    No problem. That's a lot of speakers! I'm excited to hear the BMR, I've heard a lot of good things about them.

    Unfortunately the BMRs don't work well in Hooncake's house. His room has a peak at 70hz no matter where the speakers are placed in the room. Because the BMRs have such good bass extension, you end up feeling the subbass but not actually hearing it due to the room modes. It's pretty weird.

    Update guys,
    After hearing bozebuttons HEK V2 I decided to upgrade mine before the Hifiman upgrade deadline in two more days.

    I found the signature more to my liking as it was juicer and more lively.

    I would probably recommend V1 for SS gear and V2 for tube gear,
    Because with V2 the HEK is no longer a laid back can. ..
    I can discuss differences in detail in the HEK threads.

    Anyways, that means I won't have a HEK in time of meet.
    Still have other cans.

    Is there any interest in the Noble Katana? @Kunlun can't make it to the meet but offered for me to pick them up if anyone wants to listen.

    I'm definitely interested in hearing it.

    Sad to hear Kunlun can't make it.

    Totally, and not to mention the awesome NYC crew. I'm getting back to NYC from Turkey day Sat. afternoon. I'm listening to the Vega and it's worth hearing, looking good forward to the lyra2 and Dorado!

    Update, I'm bringing: First Watt F3 (somebody please bring pig tails), Campfire Audio Vega, Dorado, Lyra II. Also arranged for Colgin to have/bring Utopias. I was thinking of bringing my Devore, but we'll see how lazy I'm feeling, they're big.

    Btw, please update the Utopia loaner thread, I noticed a number of you want in on the Rd. 2 loaner.

    Can we figure out the logistics situation for people coming in from Manhattan? Maybe you guys can try to meet up or Uber together. Some of you are bringing expensive gear, so be safe.

    You guys can take the 5 train and then I can pick you guys up from the station by car if you have heavy or expensive gear. Otherwise the walk from the station is about 15m. I will be sending out PMs with the address soon.

    I'm thinking I'll bring Elear, HD800S, Andromeda, Vega. Any amps/dacs that anyone is interested in? I can bring Yggdrasil, rag, jotunheim w/ dac, modi mb, vali 2 w/ amperex 7308, torpedo, crack, GOv2+, Leckerton, etc. upon request.

    Might bring my Adam F5's and Jotunheim so we can compare to the OSMT (assuming there's going to be room).

    I'll bring my 4-pin xlr to banana plugs adapter. Send me a text in the morning to remind me, just in case I forget.

    @Hooncake Can I claim your Yggdrasil/lynx aes16 for my Sonett 2 and the Zana Deux Micro?
