    Trick is to discreetly pre-arrange the payment part with the restaurant before or during dinner.

    Guys, Josh can give me a ride to the meet, but not back. Anyone okay to drop me off if I pay for your gas and toll? My place is right across the Lincoln tunnel.

    Hi all -- looking forward to tomorrow. Couple of favors to ask. Does @bozebuttons or anyone else have a 1/8" to RCA adapter I can borrow during the meet. I tried to buy one today with no luck. Also, if anyone has an extra power cord I can borrow (again just for the meet) that would be great so I don't have to pull out my whole entertainment unit to unplug the one for my Liquid Carbon.

    @Maxx134 , will you be (or can you) be bringing your modded Oppo PM-2. I would love to get another listen and compare against my stock PM-2.

    Finally, an IC to see if anyone is interested in my Cavalli Liquid Carbon. I am considering selling this summer but if someone is really interested I would probably be willing to sell now before I get a replacement amp just to avoid the hassle of an online sale. Given the price increase my plan would be to post on HF for my retail of $599, but if someone is interested I would do $550 for an SBAFer. Not ready to post in the For Sale here but if someone at the meet is potentially interested just PM me and I can bring the box and not just the amp. Alternatively, if people want to hear it and think about it I would be willing to do a limited "dibs" period with a meet-up in NYC later this summer.

    See you all tomorrow.

    I'll have extra power cables at the meet and I'll bring the adapter as well.

    Hey @sphinxvc, will the 25W with the J2 be enough for the LS50's or should I plan on bringing my Ragnarok along?

    My virtue one.3 is only about 27.5w into 8ohms. and gets more than loud enough in my room with the OSMT. The living room at meet is going to be a lot bigger though. Either way, we'll have the Odyssey for backup.

    Ill see you all tomorrow!

    It should be enough, provided we use some kind of active pre-amp with gain. The Odyssey will be there as well. It would be nice to have the Ragnarok to compare with during speaker testing.

    I'm excited to hear the J2 paired with Yggdrasil.

    (Also, based on what I've heard thus far, not sure I'll be selling the Odyssey after all - we'll see.)

    I'm still on my way, it'll probably take me about half an hour from here to get there.

    I'm bringing my laptop and the most basic form of my measurement rig.

    I think I am missing a power cable, but it's not the end of the world.

    I am missing a pair of rcas. They're black, nothing special. Sphinx, you lent me a power cable so that may be it.
