    Any chance to have a quiet place or dedicated room for measurements ? I'll probably bring my rig if @3X0 accepts to let me approach his Orpheus and SR-Omega .

    hey folks, my Bottlehead Crack amp seems to have a slight hum. I think it sounds like a ground related hum, but I don't have enough experience. I've done all the standard stuff including reflowing all the joints, replacing the wire between the RCA jacks and the pot. replaced the pot with a blue velvet. tried the "poke it with a chop stick" method to see if any movement reduced the hum. I'm wondering if I bring it to the !CanJam if anyone could give it a look and make suggestions? I'm not thinking of bringing it to the floor, but I'll be flying in Friday night ~7:30, and could hang out then.

    Either way, I'm hoping to hang out with folks Friday night. If anyone is interested in listing to any of my headphones, please let me know and I'll bring those.

    Had a similar problem with my crack 2, @AllanMarcus. What fixed it for me was swapping in different tubes. Have you tried that yet?

    t turned out my driver tube had been damaged in transit to/from a meet.

    Yep, I'm using non-stock tubes. I don't want to derail this thread, so if anyone has advice, please start a private conversation with me. Thanks.

    so, to clarify, I'm not looking for suggestions on how to resolve the issue. I've already posted on other forums and tried many things. I'm wondering if anyone at !CanJam would be willing to spend a few minutes playing with my Crack :) that might be able to offer ideas based on what is heard.

    I want to (plan to) be there. Not sure how these private event work. Do I need to request an invite?

    Does anyone have any experience flying in with gear? I am highly interested in coming and will have some gear to bring by that time.

    See Marvey's post below

    I carry it on. If you check it, make sure it's packed well. Also not that regular lost/damage luggage coverage from the airline may not cover it. You home insurance or credit card you used for your ticket might. You might want to look into that.

    I need a little favor. Can someone write up a comprehensive doodle on the meet. I'm getting crushed right now from all directions with this site, Pokemon Go with my kids, and getting a lot of stuff done for my real job before I go on vacation Friday.

    Need to cover a few points:
    1. Bring your gear if you can. This is NOT CanJam, so the show relies on hobbyists bringing their stuff. Even modest stuff... Something about how important is this is b/c it ain't a trade show. I think it will be pretty special because all we've had in terms of large meets in the past few years have been trade shows were normal people can't afford anything.
    2. If you can't, just drop by. Everyone is welcome. Just make you get an EventBrite ticket (I'm setting this up now). Want to emphasize really how nice we are in person. Want to make sure people feel comfortable and don't feel intimidated going to these types of events.
    3. Time is from 9:30am to 5:00pm. Include date, location, details, etc.
    4. Details on Hotel discounts. See above somewhere.
    5. Parking fee. The price shown is the validated ticket price.
    6. Any other thing I can think of.
    This is basically for the EventBrite thing.

    P.S. I don't know where people were getting this idea that we were calling this event CanJam. I thought we were still deciding what to call it with !CanJam as a possibility. (The ! operator means NOT, maybe that's where the confusion from non-technical people came from.) But now that I think of it, maybe we should call it CanJam.

    Have you ever wanted to meet all these weird people on this website? Have you ever wanted to rub your face on equipment setups that cost as much as a used car? Do you have equipment that costs more than a new car and want to show it off? Come on down to the SUPERBEST AUDIOFRIENDS INTERNATIONAL MEET! Get your ticket from this website here that you are currently viewing and fly/drive/walk/crawl your way on over to the Hilton LAX on Saturday November 5th from 9:30am to 5:00pm. Parking costs 15 dollarydoos and you can also get some sweet discounts on rooms if you book with the Hilton using the “ZSG” catering discount code! You can call and reserve a room at 310-410-6147. We will be in (replace this with location inside the hotel)! So please stop on by and have a fantastic time. REMEMBER THAT THIS ISN'T SOME FANCY VENDOR SPONSORED EVENT! WE NEED YOUR FLIPPIN SWEET SETUPS TO SHOW OFF TO HAVE A GOOD TIME! EVEN IF IT'S CHEAP, BRING IT! NOT EVERYONE IS A MILLIONAIRE!

    Is this something you were looking for?

    I wouldn't call it camjam, !canjam, or whatever with canjam.

    It deserves it' own name, something more distinct :D

    Do you have equipment that costs less than a decent meal out for the family, but sounds great: show that off too! And hey, got equipment that costs more than a new Mercedes? Nobody gets excluded here.

    By the way... on the formal side of things, there probably should be some sort of liability disclaimer.

    Wish I could be there; but it's a very, very long way away.

    "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." -someone probably

    This is an amazing opportunity to meet a lot of the weirdos on this site in one place at one time. Sometimes you just have to take the risk.

    I agree, but no one's come up with a moar awesome name. Besides, I know the use of the CanJam moniker (which was actually coined by folks for a meet in the South) annoys the heck out of someone.
