    I've never seen any vinyl at the Frisco location, but it's been about a month since I've been in.

    I don't know.. I haven't lived in the dallas area, in awhile, but the Recordstoreday website says they are participating, so i guess we'll see.. I plan on giving them a call tomorrow to see which would be the better place to check out anyway.. Those two are the closest to where i'm staying.. if they don't sound promising i'll have to find someplace a little farther out

    Krystal Clear Audio/Video is by appointment only.

    Is this a fairly new policy? When I went LSAF a couple of years ago I stopped in and they were friendly and glad to audition the Totem line for me.

    U missed it, but I already said I will Bring a pasta salad. BTW... I'm bringing speakers & a sub. Should I bring connecting wires? Or U set up for Plug & play? Same for the WD TV, U have an open HDMI port? Maybe a cable hanging there to plug into? U have a receiver or Pre/Pro that routes HDMI to the TV & amp as needed?

    I'd bring some cables. I don't really have any extra wiring. In my HT setup, I have 3 open HDMIs so we're all set there.

    YESSSSSS I wanna hear that Camaro!

    I'm about to run to the store and grab all of the goodies we'll need. If we need anything, there are stores nearby so I'm not too worried if I screw something up.

    I'm hoping (but doubtful) that I can get the spiders on these RT5s glued down so we can play with those tomorrow too.

    Just to make sure we've got all of our bases covered, I've got burgers and sodas, as well as some chips. All I've really got in the line of spare speaker cable is some Monster XP, so if a couple of you have some speaker cables you wanna bring, that'd be sweet, plus it'd be sweet to do a shootout of sorts. Also, I can dig up some spare speaker stands too if needed. I've got an equipment table and some chairs. Is there anything I'm missing?

    And my apologies for whenever we listen to my LSi HT: the room's not really setup to accomodate a lot of people (it's just a bedroom...), but we'll have plenty of space in the living room, which is where I anticipate us spending most of our time.

    I can't wait to see you guys. Give me a shout on my cell if you've got any questions.

    Russ and Skip: You guys still interested in the LSi15 drivers (Russ) and the subwoofer (Skip)? If so, I can bring them if I'm able to make it tomorrow. If I do, it will be sometime tomorrow afternoon.

    You leaving the P5's at my house?

    Sure bring the drivers, sounds like a gear overflow already. I might not bring anything gear wise.

    Not going to be able to bring the easy as Pi's as I have to work a bit in the am. I could still bring the TVC if there is any interest.

    Planning on being there mid afternoon or so. Looking forward to meeting some new polkies and seeing the ones I have already met.

    Got a ride in the morning. Be over after that. Probably 2-3. I'll bring the PAS, Empire, Aural Thrills phono stage, CRS+'s, and some interesting DIY cables.

    Russ, if you can bring a tube amp, that would be most excellent. Really want to hear the CRS+'s through some other amps.

    Looking forward to seeing everyone.
