Headphoneus Supremus
Hello Head-Fi Friends,
@kilkil generously posed the idea to hold a meet at his home!
Here are the details from Tom:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Date/Time: October 14th, 10am - ?
Location: 1847 Puckett Point Rd, Smithville, TN 37166 (about an hour east of Nashville, TN)
Best approach: I-40 to Exit #273 that is TN56 South. Cross the bridge, then Pucket Point Rd will be on your left.
Tom's house is a ways down Puckett Point Rd, on the left side.
Parking: The house is on the left side of the road with a driveway that can hold 4 cars (2 must be compact). Across the street there is a light blue garage, that is also mine, it has another 6-8 parking spaces, plus parking on grass as needed.
Food: I'll have something to eat, not sure what yet (possibly chili if cold outside, or grill something if it is warmer out). It's OK to bring food and drinks to share, as long as you keep them separate from the electronic gear.
Beverage: Alcohol is allowed, even encouraged!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
How awesome for Tom to invite us to his home!
Post the gear you will bring, and I will post it here for all to see.
Here's the link to the impressions from our last meet in Spring, 2016:

Looking forward to see everyone again!

RCBinTN:
Headphones: HD800, LCD-X, Ether Flow
Sources: Macbook Pro/JR22, AK240, GMB with Gen 5 USB
Amps: Bryston BHA-1, Oppo HA-2
Lagniappe: Various Wywires Platinum cables
Reddog (hopeful):
- Will try to join, pending transportation from Sarasota, FL
Rmoody:
Headphones: MrSpeakers Ether C 1.1, Shure SE535, Shure SRH1540 (thinking of selling)
Sources: Dell Latitude Windows 10/Ubuntu dual boot with JRMC 23, Schiit Gungnir Multibit USB 5, Schiit Bifrost Multibit, Schiit Modi 2 Uber
Amps: Schiit Mjolnir 2, Schiit Asgard 2, Schiit Magni 2 Uber
Portable: Fiio X5iii, iBasso DX90
Disclaimer: I'll probably just bring the Gungnir/Mjolnir stack and my portable stuff. Rohan has my Bifrost and if he comes he'll bring his I'm sure, besides have to put the USB 2 board back in it. SWMBO has the Magni/Modi stack and Rohan has Modi Multibit, again if he comes.
MattTCG (interested):
Headphones: Aeon, hd650, hd800, and (a headphone that has not been announced yet so I'd need permission to bring it)...wow, folks!
Source: Mimby/EITR
Amps: ampsandsound Kenzie with some nice NOS tubes, Magni 3
Pippen99:
Amps: Woo WA5, Cavalli Liquid Gold
Sources: PS Audio Directstream DAC with Bridge II network card
Headphones: Audeze LCD-4 with DHC Prion4 cable
Notes:
1) The Bridge network card requires an Ethernet hookup. Will this be possible? If not I will bring an Auralic Aries Mini streamer.
2) If space is a consideration, one of the amps can stay home. Let me know which one would you all like to hear the most.
Dillan:
Headphones: LCD-4, HD800S, spirit labs twin pulse Ragnar, Grado RS 2e, SR 225e, Dolce & Gabbana, GH1 and GH2
Amps: Angstrom audio Stella, Ragnarok

Cables: Corona power cables
Pinkdan:
Amp: Schiit Magni 2
Headphones: Mr. Speakers Alpha Prime (XLR), Ath-ad900, Denon ah-d7000, SHP9500
==============================================================
Miscellaneous Comments:
Personally, I would like to bring the WA5 home with me...but either amp is great, @pippen99.
@rmoody , sadly no Burnley sightings yet. Will keep y'all posted.
I received a PM today (10/5) from Kevin @Wildcatsare1 and he might attend!
==============================================================
Alcohol / Incoming Libations:
A new sub-section for a meet thread...thanks to Tom!
Grappa, scotch, bourbon, moonshine what's your preference?
Perhaps some wine for the host and hostess!
I have some great Cachaca from Sao Paulo, if y'all are interested in a Caipirinha.
