I don't know about the tech aspects of it all, but yes, I personally prefer to turn the volume all the way down on the source before pressing play. I'm concerned about saving my ears, but in the process that also saves the gear.

It's a meet habit for me. I consider it common courtesy. Turning down the volume before getting up from a station is a good habit, IMO.

I just noticed a icon in my posts for Can-Jam. Upon mousing over it, it shows "Attendee". 
If it doesn't mean anything than no big deal, but if it relates to something important, like head-count or something more important, I would suggest not counting me in attendance until I register.

Ah, yes, before leaving too! Good point. I used to do that when demoing at record shops, back in the day.

I'm super pumped for this meet, can't wait to see everybody in a few weeks!

 

[David Aldrich]

It's still almost 3 weeks away. Time is dragging.

Well, I had a feeling..... I will not be attending after all. I've just been informed that my requested time off got pulled and I will have to choose another time.
Oh well, I tried at least.

Oh that sucks 

 
Hope you can make other head fi events in the future.

Yes, like next year's Canjam perhaps.

Do we have raffle this time?

Solitary - What gear were you hoping to trial?

Newbie here, but a long time Head-Fi lurker. Very excited to meet everyone at CanJam!

Current view from the Bridge of Gardens at South Coast Plaza (across the street from CanJam):



If CanJam has similar weather in a fortnight (add a few days), everyone is in for a treat!

There was a quote from one of the organizers that the SHaG would be truly epic (first few pages of the thread)...so I would think so...

 
 
Oh yeah I have been tallying the t-shirts as I go so here is the List I have (I know someone else was going to do this also, but hey, what can I say the engineer in my made me do it

):

Solitary - What gear were you hoping to trial?

The first thing I wanted to do was verify whether something was amiss with the headphones I have or if an amp was the solution:
If headphones: my list of headphones is: (not comprehensive of course)
Koss Pro 4AA
 
Audio Technica:
ATH T400
AUD ATHAD500X
ATH-AD 700X
 
Phillips SHP9500
Denon AH-D1100
Shure SRH840
 
Sennheiser:
HD558
HD598
HD600 (just for kicks)
 
AKG:
K701 (Just for kicks)
K702
K240
K240 MKII
 
Beyerdynamic DT770 PRO (250 ohm)
 
If an amp is the solution, then my list is as follows, but in no way comprehensive:
Oppo HA-1 (just to see it for kicks because it's pretty, can’t afford it though)
Schiit Magni
Schiit Vali
Bravo Audio V2 Class A 12 AU7
Bravo Audio V1 Valve Class A
Bravo Audio V2 Valve Class A
Fiio EO9K
Etc. in the not too pricey category.
 
Nothing tragic, this can all wait until next year.
