Really wish you hadn't extended that invitation...

Juzmister (and others) - would be great to have some Interconnects to compare.

Also, anyone got any gear that they can test cables with? I had a few made up (due to my lack of skills) and am unsure of their termination...

2 other points of note...

1st - the last meet highlighted the issue/need for powerboards. Can we get a few on the gear list to be sure?

2nd - What is the protocol for trying out IEMs (in terms of hygiene)? I'm happy to bring a few along, but am short on some tips, and to be frank, would rather not hand out a whole bunch over the course of the day (don't mean to be a scrooge, but the damn things cost so much!)

I'm going to bring my own tips, and I'll bring one powerboard (four slots in total) with me and some Headphile Silver RCA's

I am bringing my 7-way, and we will have around 6 power outlets for use, but definitely bring more if you can.

In regards to IEMs, what i've normally done in the past is bring a batch of alchohol swabs and clean them after each use. I can bring some again if people like, or we can use throw away foam tips.

as long as they bring their own eartips, i am more than happy to let ppl try out my westoned sf5ps, er6i, mylar XBs or beyer dtx50

interconnects?

i have a stevenkelby cryo LOD and a barqy spc LOD. to my ears, both of them sound different and people are more than welcome to compare

Any of you guys know how to bias tubes? I want to change the tubes across in my Millet, but don't have a voltmeter

I've been wondering if I should bring my MythTV backup drive which has nearly 300GB of (mostly) lossless rips on it. I'm not sure I can bring my work laptop, and I'd need a source that can read the Linux filesystem. Sounds like it could be useful. I should also be able to rustle up a powerboard or two...
