To reserve your shirt, please reply in the thread (do not PM) with your Head-Fi handle, the size you want, and how many of that size you want - all separated by hyphens. If you need to order multiple sizes, please start a new line. For example, this is my "order":
third_eye-L-2
third_eye-S-1
CanJam NYC 2022 T-Shirts are $30 and can be paid for with cash at the Registration Desk until 1pm on Sunday, February 27. All preorders not picked up by then will be released for general sale.
All T-Shirt pre-orders will be both picked up and paid for at the show, although we must have your reservation now in order to guarantee your shirts. The deadline for T-Shirt pre-orders for CanJam NYC 2022 is Friday, February 11, 2022. We will have a few extras T-Shirts in various sizes on hand as well. CanJam NYC 2022 volunteers do not have to separately order T-shirts as we will be providing them directly.

The past few years have seen phenomenal growth in high-end personal audio -- with the number of new product options being eclipsed only by the number of newcomers to the hobby.
To properly welcome everybody that is new to the hobby, we have prepared a series of highly-instructional "101" seminars, suitable for beginners and veterans alike. These seminars - lead by some of the most exceptional experts in personal audio - will establish a foundational knowledge base, expand understanding, shatter myths, and help you choose the gear that is best for you (often through personal Q&A sessions with our instructors).
Please note that we've scheduled most of the highly-instructional "101" seminars to take place as early as possible, with the majority of them on Saturday. It is our hope that you'll be able attend them earlier on in the show, then immediately use what you've learned to help you audition and evaluate the gear out on the show floor.
Headphones 101
Saturday, February 26th, 2022
11:00a - 12:00p
Simple in theory, headphones can be extraordinarily complicated electroacoustic devices. Join us for a clear overview of various driver designs (dynamic, planar magnetic, electrostatic, etc.). Learn about basic acoustics, frequency response, impedance, sensitivity, and more. And most importantly, discover how to choose the headphone that best suits your needs.
Instructor: Everett Manns, Community Manager, Grell Audio
Headphones 201
Saturday, February 26th, 2022
12:00p - 1:00pm
Take your understanding of high-performance headphone audio to the next level, by taking a step back to see a bigger picture. Explore more advanced acoustical concepts - including pinna interaction, individual ear geometries, and acoustic impedances - all of which can contribute to both perceived and actual differences in what you hear.
Instructor: Axel Grell, Founder & CEO, Grell Audio
Amplification 101
Saturday, February 26th, 2022
2:00p - 3:00p
What amp will best drive your headphone(s) of choice? Should you opt for tubes or solid state? Learn the basics of amplification including gain, topology, and classification. Understand how power output, voltage, current, output impedance, damping factor, and distortion will factor into your decisions - and what an amplifier's specifications can and cannot tell you about its performance.
Instructor: Justin Weber, Founder & Lead Engineer/Designer, ampsandsound
Digital Audio 101
Saturday, February 26th, 2022
3:00p - 4:00p
Join us for a clear and concise introduction to digital audio, as well as the DACs (Digital-to-Analog Converters) needed to enjoy it. Learn all about various DAC topologies (Delta-sigma, R-2R, etc.), clocks, filters, jitter, ringing, whether DAC chips really do have a house sound, and much more - so that you can evaluate which DAC might be best for you.
Instructor: Michael Goodman, Founder & Lead Engineer/Designer, CEntrance
Streaming 101
Saturday, February 26th, 2022
4:00p - 5:00p
Streaming is arguably the most convenient method of audio delivery today. Learn about various streaming services and their features: music selection, audio quality, artist payout, and more. Then discover which streaming configuration (apps, connect, dedicated streaming hardware, etc.) is best for your needs. And finally, to Roon or not to Roon?

Measurements 101
Sunday, February 27th, 2022
12:00p - 1:00p
Gain foundational knowledge in how to read and interpret headphone measurements. Learn what measurements can - and what they cannot - tell us about how headphones will sound. If your purchasing decisions are based upon measurements, either in whole or in part, this may be the most important seminar you’ll attend the entire weekend.

Special Presentation: Chord Electronics’ Mojo 2
Sunday, February 27th, 2022
2:00p - 3:00p
Seven years after the debut of its predecessor, Chord’s long-awaited Mojo 2 portable DAC/amp is finally here. Come join Rob Watts of Chord Electronics for a fascinating recounting of its development over the years, and a comprehensive overview of the Mojo 2’s groundbreaking features, including: UHD DSP (a fully transparent and lossless digital tone control); enhanced menu options featuring an additional control sphere for crossfeed/mute/lock settings; intelligent FPGA-based battery management and charging; and of course more taps.
Special Guest: Rob Watts, Chord Electronics
Special Presentation: Modern Measurement Techniques for Headphones, DACs and Related Audio Devices
Sunday, February 27th, 2022
3:00p - 4:00p
Since the introduction of the Hewlett-Packard 200A audio oscillator in 1939, sine waves have been the primary test signal to characterize performance of audio products. With many of today’s audio products incorporating non-linear signal processing, such as noise-cancelling headphones or voice-processing devices, sinewave-based testing methods either do not work or yield test results that are incorrect, especially when characterizing distortion. This seminar will focus on test techniques that incorporate test signals and analysis methods using speech and music-like signals as well as actual speech and music. This seminar is intended for anyone involved in product design or are interested in learning more about how today’s audio products should be tested to better characterize audio quality.
Special Guest: Dan Foley, Audio Precision
Fantastic opportunity to learn a lot that this hobby has to offer. Wish I could attend and interact with these esteemed gentlemen.

In my previous visit, it was all about checking out gears but now I'm at a stage in my hobby where these sessions are tempting me more than actual gears.
Will there be recordings available for these sessions?

If anyone is planning on attending CanJam NYC 2022 and would like a profile badge (or needs any other CanJam profile badges), please send me a PM by clicking here and I can get you set up.
In an effort to not clutter the thread up with requests. any in-thread profile badge requests will be removed from the thread.

I completely understand what you mean. This is where the excitement of the initial gear phase grows into a deeper thirst for knowledge and wisdom in the hobby.
Unfortunately, no. For the time being, these seminars are CanJam exclusives.

AMAZING!!
Just a heads up for everyone. We had a similar Saturday schedule for CanJam SoCal this past September and my only advice is........come early.

So many interesting sessions.
But I must say so many headphones I want to try..
which there was a hole day of seminars that preceded the 2-day demos so as not to compete with the precious time
