    Hey! The meet is still on and we need to get an idea of how many we should plan for. So far I have not heard from any local dealers about attending so this could just be hobbyists. I am sure that Purk has a handle on what's going on and I will be in touch with him shortly!

    Confirm on this website and I'll be able to get a count!

    I need a quick opinion. The Dunwoody North Driving Club (DNDC) has a number of round tables capable of seating 8-10 people in a banquet type situation. I had planned on renting a number of 6 foot by 30 inch rectangular tables for this event. However, some of us are thinking that the round tables would work. Does anyone have any experience in using these tables for a headphone meet? Do you have an opinion about using them? They are large and as many as two to three exhibitors might share one to show off their system. And, we have enough that we think the 5 or so vendors will be able to have one maybe two tables if necessary. Let me know your thoughts on this ASAP. If we can use the round tables, it will save us some money and aggravation!

    You can make it work with round tables just fine. We've had many mini meets utilizing office conference room tables where folks travel around the table perimeter to sample gear. It's a fine meet format, I think.

    Have a great meet, and looking forward to hearing about the first T4 sighting!

    Awesome, looking forward to it. I did get the ZMF Eikon in this week so I will definitely be bringing it as well as a few other headphones.

    A last minute reminder that while we will provide multiple AC sources, you will need to bring your own extension cords and power strips!

    Sorry for the late notice but I've come down with a sore throat and fever since yesterday and do not wish to share it with anyone. I will be keeping myself at home tomorrow but hope all of you have a great time.
