Down to come and can bring a couple things if we need some goodies to try. I'm located in South Bay, so anything in the area would work well for me.

 

[Audiowood]

I will try to make it. I can bring LCD X, Zana Duex SE, Q1PR etc.. No promise as I might be traveling out of CA in Nov, but since date is not fix yet,  I still have chance of making it.
 
Have anyone try the public library meeting rooms? they cost $35 for 4 hrs.

 

[greenkiwi]

Strong yes for me.
 
I'd be able to bring:
Geek Pulse Infinity (Chassis 2.0) and LPS
LCD-2 & XC
Little Dot MK VI
 
And some other things (though most people were interested in those last time.)

Wow the Zana Deux, IMO the 2nd best amp ever made - the stuff of audiophile dreams! I'd love to try that again and the LCD-X. Waiting for good news later this week hopefully! And anyone for any other ideas about "how to explain a Head-Fi meet to an outsider"?

 

[vocalstrance]

I told my fiance about the meet. She actually was excited and wants to go again after our first meet in south SF. I'm in +1.

 

[drfindley]

I can probably make it and I have a few toys I could bring. Is there a firm date?

Don't use the word "audiophile". Ever. Just say it's a bunch of people getting together to listen to music on really nice hifi stereo equipment.

I can also probably make it.

It's really a matter of individual preference whether one consider's themself to be an audiophile or not. I for one am, but I think what you're trying to say is to not call the group audiophiles as a whole, right?
 
For any of you that haven't been to a 'local' Head-Fi meet, basically what this means is that we are only an assortment of individual members, thus there are no official exhibitors so the more of your favorite headphones, DAC's, DAP's, amps, etc. each of us can bring, the better! And it doesn't have to be the TOTL expensive stuff to be good.
 
That would be marvelous if we can find a place for this meet by the end of this week - maybe make it a competition. Work that grapevine and you may just be surprised at what you can find through a friend of a friend - but for me, I'm still somewhat new to Calif. I'm sure we'll all be happy for any news on this! 

 

 

[gepardcv]

I'm saying that the word "audiophile" has negative associations for many people. When trying to sell the event, it's much healthier to discuss getting together to listen to music.

 

[Sable]

I will try to make it too, will know once we have date/location.

2. 2 Custom 600 ohm DT770 Pro Headsets (http://www.head-fi.org/t/638028/beyerdynamic-custom-one-pro-thread/30#post_11700843)

3. Beyerdynamic COP Headset Gear Custom One Pro Microphone Cable
4. A lacquered wooden omega shaped headphone stand that I personally gave a two tone finish

 
Just message me if you have a request for me to bring one of those accessories if you're interested. Also if you need any types of adapters, then I'm your guy! Just message me letting me know what kind of adapter you need to be able to adapt, so you can use otherwise unusable products at the meetup, and I'll let you know if I have and can bring one.

I'm really interested in hearing a Beyerdynamic DT-1350 and T51i, and Sennheiser HD25-1 II and on-ear Momentum 2.0 comparison. I really want to know how some of the best and best valued on-ears fair against each other. Since the DACs/amps are fairly mid tier I'd be very interested in hearing how some of the higher end ones sound. I'd also be pretty much be interested in trying out any high end headphones either again or for the first time.

 

[Packdemon]

  BTW, someone please bring an audio technica R70x 

The M70x would also be fairly interesting. I want to hear how well that M stands for monitoring.
