    You're most welcome! Once we get a few people interested we can start talking about dates and a location that works for everyone.

    Sadly there wasn't a big HF Austin meet this year, the 2016 one looked fun

    Random Austinite checking in - availability is all over the map with me as is what I have at any given time, but I'd be interested in trying to make it to a shindig.

    Hey all. I can host if anyone wants. I'm in South Austin. I can offer a Yggdrasil, Black Widow, Ragnarok, Bottlehead Mainline, HD800 (as of yet unmodded), HD800S, HE-560, and fully modded HD650. I recently combined my two systems into one larger system, so in addition to headphones I have Magnepan speakers set up and a decent turntable, and as far as digital sources I have CD and Tidal Masters/Hifi into Yggdrasil. All can feel free to bring any sort of gear, I'd love to hear any and everything you've got.

    Have a stock HD800 + BW2 as well, but I can bring a Liquid Carbon and HD700 to add some variety

    @Erroneous I can offer a Gungnir Multibit and Modi Multibit if anyone's interested in a schiit multibit shootout :)

    Austin's not a bad ride from Houston. Depending on dates I'd be down for making the trip.

    If I'm able to make it I can bring my iFi Pro iCan, Gungnir Multibit, LH Labs GO (720), ZMF Eikon (Padauk), HD800 (stock), Empire Ears Zeus-R, Noble X, Campfire Jupiter, MEE Pinnacle P1.

    If I'm not able to make it I can loan some gear to a friend for the cost of return shipping. (pls not Zeus, it's our honeymoon)

    Everybody bring all your gear, there is a lot listed here that I'd love to hear, and I imagine the others interested in an Austin meet would agree. All are welcome to come if you guys would like to meet at my place.
    Is there a way to hot-transfer the Gungnir Multibit and Modi Multibit for the Schiit shootout? Anyone have a Bifrost Multibit to bring? I've been hoping to hear a Mjolnir2 as well if anyone has one lying around.

    Let's put our heads (and schedules) together and make this happen.

    I'd also be happy to visit from Houston I can bring a Gungnir Multibit, maxed ECP T3, HD800, HD650, HE-6 and some class D speaker amps if any gear is needed.

    I'd love to hear the T3, and the HD700, and the HE-6, and the Liquid Carbon, and the, well, you get the picture. I just like hearing new gear.

    If this happens at a time when I can make it then I am bringing a bunch of CD's to give away. I can't take 'em with me overseas and I don't really want to sell them for money since I've ripped a bunch digitally.

    I'm away the weekends of the 15th and 22nd of July but am game to host any other weekend that works for everyone, or can bring gear if people would rather meet elsewhere in Austin. @ColtMrFire will you be around? @jexby you coming in to Austin anytime soon?

    @DigMe great offer! That sounds awesome. I just got back into CDs after years and years without, I'd love to thumb through what you have.

    @Erroneous - since you are willing to host then why don't you come up with a couple of dates and we can poll everyone on which is best?

    A lot of days in July are out for me.
    I think I can do June 24, July 1, July 15 (though 15th is out for you). Maybe 29th. Might still be in Colorado. I'll have to ask my wife.

    We could always look at septembernif everyone's busy with summer vacations.

    I'm out of town the weekend of June 24th as well, but September also works well if folks can't do the July dates we have available.

    Sundays in general are likely best, as many in the US have off on Sundays and attendees are likely to be coming from within a few hours away. If out of towners want to come in on a Saturday, perhaps we could have a Saturday evening meet, then do a proper meet on Sunday as well.

    Sunday July 2nd, 9th, or 30th would work well for me. Hopefully these will work well for others too. Saturday evenings before each of those dates work well too.

    I should be free anytime in July aside from the weekend of the 22nd. The remainder of June is booked for me.
