    Whiskey's for drinking, cherry coke is for spilling into empty headphone cases. Both traditions withstand.

    I guess I can bring the Black Widow.

    And the Gungnir MB A2.

    I'll bring an RCA splitter as well as my laptop. Anyone else bring a music laptop as well if you can.

    If there's issues with food, there is a Trader Joe's about a mile or so from his place.

    @netforce Any chance you can bring a pair of LCD-1 from the store?

    I can certainly try. Audeze thinks they are a few weeks out from delivering most units but are trying to drop off a pair when they visit the store.

    Happy to bring a BAT VK-3000SE integrated amp if you still need something reasonably powerful (150W into 8ohms) to drive those RAAL headphones.

    I'm taken aback by the generosity shown with all of you volunteering to bring gear, but I will have to note that there might not be room to setup absolutely everything (edit: forgot about extra table, so most things should have a space).

    And I said this already, but seriously, don't forget to bring power strips and extensions!

    How much room do you have to spare, a large table top and some counter space? :)

    Table is somewhat larger than the one at Marv's, but the TV countertop is small. What I did forget when I posted earlier is that I do have another foldable table we can use; only downside being that the table is made for sitting on the floor. I think we can squeeze in most things, maybe all if we're good with amp Tetris.

    edited my post on page 2 but should probably post here to for visibility - does anyone have a good XLR cable for Focal Clear (to use with 3F)? If not no big I'll bring factory one.

    Stock cable it is. I'm still 50/50 on bringing Stellaris - I'd love to share, but it's big / heavy / inconvenient / hardly fits into my small car trunk opening when in box (and Donald just had Stellaris and Starlett at last meet).

    Audeze came by last week, asked if I could get a pair of the LCD-1 for the meet. They asked if I could try back sometime this week.

    Good news though, called and was talking to Danny from Raal. He is going to try and send out the prototype Schiit Jot R for the event. Should have it ideally by this Friday.

    I can make the meet and being SR1a and Jot R. BTW, the Jot R technically does not exist.

    Do we have a ZMF Verite Closed? If not, recall the loaner temporarily for this meet.

    I will bring ZMF Verite and Nips.

    Actually, we're cool with talking about the Jotunheim R. It's not like it affects sales of any of our products, or any of anyone else's products, since it's the only ribbon direct-drive amp in the world. And, with any luck, we'll be shipping in December.

    (Cue Marv laughing.)

    I think @I_want_all_the_tacos is bringing his review unit.

    I just noticed this event has more than a decent amount of interest.

    Just saw this.
    Hope it’s not too late to join?

    I could bring a Metrum Jade + Ambre, if we can set up a Roon network somehow (or I’ll bring a laptop).
