Default CanJam was costly

So I see a banner ad for the CanJam meet and think to myself that this might be a good chance to get some custom earmolds for my Eymotics. While I'm waiting for Kathy to finish her session I start listening to various headphones and amps. Up until that day I've never really had any interest in high end headphones but was amazed at what I was hearing. Bottom line is that I just bought a pair of HD800's and will be putting in an order for the Woo WA6 SE amp. Most expensive earmolds ever.

We are all enablers, jude is the chief enabler. I thought the WA6 SE was a great amp with the HD800. Not quite the WA5 but a lot less money. Enjoy!

Good thing I wont have any cash to bring to canjam '10.

But I might end up selling all my gear for something big if I'm not careful.

Yes, it was expensive. I'll order a HD800 on Monday and I told Craig that I'll order his phonostage. Good stuff!

JH13s for me. Still cheaper than last year's CanJam's damage.

HD800 is definitely on my radar screen, now that I've heard it and liked it. I can't quite afford it at the moment (spent too much already on other stuff), but one day a pair of HD800 will grace my headphone stand.
