Tactile--REALLY tactile--Jurassic Park demo at Taction Technology exhibit. Look for banner that says KANNON. Very cool.
Had a great time there. Everyone was super nice and we can't wait to come again next year.
Memorable favorites from the show were the nighthawk/v281 combo, the taction kannons, the new UERM. I'll post more impressions when I'm back at my computer.

This show is dangerous to my wallet.
I bought the ampsandsound Mogwai.
What a glorious tube amp!
As long as we're posting pictures, I think this shot probably sums up the Liquid Tungsten better than words ever can, @Nomad Girl

I was at CanJam yesterday and these are just some simple bullets:
+ Great conversations, enjoyed talking with the guys at 64Audio,Empire Ears, Atomic and Canjyin
+Canyin I5 really sweet device, but they have layered their propietary UI versus what all other guys have done
+Empire Ears Zeus XIV that I crazy how well these things are tuned. I was not expecting as the whole driver thing does not really always result on a better experience. But they nailed it
+64Audio, extremely friendly and very focused on people auditioning with clarifications,etc. U12 really nice,made me doubt the whole driver conversation. U12 , EE Zeus XIV are very close
+On the DAP side the Android units will take over. Free software will be the big driver. X7 and I5 a very close. I liked the form factor of the I5 maybe the volume dial. Pioneer is the one that I believe hits th right value point. Onkyo will be challenged by I5 when both hit the market. Echobox is too simple, they need to add something else than just wood
Just listened to the much-hyped Meze 99 Classics, and let me say, they live up to every word of it. Holy smokes. Honestly, I'm not sure that there is anything that can touch these value-wise for $309 right now.
Warm, romantic signature that is just killer for rock music and electronic. Big bass punch and sultry vocal delivery reminds me of the HE500 - it really has that lush planar-like delivery. Female vocals are just stellar on the 99 Classics, IMO.
Talked to Antonio Meze for a little bit, and he's a really cool, nice and open guy. I guess they are only 7 people over there. Pretty cool hearing how it all came together.
I'm probably going to pick up a pair of these and do a full review. Really, at their price point, this is one of the biggest no-brainers out there right now. Just a killer product and value, IMO. Be sure and check them out, if you get the opportunity.
