You guys just have fun
I know we're all getting impatient for more,.. everything. I'd rather that you wait, get your thoughts together and your photos edited.
Those pictures of you guys in the bathtub will have me Q-Tipping coffee out of my keyboard for a week! Great stuff, thanks.

I'm home. I have tunnel vision. And a touch of what they call a "hangover".
Thanks to everyone on the organizing committee for putting together a really top notch meet/party and of course to all the members who came out and made it unforgettable. The band last night was simply phenomenal, too, by the way. Just unreal.
More later. Viper needs bed.

Dam man, sucked you had to leave Viper....was a crazy weekend indeed.
Im crazy tired from only sleeping a few hours a night...about 4 each night for the past 3 days.
However it was well worth it...we came, we saw, we ROCKED our cans all night long.

Hope to hear the BHSE someday. Hope one of the lucky owners will be on the West coast.
I wonder about tube rolling it.
Have fun guys... more pic, more words.
Cheers,

Well I went to my first CanJam.
It was a great experience. Plus it was only 20 minutes away, which was a big plus.
I listened to a lot of systems, I was particularly impressed with the R10 and the K1000 at the beginning.
However, as I said in another thread, after I heard Stax everything else sounded bad.
I am now an official Stax convert.
I'm glad I got the chance to listen to all those rigs because I would've made the mistake of continually upgrading my dynamic system and would've ended up never being happy.
I guess I just like what electrostatic headphones excell at, a lot more than I liked what dynamic headphones were good at.
So now I'm just going to pick up a Stax SRS-4040II system and be done forever (or until I upgrade to the OmegaII).
Thanks to everyone who put together CanJam, I appreciate it!

This is my fear. I will hear an O2 & BH and sell my dynamics for cents to the dollar. I don't know if I should congratulate or pity you.
I think this meet really impressed me on the habits of such a fine and cultured group.  The bar tab for the weekend would equal a decent portable rig.
I hope someone held a toast to Ken36's health.
I'm so jealous! 
More please.

Well, I'm all packed up from CanJam! I had a great time, especially at the raffle. I cleaned up, with an ALO LOD, CDs from IsoMike, a DAC and Amp from Crossroads, and the best one of all, a pair of Shure SE530.

Well, CanJam 2008 is "officially" over, but there are plenty of people still here. The party will continue....

Congrats bperboy, that's a serious upgrade from your Koss KSC75s! I won a portable amp (first amp for me to own) and my wife won a UE10 Triple Fi (she has no idea what triple-fi is)!!
