I've just been made aware of this on AVForums and I'll definatley be going.

The date is Saturday 7th November 2009 and it'll be at the Days Hotel in Manchester - There are currently 26 people confirmed as attending.

Link to the HF thread

This is a great chance for you to hear all sorts of high-end gear, theres a list in the OP of the head-fi thread but there will be 'phones such as the HD800 and Grado PS-1's.

Here's the kit list so far, there is some great gear to be listened to;

Awesome Mike, make sure you take pics and post impressions in a dedicated thread so I can link it in my sig

.

Enjoy yourself, meets are the best thing about this hobby imo.

If only Manchester wasn't so far away from Bath! I'll still try and make it though, need to see what my Uni timetable is like. Would love to hear your HD600's and Millet MiniMax. I'll bring the DacMagic along if I do go, and hopefully I'll have bought my starving student by then too!

I really hope you can make it, the venue is literally 2mins walk from the train station so it's really easy to get to and as I told you, you're welcome to stay over if you need to.

It couldn't be in a better place for me, just a 15 minute bus ride away

Will do!

The meet has been sponsered by HiFi Headphones, meaning that it's free for attendees and there will be some products to listen to courtesy of HiFi Headphones.

This is off-topic, but apparently I'm hosting a small meet tomorrow night at my apartment. Maybe I'll post some impression stuff to get you further geared up for your meet Mike

.

Btw, I just noticed that Duggeh will be at your meet. He is made of 110% pure awesome, if I were you I would definitely spend some time talking with him. Tell him Aura from HC says hi.

Lol, nah. Was just gonna do a speaker swap with Sherwood from HF and HC, but he's gonna be spending the night at my place so I decided to invite a lot more folks as well. So far only 1 has confirmed attendance, but it is extremely short notice so no worries if we just have a small gathering. I invited Matt (Azazel) from the Headphone Club, hopefully he can make it. OCN represent
