Everyone is welcome to bring additional gear and cables to compare after the main events are concluded. This can sometimes be the most enlightening part of the session. But keep in mind that there is no guarantee that your equipment or cables will be auditioned. Please don't be offended, it is just a time constraint dictates we do things this way.

Mike, do you mean to say Sony SCD-XA9000ES (otherwise, what IS XACD9000ES?)

Hello! I almost missed this great meeting.

I'd like to come, too, although there's a possibility of a schedule conflict.
I won't bring any hardware but will bring some software.

And this time, I won't leave early.

Thanks for hosting, Mike.

Yes, whatever. I always get the name confused. It has been "K2'd" by Kryophysics as well. You can ask Craig Goff (the owner of Kryophysics) about the process as he will be there.
