Sunday will be better. Here are some interactions from my day one:..

Ety: Have you ever worn one? Would you like to start with the Westone tips?
Me: No, I want the full Etymotic experience. But just the tip.

Me: $35,000?
dCS: ...ish.
Me: $35000-ish? Why no 4.4?
dCS: No one has ever asked that before.
Me: ish.

UM: How do you like them?
Me: So... do you have anything in like the $300 range?
UM: Maybe you should try another table.

Me: Can I plug into this amp?
DCA: No, it's not working.
Me: What kind of Schiit is this?

Fir: Mind if I borrow your player to check something?
Me: Yeah, just don't open the folder labeled, "Not Porn."

Me: Is there a bass knob on your amp?
Rep: No.
Me: But you know you're Fostex, right?

Dude!
can't wait for the 2nd day interactions.

Hope everyone attending has a great time! Would be interested in impressions of the new closed back Hifiman Audivina, I believe it is debuting there.

I see the Elysian folks are there. Is it possible to walk up to the booth and buy an Annihilator?

Any impressions on the Viva Electrostatic amp?
How the Corina compares to the Voce and X9000?

viva 845 - tested with my Susvara and own source. Very enjoyable big tiny sound. Fantastic sound stage expansion. Warm, not neutral. Bass is deep but not tight. Overall more of a fun lush presentation.

Viva est amp - tested with X9000k was very good, emphasize is warmth from tubes

Viva house sound of amps is clearly warm and lush, done right

Highlight of the day:
Grand Cayman with the Shangri-La Sr

No words needed. This is me listening to it for the first time. Just, wow.

I have cayin 300 running Elrogs like you but that’s unfair competition with stock tubes. Just curious how tonality varies between 845 and 300b and if they are different enough to own both kinds (and of course a 2A3 thrown in for good measure .

Ah sorry I don’t have the Cayin…

What's the other device in the second picture?

It's my QLS QA390

It's my QLS QA390

Would you mind to share impressions/comparisons between QA390 and the Mjolnir?

(p.s. nice to see another qa390 user!)

I’ll do my best to grab a listen here shortly! I’m curious too

Flight got back yeaterday. Looks like I'm heading in today after all.

If you're still in the city and looking for something to do I've been wanting to check out this exhibit:

Thanks to everyone for the impressions of the EE Odyssey IEMs. I’d be really interested to get more A/B comparisons to the Odins as I was about to pull the trigger on the Odins. Thanks!

Is Grado represent at CanJam NY? Nobody is talking about the new GS3000x...

I put it on my head for like 10 seconds before the Yamaha's became available...

ZMF Atrium closed is very comfortable. One can have it on for long time. Can’t comment on SQ as it is noisy but not as warm as VC however the treble is better then VC

I listened to it with that amp too and it was great -- but what WAS that amp??
