    Seriously. Make yourselves at home. There is lot of room. It's not CanJam with four hundred people packed like cows into small loud rooms.

    I hear tales of a layout diagram. This will certainly help inform what gear I want to check out, and what headphones I want to bring.

    @thegunner100 and I have extra room in our airbnb if anyone doesn't have a place yet. About 15 min away from meet, super cheap. Hit either of us up if interested, friends only please.

    Finally, some time to plan for the meet!

    I'm thinking of bringing:

    Beyerdynamic DT990 Premium (special sauce version because I could!!)
    HiFiMAN HE-5 (my spare pair, modded just for the heck of it while waiting for Luis to finish my Code-X)
    Schiit Wyrd (special sauce version as well)

    (something else?)

    Hi! Sorry to come in so late. Is there still another half table? I'm thinking about showcasing a little digital crossfeed system I put together, with my mid-tier HE400i and Modi/Magni 2U.

    I called to reserve a room last night, and they would reserve a room for Friday night, for Friday and Saturday, or for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, but not for Thursday and Friday. However, they said if I reserved for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday I could then call on Tuesday and cancel the Saturday portion. So just a fair warning that the Hilton is filling up, and that the people who run it are confused. This was speaking with someone who did not know what ZSG was, so a call on a weekday might clear this up.

    Interesting. I called and and tried to reserve a room for only Friday night, and they said $206/night. Did they tell you a different rate?

    So I can just go and find an empty table from 14-25? Do I need to register for general admission on EventBrite?

    Out of curiosity, is anyone bringing a Chord Dave? I know it is more of a hype-fi piece than something that'd be popular over here, but enough people have raved about the damn thing that I'd like to hear one for myself to determine if there is method to the madness.

    Call the number Marv provided until you get "Loretta" and you'll get $161 with the "ZSG" code.
