And I'm also enjoying reading about Pizzafest but I'm puzzled as to why you gentlemen haven't even considered going out to Brooklyn to feast on some killer pizza - http://www.spumonigardens.com/

Yeah I know it's not wood fired brick oven but it's real NY pizza made for real New Yorkers.

My parts stock room was around the corner on Highlawn & S and some of the guys liked to go there for lunch and I never thought their pizza was good, at all. I went there this past summer with some friends from NC, one who've never been there, and we were all very disappointed.

Off topic, but relevant and fascinating, yet obvious...:

I grew up in Brooklyn, not very far from Spumoni Gardens, and back then (we're talking over 20 years ago) it was one of the pizza parlors in all of Brooklyn. Since I haven't been there recently I will take your word for the decline in quality. But hey there's always Lenny's Pizza, made famous in Saturday Night Fever:

I want to make sure I have enough cable choices with me to hook up to exhibitors amplifiers or external DACs fed by my music collection stored on my Questyle QP1R DAP. The DAP has optical out only so will bring TOSLINK cable. I will also bring my CHORD HUGO2 which I think has RCA out. Can I use it with the QP1R if RCA out is needed? What cables in addition to my TOSLINK would be ideal to cover all connectivity issues so I can audition SUSVARA, STAX SR009, MEZE EMPYREAN, and ABYSS AB-1266 PHI CC??

Thanks

The optical cable or RCA coax can plug into the back of any of the 10+ Benchmark DAC3/HPA4 systems that will be at the show. I will also have several extra cables at the Benchmark booth where we will have a nice selection of headphones to try.

I wouldn’t recommend L&B for anyone looking for “NY style” pizza, they will be severely disappointed/confused. I’m not even sure what to classify their pizza as, as its not a regular Sicilian square either. Ive never been a fan of the pizza, but many of my friends and family do like it. It looks like deep dish, but it’s actually the thick fluffy dough with the crispy crust that gives it the thickness, rather than the cheese and sauce. I will say I love their spumoni and Italian ices though. They actually do have a pretty good full Italian menu; the linguini w/white clam sauce is pretty good.

I think it was 'famous' because of its location back in the day, to be quite honest.

You mean because I am awesome? Or because they want to punish me? By the way, pizza thread is up.

Here is the Seminar Schedule for next week. Spaces are limited so plan accordingly!

CanJam NYC 2019 Seminar Schedule
Join us in the Majestic/Music Box rooms on the 6th floor for a series of interactive discussion panels with some of the industry’s leading experts in audio technology. Always entertaining, extremely engaging, and very informative, these seminars give you a behind the scenes look at the headphone audio industry like nothing else.

Saturday, February 16

1pm-2pm Measuring Headphones Today: Precision & Challenges
Jude Mansilla of Head-Fi.org will examine the level of precision needed to measure today’s headphones and IEMs, modeling human perception, how measurement data is obtained, why headphone measurements matter, and why they sometimes don’t. He'll also discuss some of the new challenges that today's headphones and earphones can present for those who want to measure them.

2:30-3:30 It’s 2019! So Why Are You Still Measuring Audio Devices Like It’s 1969?
Audio test methods and techniques have hardly changed in the past several decades. Frequency response is primarily measured using a sine wave stimulus. Distortion is primarily determined using sine waves, with Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) typically being the only result that is published. This presentation will focus on new techniques for characterizing performance of any type of audio device using speech and music to complement traditional audio test and measurement methods. Presented by Dan Foley of Audio Precision and ALMA.

4pm-5pm Chord Hugo TT 2 Technical Seminar With Rob Watts
The Chord Electronics Hugo TT2 is much more than a desktop version of the portable Hugo 2. Rob Watts will be talking about the new design and technologies behind the Chord Electronics Hugo TT 2, how it differs from its portable sibling, including a presentation of the Hugo TT 2’s measured performance.


Sunday, February 17

12:30-1:30pm Chord Hugo M Scaler Technical Talk With Rob Watts
Rob Watts will be talking about the importance of transients for auditory perception, and how digital audio has problems in recreating transients accurately enough. He will then talk in detail about the Chord Electronics Hugo M Scaler, which guarantees better than 16-bit reconstruction of transients, with the one-million tap WTA filter employed in the Hugo M Scaler.

2pm-3pm CanJam NYC 2019 Personal Audio AMA (Ask Me Anything)
How do headphone engineers achieve their desired tuning? Will digital audio ever approach analog? How much do audio measurements really matter? You have questions. Bring them to the CanJam NYC 2019 Personal Audio AMA, and let our distinguished panel -- Paul Barton (NAD/PSB), Dan Clark (MrSpeakers), Dan Foley (Audio Precision and ALMA) and Rob Watts (Chord Electronics) -- answer them all. This panel will be moderated by Head-Fi staffer Warren Chi.

Head south, then turn left at the first intersection, after that go about 3 miles until you see the giant turtle being attacked by a gang of snails, but pay attention it happens pretty fast.

Just imagine if I really did, or maybe don't, it might be even scarier.
