    CanJam London 2016 Impressions Thread (August 13-14, 2016)

    Thanks for sharing your impressions! Just curious, what was your source for trying all those different IEMs/headphones?

    CanJam London 2016 Impressions Thread (August 13-14, 2016)

    Only their upcoming "Flare HDs". Sending you a PM to see when we can meet later today to listen to your R2Pro. And yeah, that might very well have been me with the portable CD player (come have a listen to that too!) Hehe...

    CanJam London 2016 Impressions Thread (August 13-14, 2016)

    Didn't do much listening yesterday, was volunteering the whole morning and socializing with old and new friends. Did manage to visit the Flare Audio booth to try their "Isolate" ear protectors and upcoming IEMs, the Sennheiser booth to try the HD800(s) and HD650/Groove combo and spent quite a...

    CanJam London 2016 (August 13-14, 2016)

    Here are some of my classical (and a few non-classical) CDs that I'll be bringing to London. Send me a message if anyone is interested in any of these CDs. Prices starting from £1. :D

    CanJam London 2016 (August 13-14, 2016)

    I'm not sure, but there should be several other smaller (used) record shops in the area which you should be able to locate with a quick Google search. However, Gramex is supposed to be the one with the biggest selection of used classical (and some jazz) CDs in London if not in the whole of the...

    CanJam London 2016 (August 13-14, 2016)

    For lovers of classical music, the BBC Proms is currently on and there are concerts every evening at the Royal Albert Hall (near South Kensington tube station). Don't worry if you can't buy tickets online as there are always very affordable prom tickets (standing tickets) sold for 6 quid each on...

    CanJam London 2016 (August 13-14, 2016)

    1.) Is this an additional prize that Sennheiser is giving away or the same one as the one for the CanJam SHaG?   2.) What if someone uses neither Twitter nor Instagram?

    Flare Audio R2PRO Kickstarter campaign

    Thanks for the offer! I actually do have the R2A (which I'll be bringing with me), but am just curious to see for myself how much different it is compared to the R2S and R2PRO.

    Flare Audio R2PRO Kickstarter campaign

    So attendees can only purchase but not try the R2A and R2S? And what about the R2PRO? I was just hoping that if you had the full R2 range there then a side by side comparison between them all can finally be made. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to the brand new IEMs as well as meeting the...

    Flare Audio R2PRO Kickstarter campaign

    @Paul Pabs  Will the full R2 range (R2A, R2S and R2PRO) as well as new products (e.g. Isolate and that new IEM in your post above, etc.) be available for listening or even purchasing at the coming CanJam?

    CanJam London 2016 (August 13-14, 2016)

    Recently completed my studies in the UK and wasn't sure if I'd have left before CanJam takes place but just few days ago decided that I'd be here for the next two weeks so I'm absolutely excited to be able to make it! Asked rather late, but was glad when I heard from @third_eye that a volunteer...

    Flare Audio R2PRO Kickstarter campaign

    Tried the teabag mod with silicone ear tips on my R2A recently, and sadly found it to alter the overall signature such that it is too lean (balance tipped towards higher frequencies) and grainy for my liking. Timbre became noticeably much less natural especially when listening to acoustic...

    FiiO New Portable Headphone Amp A1 --Classic & Tiny & Metal

    Always amazed by the design and function of FiiO devices. This new mini A1 amp sure looks compact, well built and packed with many features. Would be very delighted if I could have the chance to try it out!
