October 1, 200916 yr I know it's a bit early for this, but the anticipation is building for what will surely be an awesome 3 days of audio goodness! My gear is all packed up and so are my clothes, because I'm far enough from Denver that it'd be a pain in the ass to make the round-trip drive twice a day for 3 days. And also because I have a proactive role in this year's show, plus there are a bunch of cool people to hang out with this time. Not sure how soon pics will be coming because I recently had to format my laptop (new HD) and couldn't find my Photoshop Elements CD in time to install it. Will look for a freeware alternative in the meantime.... Heading to Denver tonight after work to scope out the scene and meet up with JP, Jude, Jack Wu, et al.
October 1, 200916 yr I'm at the hotel and the room looks great, having a quick pint and some lunch then it's off to get the set up rolling. Look forward to seeing you guys later today and tomorrow.
October 1, 200916 yr I'll most likely be working very, very late this evening, but I'll hit it fresh tomorrow morning at about 10 to start setting up, getting acquainted, etc. Looking forward to seeing old faces and new faces alike, and of course to all the awesome gear.
October 1, 200916 yr I hope to be there between 1-2 pm Friday. Because of time/flight constraints and carry on restrictions, I will be traveling gear and liquid refreshmentless.
October 2, 200916 yr Have fun guys! Post lots of pics of irrationally-over-the-top speaker rigs and glossy-eyed speaker nuts trying to figure what the hell to do with the headphone gear .
October 2, 200916 yr could someone be so kind as to listen to these and report back , much obliged..dB
October 2, 200916 yr could someone be so kind as to listen to these and report back , much obliged..dB Whoa! They're out already. They look much more like the Hifiman orthos now.
October 2, 200916 yr Two tweets from Computer Audiophile: "This is something to keep an eye on. Seriously." "CanJam anyone?"
October 3, 200916 yr Whoa! They're out already. They look much more like the Hifiman orthos now. They look a lot like the HiFiman orthos. They also look a heck of a lot better than the LCD1.
October 3, 200916 yr great first day we are off to dinner and drinks, more to come...Audio gear impressions, please.
October 3, 200916 yr CanJam at RMAF Denver CO October 2,3,4 - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio
October 3, 200916 yr could someone be so kind as to listen to these and report back , much obliged..dB I Will ! Got in late, about 5:30 or so, and got set up before the room got locked up for the night. Woo Hoo everything worked right once I got the Apple TV remote working. Jude was going to be busy for dinner, and by the time I was done seeing if we could join him then everyone else was gone. So, I had dinner at Texas Roadhouse with Ray Samuels, AudioAddict (Steve) and Ted from Cable Pro. Then we came back and listened to some GamuT speakers while they were tweaking their analog speaker rig (looked like Ray knew the guys). Then my son was bored and we had to go back to the room so he could watch more Star Wars and fall asleep. Looking forward to tomorrow, and shaking hands with a few people. I saw Augs there but missed talking to him. It was good to see JP, Jude, Asr and Sherwood again.
October 3, 200916 yr I was sequstered in headphone-land, but RMAF usually pulls somewhere near 5k people. I'll bet only about 800 of those made it through the CanJam room last night, so we have to step it up. In other news, the Audez'e is a winner. I spent about 5 minutes with it, and was really impressed with the clarity and bass definition. I spent about 20 minutes talking with the Shankar and Alex (Alex?) about the headphones, and why they married rave DJs. Good guys, very good headphones. I vastly prefer them to the LCD-1, in looks and sound. Also, Jerry Harvey is the devil. How could I say no to free impressions on the spot and $100 off JH13s?
October 3, 200916 yr Also, Jerry Harvey is the devil. How could I say no to free impressions on the spot and $100 off JH13s? You fucking fucker!
October 3, 200916 yr Man, I wish I could've made it there but the money just wasn't there! For you guys that want to hear something pretty special, make sure and visit Bobby Palkovic's Merlin Music Systems room. He really knows how to set up a great system in those shitty hotel rooms and the Joule Electric amps don't hurt either. It's not your knock you socks off demo (which I get pretty sick of after a day or so) but just nice pure music. Not to be missed IMHO. Enjoy!
