FAQ
Do I have to bring gear?
Nope. You can just come to listen if you like. If this is your first time- let us know! The community is very welcoming and knowledgeable. Head-Fi meets are great events to try out gear and meet fellow enthusiasts- please just be mindful that you are using someone else’s expensive stuff (treat it carefully, be kind, and be aware of CORDS and CABLES.) Also of note: you are responsible for the gear and personal items you bring- keeping track of them and monitoring their use.
Is there an admission cost?
Free to enter and stay as long as you like.
What should I bring?
Power strips, any gear you are OK letting others audition, extension cords, your favorite shareable snack if you like. There is no alcohol allowed in the event space.
Will there be vendors there?
Yes. ZMF will have our line up on display and we are currently in phone-a-friend mode seeing who of our audio buddies are up for a meet. We will update the thread with a vendor list as that information is available.
Will there be things to buy?
ZMF will have a few things for sale and THERE WILL BE AN AWESOME RAFFLE! The raffle will help us recoup the cost of the space AND is a more equal opportunity way to walk away with some cool gear. Not sure what exactly will be up for raffle yet- but check back!
THE SPACE:
The Fulton Street Collective is a big artists’ collective building in the West Loop/West Town Area of Chicago http://www.fultonstreetcollective.com/. We will have long tables and chairs set out a la any meet you’ve ever been to before. PLEASE BYO extension cords. The building is very secure. When you get to the door you will be buzzed in by the dedicated event staff dude we had to hire. There is a gigantic (and very updated/non-spooky) elevator as you walk all the way in and to your right (there are stairs too.) The space is on the 3rd floor. We will have signage EVERYWHERE with this info so fear not. Photo shows the main room. There is also a smallish green room with couches, a coffee maker, microwave, and refrigerators. There are plenty of spaces for folks to duck out to for socializing without bugging the guy on an electrostatic setup.
THE AREA:
This area offers a TON of places to eat and hang if you want to make a real holiday out of your Sunday. You are local to all of the amazing restaurants on Randolph Street ( Green Street Smoked Meats, Little Goat, Au Cheval) breweries abound ( On Tour, Finch Beer, Goose Island) great coffee is a stone’s throw ( Intelligentsia, Metric, Sip) I could go on--- this is our old neighborhood, so if you want a recommendation, you know who to ask!
QUESTIONS:
Please feel free to ask me, Bevin, “Zach’s Wife” (but so much more!) any question you might have about the meet! Please send your q’s in the form of thread posts, PMs to me @BooUrns , or emails to my dedicated ZMF email: bevin@zmfheadphones.com (just to try to keep it separate from ZMF customer support and inquiry.)

Did Cincinnati get a Giordano's yet? If not, you can do what I normally do and bring home several frozen pies. That makes the trip even more worthwhile. Just think of it: returning home from Chicago after spending a day listening to a ton of great gear, and on top of that you have 6 frozen Chicago pizzas in tow. MmmMm. Of course, Gio's can't top Pequod's, but what can, really?
