I’ve had the pleasure of going a couple of times and, as someone without a great deal of experience, it can be exhilarating to try so much great stuff. But it can also be a bit overwhelming and easy to lose track of impressions since there's so much to take in. I found it helpful the second time to come up with a list, in advance, of the headphones and IEMs I wanted to hear and not to feel the need to try cram in too much.

Also, try to avoid hearing vastly different quality items back to back: a few years back I tried the Focal Elear and had great first impressions of them. I immediately switched over to the Utopia, when a space became available, and the Elear lost their magic all too quickly (and, arguably, unfairly).

The best thing I did? I took a little notebook to jot down impressions immediately after listening to something (and a bit later on, when I had some more perspective). Taking notes also meant I had plenty of nice, little breaks to clean the palette and to process what I’d just heard.

Well said.

This is great advice - thank you. Very helpful- I hadn’t considered the part about listening to vastly different things back to back at all. Good things to be mindful of!

I worked on 32nd for a while across from Penn, and for our monthly department meetings we got Suprema a lot. Can confirm, Suprema is the best pizza in NYC. Pricey though, expect around $6-$7 a slice!

Maybe if you get some kinda exotic slice. Their big plain slices are $4.

How much does a pie of pizza cost there?

 

[Zachik]

Guys - after all the dough you spend on TOTL gear, you cannot afford a couple pizza slices? and complain they're too pricey?!

I hope all manufacturers attending this CanJam NYC are taking notes. Nobody is talking about audio gear in this thread, instead we are discussing pizza slices So, if you want to get the show visitors hyped up to listen to your gear, better stock up on food at the tables
