    Well the title says it all. I don't see many or really any meets on the continent and wondered if there is any interest from the community. I've led the team that organized Canjam LA in 2009 as well as the first few Canjam at Rocky Mountain audio fest events. I've also done several medium sized...

    Review: HiFiMan HM-602

    Portable audio is something I've had a love hate relationship with for a long time. Growing up in NY and later working in the 5 boroughs with an hour commute at times the three daily papers, a Walkman and a half dozen tapes made the journey tolerable and sometimes fun. I'd always spent the money...

    Review: Dussun T2i Integrated Amp, DAC and Headphone amp

    Ping Gong from AAA-audio.com was kind enough to donate this amp to our CanJam raffle and since it arrived at my house about a week before the event I thought I’d take it for a spin. To start with Dussun is a Chinese audio company that is very well regarded on several audio forums for making...

    Shure 420 set yourself free

    Ok so I went through an IEM portable rig phase and did the whole somewhat ridiculous rig held together with a rubber band thing. Not to say that is not a decent way to go if you are on the go alot and a portable/transportable set up is your main thing. For me in the end it started to come down...

    What are your sonic objectives/priorities?

    Ok so we have this fun play room dedicated to high end audio but without context opinions and impressions can be of little value particularly in the high end arena.

    Ok it's pretty much time for a Bay Area meet and while I am partial to the east bay I wonder where most people think is most convenient. The timing will be late June/ early July skipping the 4th weekend of course. So vote so I can get an idea and then I'll scout a location.
