    I don't mind hosting. I don't have an epic HT room or anything. Just a den, living room, and a bedroom i dedicate to HT

    Yeah, sounds like a blast. Hopefully, I won't get stuck with on-call on the same weekend again like I did last time.

    I'll bring my modded Empire and Aural Thrills phono stage. I could bring my PAS-3 too, but there's nothing really exceptional about it and there's likely to be better tube pres at any polk gathering....
    Turntable: Empire 208

    Sounds like a great idea. I am always down for a get together. Tunes and drinks are always a good mix. I am off the High Five. I also go to quite a few places in Addison of Tollway. Usually do Chaucers, Flying Saucer, Dueling Piano and Hookah's at Al Amir. Have not been in club scene for some short years now. Once this weather clears out, we should set a date. Hopefully not the first week of April as I will be out in the DC area.

    Cant wait for the LSIM's Russ!

    Off Topic: Oh yes, has anyone been to the underground places downtown? Nice experience too. So we have Downtown, Midtown, Uptown and literally underground.

    Since everyone drove out to my place last year, I can certainly head out to the other side of the city this year. Pick a date and I will do my best to be there. Can't commit for sure till I know the date due to work obligations.

    As far as equipment, I could bring out those Easy Pi speakers and my TVC (if there is any interest in hearing them). Both are pretty easy to transport. Might also have some music some of you aren't too familiar with.

    I know. But the chance of a gathering happening any closer is pretty slim. Beside that, I am recently single so I better take advantage of that fact while I can. :cool:

    No LSiM until the first week in May probably, it will be a push for LSAF, but we are booking the room anyway, just FYI.

    booo. So the weekend of April 15, 16, and 17 is all kosher for me. I've got tests, but can take them whenever. What do you guys think? Push back for LSiM? or go ahead and meet?

    If you guys want to go ahead, I'll do my best to get final prototypes in house. They are RIGHT on the edge of being released. I really want them at a local Texas PF before public, and will do everything in my power to make that happen. Just set the date, lets all show up, and leave the new gear to me, I'll get it done.

    If it's convenient and you don't mind, I don't see why not. It's always nice to be able to try different equipment out.
