There is Audio46 in New York City as well.
Nothing will compare with a T2. One listen and you'll know it.
Sorry, I think there's some miscommunication here. You said you listened to the T2 "at CanJam Chicago. T2 bested them all, wasn’t even close". And I am asking if you were referring to the original T2 or another DIY T2, such as the 'Kerry Built' T2, especially since you mentioned Aeras, which is also made by Eksonic. Probably is, just wanted to be sure.This.
Do you mean a physical store where you can audition/purchase Stax headphones and/or other estats? If so, The Source AV in Torrance, CA is another. In addition to Stax, they also handle the DCA Voce.There is only 1 Stax/estat store in USA, correct? Woo Audio in NYC, I believe it is. I wonder how many there are worldwide... maybe 20?
Yes, Kerry's Eksonic DIY T2.Sorry, I think there's some miscommunication here. You said you listened to the T2 "at CanJam Chicago. T2 bested them all, wasn’t even close".

Yep! This is the ONLY reason I'd ever want to go to NYC. Maybe I'll go to LA, instead!Do you mean a physical store where you can audition
No worries on that front (see photo below of The Source AV's headphone listening space)...I would hate to go all the way to either of these stores, only to find out it's some cramped little shop, where most everything is jammed into shelves behind glass, with minimal hands-on testing available.
Source AV is the real deal and they have a BHSE for testing.Yep! This is the ONLY reason I'd ever want to go to NYC. Maybe I'll go to LA, instead!

The chairs are actually padded and pretty comfortable, IMO. Plus there are even a few more listening stations not pictured. Definitely a tremendous resource for headphone lovers!Dam... That is more demo chairs than I've seen in all shops I've been to combined! BUT, much lower quality chairs. ;P WHICH store has a collaboration with a high end furniture store..?
All those LCD's are gonna make the floor crack
Thats a WES, gen 2 most likely.The chairs are actually padded and pretty comfortable, IMO. Plus there are even a few more listening stations not pictured. Definitely a tremendous resource for headphone lovers!
I should mention that they also have a Woo estat amp (not sure the model, but it's in the photo) in addition to the BHSE. Finally, they have acquired an SR-X9000 for demo since that photo was taken.
Almost. Cooter's 845 was very much inline with some better characteristic performance, the Circlotron was flat out better.Nothing will compare with a T2. One listen and you'll know it.

Who would have imagined T2's more feasible availability. Ha.
The concession of the DIY community dwindling.I wish it wasn't so
