Did anyone prefer the Mr. Speakers Ether to their new electrostatic prototype?
Thanks,

The final version of the Liquid Spark will be about 4mm thinner and about 1cm shorter and just about the same width, with rounded corners. So hopefully that will work better with your cargo shorts.

Bizarrely... I thought the Ether C was the best out of Mr. Speakers offerings.
I might recommend a Raspberry Pi solution. It meets your requirements and it's dirt cheap compared to something like the new Auralic (which wasn't there).

I hope that the music coming out of our gear made you happy.

Small tid bit about the noise level people were talking about earlier. When I was at the Rha table we had one gentlemen testing out the T20i and whipped a pair of earmuffs! He had some serious dedication to hear the iems lol!
Ya, I wouldn't have been able to use my muffs over a pair of open-backed iems as well, that would actually alter their sound a bit.Of course this most likely couldn't be applied to over ear open back cans and can pretty much only be used for iems which certainly aren't everybody's cup of tea.
I did enjoy the fact that their were many individually shared room, it gave a sense of intimacy when listening to something. It was also good in the regard that we didn't have to noise from everything being put in one show room.In my eyes and ears CanJam is fantastic for getting a taste of new gear I wouldn't expect it to give a fully accurate representation of a pair of cans with the passive noise level. The individual hotel rooms were fantastic for exhibitors who made those arrangements but it certainly wouldn't expect it to be feasible to ask all vendors to shell out the cost for individual hotel rooms or even to pass on the cost to individuals. THE Show Newport has a majority of exhibitors in rooms to show off their speakers but that certainly is a different case and does make me feel rather disconnected when I generally have to move room to room. CanJam did have a number of vendors in a room but it was easy to move table to table demoing gear in my experience.
Soundproof booths sound (or lack thereof )like a great idea. Don't think that many hotels even have these, or if they did then not many of them. So I agree that it would be unrealistic for CanJam events. Would definitely love seeing this at the Summer San Fran Meet though.I believe for the San Fran meet in July in the wikia office there is sound proof booths or there are plans to grab some. Soundproof booths would be nice for all meets and shows but is honestly unrealistic for our events.
Which one was your favorite headphone?Events can be attend for strictly listening to cans, for meeting and socializing, etc etc and I think that is the beauty of CanJam was to meet up with old friends and make new friends. I maybe hit up 10 tables during my time in between the Rha table and the registration table and it was honestly my favorite headphone event by far!
