Hey Guys,
So yeah its a real big personal milestone for us here and me personally. This has been my dream for over a decade now, and I cant believe its finally done. This was not easy or cheap to do and took a good 4 years to complete, lots of set backs but each one we learned a lot as we pressed forward. As most folks know Campfire is not a big company, with only 14 full time employees and a 5000 SF shop in Portland Oregon we are managing to work our magic
/ fight the good fight and stay true to ourselves. I started out making cables and then modifying headphones for people a long time ago, did a ton of re cabling and headphone tuning and always wanted to start from scratch to make my own. Fell in love with the early Ultrasone Edition 7 headphone and noticed that there were not a lot of really good small portable closed back cans, so decided to shoot for that.
Ours uses a lot of premium materials and very little plastic. Tuning was really spot on so the sound is very good, if you like the Vega you will love these cans. I think all the years of making cables, re cabling and tuning headphones and just generally listening to everything out there has given us a pretty good view of the landscape to craft our own sound. I hope that Head-fi people will appreciate these subtle things we have injected into the Cascade.
Cheers,
Ken
