It is now confirmed that Linear Tube Audio will also be in room 208 with Vapor Audio speakers and a Resonessence Invicta Mirus DAC. If anyone wants to hear the MicroZOTL2 as a preamp or one of our power amps, come on up and check the room out after visiting our headphone-centric booth. 

 

[Frank I]

Awesome! I will get around while I am there for sure. Glad we were able to get the ballroom sold out.

This will be my 3rd Newport show and the first at the Irvine hotel. Looking forward to coming this year since I'm driving and making a week long vacation out of the trip. Counting down the days. Is there a head-fi breakfast this year or get togethers? 

 

[Netforce]

Last year it was a few of us grabbing dinner and hanging out after the event was over. Usually wasn't a planned thing or I just always woke up too late for breakfast 

 

[Frank I]

Only  a week away!

Darin Fong Audio will have a booth there showing our Out Of Your Head software.
Come by the Marketplace, booth M04.
 
We will have our show specials going and possibly even a new technology demo, fingers crossed.
 
We will have a huge variety of headphones including Stax SR-009, Dharma 1000, Audio Zenith PMx2, HD800, etc.
 
Should be fun!

How out of place would a high school student be? Was hoping to see how the Ether/Ether C stacked up against my cans

Sweet! Plan on going on sunday. Will all the exhibitors be there for the full three days?

Most do, its not uncommon for buyers to come back Sunday and make a purchase.

Yes, for the most part. But some vendors will pack up on Sunday before the show officially closes. (People need to catch flights, get home before Monday, etc.)
 
So, on Sunday, I would recommend being there earlier in the day rather than wait until the end.

I worked as a vendor last year (am around my early 30's). Expect the average age to be around 40-50's, but you can be lucky and find people closer to your age, possibly at the headphones section (if it is outside again).

In addition to the big gathering of headphones and their related equipment in the Marketplace- first floor of the Hotel Irvine There is at least two rooms to absolutely visit on the Hotel's upper floor. 
 
Rooms 1302 and 1304 are being run by The Source AV out of Torrance, Calif. They have really embraced the headphone community during the last year. In the rooms will be Astell -Kern, Cavalli, Questyle, Wo Audio, Mr. Speakers, Enigmacoustics and lots more.
 
So after seeing all the new stuff in the exciting but noisy Marketplace, head up to room 1302 and 1304 to do some serious listening and get a chance to sit for a bit.
