I'm only going to be at the meet on Saturday, and as proved true in nearly every meet, you only get to really listen to a few things.

Things I don't want to miss:

The HeadRoom/Sennheiser room

Symth demo - I missed it last year by being either too busy or lazy to wait in line

Frank Cooter's creations whatever they may be

Ironbut's rig - I just loved it in Mayberry

New Shure headphones - just curious

909's rig - I've heard L3000 with that amp, curious about the source

jp11801's new toys

Since I'm not looking to get anything new this year (so I say now), I'm not going to be tempting myself too much.

What's on your lists of must hear?

Only thing I really want to spend much time with is a decent O2 rig. I will probably end up listening to a good bit more than that, but nothing specific.

I'm vaguely interested in the HD800s.

I want to check out $40 pinot.

I'm going to sit in the corner and mutter to myself.

so just like at home, then

HD800

O2+BHSE or whatever

Icarium's sources

Maybe some orthos

I want to check out $40 pinot.

I'm with Dan.

Vicariously:

HD800 (!)

Headroom amps

Frank Cooter's creations, whatever they may be

BHSE moar reactions

Woo Audio electrostatic amp

Not interested, even vicariously:

drinking

crucifixions

I'm looking to add some interesting new Bourbon's to my lifelist.

As far as headphones go:

I want to check out the HD800's

A quicky comparison of as many O2 amps as possible including the new Woo.

Compare the BA with 307A's and AD1's.

Listen to as many SACD sources as possible, hopefully a few with digital inputs.

Not interested, even vicariously:

drinking

crucifixions

You wouldn't have enjoyed the 2nd Century.

I'm with Dan and Naaman. Unlike all of you, I intend to listen to everything thereand no one leaves until I do.

Smyth research is on the top of my list. That may be the one thing I end up buying at the end of the year. I heard it last year but it is worth another wait in line, it is that good.

The HD800 with a Luxman, if possible. It is the only other thing I am considering purchasing this year.

BHSE and Woo stat amp with the O2 and Jade.

The new creations from Eddie Current.

OK my real list:

KGSS+ESP950/O2/Jade

BHSE+ESP950/O2/Jade

Woo+ESP950/O2/Jade

Everything dynamic + Qualias

BUDA+HD800s

GS-X + HD800s

Smyth Research Device even if I will likely never buy one since I would rather pay way more for a 8 channel AD/DA and do it myself.

Is anyone going to be running Foobar 2K? I'm thinking of bringing along my convolutions and the convolution plug-in on a memory stick. I figure there will be lots of HD650s around. (Smyth may not like this much, oh well).

Not in any real order but-

Justin's BHSE

Tyll's HD800 with whatever I can hook them up to

Whatever Craig brings, he never disappoints and always make me want his newest iteration

Frank's newest creation, always very impressive,

Blubliss' rig, I always enjoy the short time with them but this time I will be a little more selfish

The Smyth-Research system, it is just so impressive everyone needs to audition this system----but after I have had my turn

The Woo Audio latest, because I do not believe I have had any time with any of his amps so far

Lastly, the Audio gd amps and dacs

These are the first round but there are a number of small boutique builders and gear vendors attending with some really interesting gear worth checking out.

That may be the one thing I end up buying at the end of the year.

Vicariously:

HD800

Headroom stuff

O2/BHSE

L3000

crucifixions

Not interested, even vicariously:

drinking

Top of the list is the Balancing Act with the HD800s, The Woo amps are on the list, Smyth room as the table demo blew my head off at the last LA meet, Tyll's new dac...TBC

Those that are attending from out of town should be able to get a good preview listen Friday night during vendor set up.

We still have a few rabbits to pull out of our hats.

1. HD800 to see if I keep my preorder in or not.

2. Uh ...

3. See 2.

I'm there to spend time with friends. If I get to listen to lots of things (and I'll try), great. If not, no big deal.

guzzi, you want to try the $40 pinot! (that you're bringing)

I already know I don't want to listen to the Balancing Act, though I probably will. It already tempted me last two hearings. Combine that with the HD800s and I sure I'll be in trouble. I have nothing left to sell, and lord knows I can't afford another binge like what happened after last year's CanJam, though I regret nothing.

What kind of rabbits?

Those HD800 are dirty stinking whores with all the people who will be listening to them.

I hope you have all booked some time with them, if such a thing is possible......

I have to say, this sounds like a load of fun, but I'm not interested in any gear.

I want to vicariously check out drunk Jacob, Dan, and Nate.

I just found out that the pico slim will be present at CanJam. I will definitely be giving that a listen. Is it small enough to slip into my pocket with no one noticing?

I'm bringing my camera. Luckily, I take better pictures when I am drunk.

It is, in a word, tiny.
