Everyone,
I was coming here to update the thread with the latest updated details................ but it appears I completely forgot to post an original announcement here!
Sorry for the short notice in case you haven't seen me advertising this on other sites like head-fi, AN, etc.
Anyways, you can see the thread on head-fi.org here:

In addition to a number of Mr. Speakers and other vintage headphones that will be coming with attendees, I will have the following headphones available:

I figure the headphones can float around to various stations with cables being swapped as necessary where balanced connections versus 1/4" jacks are offered. I'll put some out at each station to begin, but they will likely shift around.
Anyone who brings stuff along, we'll figure out the best way to integrate it into a specific station to make it all work together...
Let me know if there are any questions about any of this. If you would like to attend, please PM me here, or send me an email to sales at nightanddayaudio dot com to RSVP. Thanks!
