Hello all. I'm going to attempt to live stream the entire show floor of CanJam, one exhibitor at a time today. I will start broadcasting from the pavilion around 10:00 am and won't stop until everyone is covered. Please feel free to jump into the conversation and ask questions directly to the...

I also wanted to bring to your attention that there will be a few headphone vendors sprinkled around the rest of the show in loudspeaker rooms that you might want to check out in addition to everything available at EGX.   Woo Audio (Jack will have the Abyss and Stax 009 on hand) - Lower Level...

HA, Yes!  This week now. I originally meant next weekend, which is now this weekend. 

A quick update for everyone in case you didn't notice the change on the first page. The meet will take place on the second floor in a room called the Waveland Room.  Looking forward to seeing everyone there this week!

May 2 works for me as well, love to attend!

Hey guys, I spoke with Mr.Speakers this weekend and was able to confirm that he will be bringing the new Ether to EGX as well. There will be plenty to be excited for, tons of cool, brand new gear to check out for the first time in the mid west!  

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

Due to various reasons, show specials aren't always publicized beforehand. Don't be shy to ask around at the show, many exhibitors may be able to help you out.  Ex. This year Noble will be offering free ear mold impressions and no sales tax with the purchase of any custom product.

EGX will be set up in the same location as last year on the first floor.

Great news, we were able to score a huge boardroom on the second floor for the meet. Now people will still be able to find the location, but it is off the beaten path a bit more for better privacy. 

  I'm not sure if many of you have had a chance to attend a meet outside of Chicago, but events like this take place all over the country with little to no incident. I think Warren provided a great outline to this same question (that usually comes up) in the L.A. meet thread.  

Hey Guys!  We got a hot one heating up for April. Check out the new flyer.     The most recent additions to the lineup include Astell & Kern, Resonessence Labs, Audeze, HiFiMan, Auralic, Ayre, Comply, Etymotic, Ginko Audio, and oBrovo with more on the way.    What product are you most...

Hey everyone.   I just updated the attendee and vendor list into this thread. HeadAmp was recently added to the lineup and there is much more to come!   As for Claritas's badge/name question, this year AXPONA will be doing wrist bands in lieu of name badges so things will be a little simpler...

  Hello mid west Head-Fiers!   We are planning on having a meet on April 25, 2015 that will run alongside AXPONA's Ear Gear Expo (EGX) at the Westin O'hare in Chicago. Please post to this thread if you are planning on attending the meet, along with what gear you plan on bringing and how many...

AXPONA is back again and we are going to have even more headphone gear than last year in the dedicated Ear Gear Expo (EGX) section of the show. Come hear the latest in personal audio from Sennheiser, Audeze, Astell & Kern, Noble, Jerry Harvey Audio and more! It all takes place at the ORD Westin...

I actually do have a pair of the original "non i" SR80s Gratos that I can bring Claritas. Could be interesting!

Hey Guys (and Dubstep Girl), :)   Just to confirm, AXPONA will have an exclusive dedicated headphone area this year called Ear Gear Expo (EGX). The space is going to be even bigger than last year with way more headphone vendors.  APRIL 25-27, Westin by the airport. http://www.axpona.com/ 

Hey guys, I got my impressions and a good number of pictures up on the site.  Thanks to all who attended, I had a great time.   http://audio-head.com/chiunifi-head-fi-meet-2013/

Hey Guys, the meet recap is up on the site if you know where to find it.

I had a great time guys.  Thank you Keith for putting this all together.  I've added a new post with some coverage if you know where to find it. 

They also had a red version.  

Really great time meeting all of you.  Thanks to Audio Addict and Arnold for putting this event together.   Here are some shots from the show.            

+1 for the darkstar here.  Audio Head is planning on bringing the ALO Pan Am and a pair of LCD3's, and the portable workout rig which includes the Ray Samuels Shadow.  Just as an FYI, parking can be a bit pricey in that area, so I'll probably be taking the public transit in myself.  Let me know...

Audio-Head should be there!  Is Arnold supplying any gear?  We can bring some good stuff depending on what you guys want to do.

Quote: There are other options I have found that will do the job.  Fiio makes some great products at a lower price point.  But I haven't found one yet that is as solid at this size.  It is usually most expensive to get to that last level of refinement.  Here is my .02 on the subject:  ...
