I'll be there!

Massdrop Username = bloomphoto   Would love to see Mr. Speakers Ether on Massdrop. That is my current dream headphone.

I do really like my MD Pros. Would be interested in the Primes but even on sale they are $800 as opposed to about $600 for the EL-8s I am hoping that there will be some sweet deals available at the meet.  Dan from Mr. Speakers told me he won't be coming but they will be represented by SF Audio...

I was also interested in the Audeze closed back. I need a closed back set of balanced cans to listen to in bed so as not to disturb the significant other. I've really been into planar's since I got my Mad Dog Pros and He-400is. Leaning toward another pair of planar's.   I will be bringing a...

Looks like it is plug and play. Pull out the old controller and pop in the new one. Kingwa sent this photo. Controller goes in the red box.  

Good question. I sent an email to Audio-gd asking. I will post their response.

Sodaboy, I got the NFB-1amp and have not figured out how the display off works. Is it supposed to automatically go off upon power up if no buttons are touched? If so, mine doesn't do that. Outside of that it is functioning flawlessly and sounds wonderful both as a headphone amp with balanced...

Will Audeze be represented? Would like to hear the new EL8s.

I'll be there!

Being new to this, I originally wasn't planning on bringing any gear but am now thinking of bringing my Macbook along with an Audioquest Dragonfly (v.1.1) and perhaps BW P7s to use as a reference to compare to other set ups and also to compare different cans on my set up. 

I hope they come out. Would love to hear how planar magnetics (like the Mad Dogs) sound with the Pono Player.

Did anyone notify Pono to see if they would be willing to come by with a few prototype Pono players to demo? They are in SF. I would think they want good reviews and to spread their word on Head Fi. http://www.ponomusic.com/#home
