The Monkey Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 Going to meets and packing up all my gear is a pain. And now with CanJam, it may limit what I bring. I was thinking of getting a Pelican case or two. Does anyone use them. Any other case suggestions? I don't want to use suitcases and cardboard boxes anymore. Quote
grawk Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 I'm having nate ship my amp down, and I'm shipping my denon down in advance. I don't know of any pelicans that are good enough for my needs... Quote
jp11801 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Posted March 29, 2008 I've been thinking about the anvil/calzone type case with removable foam for my amp. It's costly but a great and secure travel solution. I had a mini scare after hitting the brakes hard during a trip with my amp to a local stereo store. Quote
tyrion Posted March 29, 2008 Report Posted March 29, 2008 Everyone is welcome to ship gear to me in advance of CanJam. I shipped a bunch of gear to Aaron for the first annual meet. Quote

grawk Posted April 5, 2008 Report Posted April 5, 2008 Are the Pelican cases no good? No, they're great, just not a good fit for my stuff. Quote
morphsci Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 I used two of the big square Pelican cases (a 3070 with casters and a 3050 that sat on top of it) to bring my gear up to the first CHIUNIFI meet. They worked great as long as you're a bigass dude with muscles bulging out of your clothing. Otherwise, if you are like me they can get a little heavy and unwieldly. They did carry a ton of shit (SP ES1, Headamp GS-X, Eastsound E5, PS Audio P500, a broken down Sanus Rack, and all cables and accoutramonts) and they work well for me since they rode in the open back of my 94 Ranger (suitably locked down with padlocks). Maybe Billy will chime in, I looked like an itinerant MOT coming in off the street. It was November, and by the time I got them from the parking lot to the room I was sweating like the proverbial pig. At least it convinced me that I needed to get off my big duff and get some exercise (or was that just an excuse to spend money on a portable rig?). I also just bought THIS for transporting my desk laptop setup to a meet later this month. It just arrived but it looks like it will work well and is very well constructed. Quote
