I wasn't going to use this gathering as a storefront but since I do have quite a few things I no longer actively use, I should probably bring them in case anyone is interested. So if it's ok in addition to:
- Schiit Folkvangr
- Schiit Bifrost 2/64
- Schiit Midgard
- Sennheiser HD800S
- Audeze LCD-5
I will also bring the following which will be for sale:
- DCA Aeon 2 Noire
- Beyerdynamic DT880 600 ohm (should be fun to try with the Emotiva BasX-A100)
- Schiit Vali 2+
- Focal Arche DAC Amp (maybe)

Hello, super nooby here but looking to check out this event. Anything I should know before just showing up, do I need tickets etc?

 

[M3NTAL]

I wish I had the link to the standard M.O. - Usually just make sure to be cleanly, friendly and follow the same rules that would apply to each products manual. Ask the owner if you have questions or if you can bring/take your own equipment from each space.

For me - I always lower the volume to the bottom before I leave a station or remove a headphone from the amplifier.

No cologne, heavy conditioners, other hygienic considerations.

 

[funch]

What M3NTAL said. No tickets needed. See post #1.

I'm pretty broke right now because I just closed on my first pair of legit iems, they should be here Friday.
The Symphonium Crimson with upgraded eight wire cable!
I can bring them with me and the Questyle M15 to share/show since I wanna check out some other iems, DACs and Amps there too.

[Coolzo]

Added the SchiitKit details. Syn is the newcomer, Rag 2 returns which is cool. Sadly couldn't get a Lokius or Loki Max, or an Urd. Maybe next time? Anyway, looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday! Everyone is bringing something cool, by the looks of it
