the actual hotel last year. I went from the headphone area to the food truck area etc, some cars in between those 2. So I dont know where the marketplace even is, heh.

Is this the list of exhibitors?  If so, it doesn't include all the exhibitors mentioned in F14Sharky's post.  In particular, I don't see Hifiman or Woo Audio.  And I was really hoping to check out the Hifiman Edition X!

I think both were there last year, I know Hifi was for sure. I have been told the people in charge will be posting on head-fi. Not sure if they will be doing actual advertising or not, if so I use an adblock, so I wont see those.

Thanks!

Linear Tube Audio will be in the marketplace with some MicroZOTL2s, our ZMF&LTA Omni LE, and some Metrum Musette DACs, along with some headphone standards (AXPONA was fun, but our table was kind of a headphone testing table for a lot of people, more than a MicroZOTL2 listening table, which was fine) and possibly a surprise or two, but that's up to how things go in the workshop in the next month. We also may be in a room with our power amp, with the MicroZOTL2 doing preamp duty, but due to some craziness it's still up in the air. 
 
There really don't seem to be that many headphone-related companies exhibiting this year. I'm sure it will be a good show nonetheless - Chord is there, MrSpeakers, Cypher Labs, Audeze, Audioquest, Headamp. Manley has a booth in the headphone area; I'm excited to listen to their very interestingly designed headphone amp.

The front has thinned out more than the back, as far as I know, cant see the back and I am fine with that.

Really looking forward to my first The Show.

Anyone knows any of the Custom IEM brand will be there besides Noble Audio?
