This was my first CanJam, and I was pleased that the promised friendly atmosphere lived up to expectations and beyond. I didn't make detailed notes, but did make a brief jot down of some of the things that either particularly impressed me, and/or I decided to buy as a result of the listen. I...

Compared the red to the black at CanJam. Red seemed more detailed, but brighter than the black, and as my current IEM's are already a little bright, the red is not for me...

Alas, no. Not really a DAP guy, myself.

The following is a brief (not very brief, sorry!) comparison of a few small 'dongle-DACs' that I have been playing with. Making my way back into the head-fi game after a few years away, I treated myself to a pair of Trinity Audio Atlas IEM's, and then fell into the all-too familiar cycle of...

You're more likely to get the information you need in the dedicated amplifiers forum. There's heaps of stuff there.

The science museum is fantastic, well worth a visit. Plus it's free, so you can dip in and out without feeling like you're wasting the entrance fee if you aren't feeling it.   If you are in early September, I would HIGHLY recommend taking in a Prom at the Royal Albert Hall...

Does this count as strictly 'legal'? If not, then I think we are tiptoeing towards breaking head-fi rules here...

Interesting graphic on BBC news about supercomputers today, using treemaps.   http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/10187248.stm   Not the most relevant to the thread, interesting none the less.

I picked up a nice new toy today. Happened to be passing a stationary-stand, and saw a Kuru Toga. In a fit of whimsy, I decided that I had to have one. The self-rotating barrel thing is really cool, and despite the thing being made from 10 different flavours of plastic, it doesn't feel too...
