If you are attending California canjam I think the best place and closest to the event to grab a decent bite for not too expensive is fernando's taco inn, I recommend the carnitas plate if you like pork. And right across the street there is fine dinning rosa mexicano restaurant that is also great value if you have more money to spend. (many LA live restaurants will validate 2 or 3 hrs of parking)

Now if you want to recreate yourself with the sweet gifts of California, within walking distance look for the highway bridge, prepare your id and cash and by the taxis ask for the phantom store!

happy listening! see you there guys!

I’ll post this in the CanJam SoCal impressions thread as well:

Tonight (4-7-18) at 8pm, will be the Ping Pong Showdown at Paddle Room (formerly named SPiN) Los Angeles! The venue is a short walk from JW Marriott, or a short Uber ride if you don’t want to walk.

Here’s more info:

550 S Flower St, Los Angeles, CA 90017 (in The Standard Hotel, 2nd Floor)

Looking forward to seeing those who can make it!

I was slightly disappointed in the hi end rooms. Sr009 headphones only paired with Woo amp? It was heavily distorting. Would have hoped to have a control to compare against. Same with the VOCE, only paired with blue hawaii, a combo I wasn't impressed, and I suspect it was the amp.

Tried on a bunch of IEM.

Realized the u12t wasn't much of an upgrade from my U10.

Was planning to get the UE18 pro+ for $900 but I preferred the Andromeda more so ended up taking it back to my hotel room.

Also tried the Empire Ears Phantom and liked it a lot. But not for almost 2x the price of the Andromeda.

I'm very impressed with this event and how well put together it was. I will definitely go ahead next year.

I took a listen to the UE 18 Pro+. I liked it quite a bit (I'm a big fan of UE). It's nice to go to a show and bring a toy back, isn't it? Besides I bought the only Phantom he had so it would have been deferred pleasure for you if you bought one. :)

Oh, UE told me to check its website Weds. With a big smile. If any of you like UE, it might be worth your while.

Do they have the Legend-X for sale? I’m headed down there tomorrow...

I found the bass lacking. Some tracks, which I knew to have deep bass, did not translate well. I don't know if it was the headphone or the amp, but I'm inclined to give Mr. Speakers the benefit of the doubt, as I have an Ether, and with proper amping, can dig down to the bass.
