There will be absolutely no underage drinking at this or any other event organized by me. Seriously though guys, this is a HEADPHONE meet, not a kegger, lets stay on track.
I wasn't speaking for myself, it was merely a joke for the 18 year-old fellow who was worried about being out of place. I'm trying to lighten things up so that he knows he's in good company
i just registerd today here.and was just searching for toronto and bumped into this thread,i was wondering if i could participate in this meet up as i am planing to make some future purchases and would be a great way to get to know certain headphones ...and at the same time to meet up a few fellow enthusiasts . its a wonderful job you are doing by organizing this
i could bring my Stanton Dynaphase fifty\s and Sennheiser HD420 sl's with me
The building security will probably not like me much after this event.
Canuck57 - Please bring the DX1000, they're always an awesome phone to have. The Darths are always a treat as well (I think I've owned like 6 different ones so far, they're just too fun). Of course anything and everything else is welcome, but I'd love to get to hear those 2 the most.
Hey Paval – I’m quite looking forward to the meet … but, if I may make a suggestion, and also voice my qualms and queries after reading some recent posts. First – a suggestion. How about a mandatory entrance requirement – that all attendees get a picture taken while wearing the infamous Jedklin floats. Hopefully we’ll have a couple of meet photographers, after all, our fellow Head-Fi guys and gals deserve such a visual treat in the meets/get togethers thread.
And now on to my qualms and queries.
Fourteen years of age?? Not being a prude, but I’m like 4 times that, and I teach that age group, yada yada yada, and just hope we’re not going to end up devolving into a Skullcandy jamboree.
Kegger? Booze fest? ….. Now I most certainly wouldn’t pass on a Chivas neat, but come on, I hope that this isn’t viewed as an excuse to get hammered on a Saturday afternoon - it’s a headphone meet! There’s going to be thousands of dollars of high end gear, a time for an aural odyssey not befuddled inebriation.
Quite looking forward to a venerable venue!
On a more direct note - how are we shaping up in terms of sources /amplification etc. etc. Are we going to have enough gear there to set up an Orthodynamic table, a dedicated Stax area, IEM's, etc etc
In additon to a few of my headphones should I be bringing my T1, KH 1000 and other Schitt ?

Great thanks, I'm REALLY anxious to hear the HP-2s! I'll bring the DX1000 & Darths for sure, probably my LD MK VI+, HE5, T1, CD3000 (stock & Headphile) and have Glenfiditch 18 & Lagavulin 16 for tasting!
I'll donate towards the cause. I think we should all pay the host $10, whatever, to cover the cost of the meet!
charliex : Your concerns are duly noted, I have updated the first post to stress some things. A photography reminder is great, thanks! So far we're might still be a little thin on sources (as usual with most meets ), but it's not unreasonable, though some splitters would be nice as well.
Canuck57 : I have had great past experience with the raffles, if everybody goes with at least 1-2 tickets, room should be covered, of course it's quite common for some like to have a better chance to win and get 4 tickets
Notices
I have not had any problems with having a small bar at the meets before, I hope that this trend will continue. This is after all a privately organized headphone meet, not an open to everybody bar. There will be security at the door, you will have to sign in, you are expected to wear a name tag with forum and real name. As a general rule regarding drinks, obviously don't create any possibility of having it spill or leave it anywhere.
We have quite a collection of gear set up so far, I'm not sure whether we want to split it up by category (or have enough for that), but for those who have a lot of gear to set up, please come early (at noon would be great), to set up, there is somewhat limited table space.
I would like to come, but would only be able to show up at around 430 due to other stuff i have to attent. Would this be ok or should i wait till the next meet?

Charliex, I fully appreciate your concern but can't help but feel a little offended; I've been a fellow head-fier for over a year and a half now. I'm very well-versed in the ways of our community and would consider myself a serious listener with a critical ear. Up until about a week ago, I had invested around $1400 into my headphone rig (HiFiMAN 602, Grado HF2, RSA P-51 Mustang). All on a $10 weekly allowance
While that's a bit of a digression, rest assured that I will do my best to ensure that my contributions to the meet will only be positive.
We have to officially end the meet before 6pm (I can only book the party room for 6 hours) so reasonably you'd have an hour or so before we have to wrap things up.
I don't know how full we're getting, but I think a friend of mine wants to attend. I'm not sure if he has any gear to share anymore, but he has been interested in hi-fi longer than I have. If we'll have room for him I'll bring him.
