Lucky you to have a wife like that
I ask my wife to accompany me to SG next year but she don't want to join me to Canjam and don't want to be left alone in the hotel. I told her to go sightseeing by herself on the mall but she said she don't enjoy walking alone. So in the end I go to SG by myself
Can't you bring your own tips?
They don't have that many to be honest although what they have is very good. Outside of Japan and Hong Kong if I had to pick a spot to demo hundreds of IEMs I'd go for Seoul.Or you can just go to Zeppelin & Co. in SG. Some people says it's like a mini canjam too
It may be time for shirts with "Please talk to me, I'm the wife of a Watercooler guy"
Haha, I feel you, man. Last CanJam SG, my wife was actually excited to go sightseeing by herself while I went to the show. She loves exploring without Google Maps or other people telling her where to go, so, yeah, ‘definitely lucky there.Lucky you to have a wife like that

Indeed, Singapore is unlike HK, Japan or S. Korea in that its shops are kinda spread out. It may not be ideal for tourists on a time crunch, but I actually love that about SG. It means you can sightsee and hunt audio gear at the same time. I actually miss the times the shops were even further spread out, especially around the Orchard area.
She can wear one that says "High Resolution" while I wear one that says "V shaped
.Hello jeanft. This is my dream. I can already see, that i take week of holiday and spend there all the time. Uffff. On the other hand, this would totally ruin me. Maybe not bad, that shop like this are 10 000 Km away from me. If something like this here in Europe, my wife will kill me. Iam sure.Following the recommendations from Kyonnie and Stacey, I was able to spend some time at E-earphones Akihabara in Tokyo and what a store it is! Seven stories packed with headphones, amps, cables and IEMs. Quite amazing. All of the IEMs are on display by categories depending of price, they go from affordable ones to pieces over 100,000 yen. To give you an idea, 100,000 yen is around 700 US dollars. Some have regular connections, some are balanced. They give you little wipes to clean the tips after use. So pro! I used my phone with USB Pro which was not the best source per se but I got an idea of pieces that I had never listened to in the US.
The main entrance. It's not a large store.
+1 for Trailli and 64a Fourté is no slouch too in terms of soundstage
Looks like Storm, Trailli, and Ragnar were the most common answers. How would you all compare AP for details and staging?
Connect IT & E1 were at the opposite ends of Orchard right? Definitely a nice peaceful walk in the evening, stopping by once of the sidewalk vendors for that delicious ice cream samich.Haha, I feel you, man.

The AP has incredible resolution, especially for its sig, which incorporates a good amount of midrange glow/echo/reverb. It rivals the Ragnar in detail with a much harder signature to do it with. But, because it has bigger, more emotive notes that are closer to you, it doesn’t have that distant, cavernous, almost-incoherent presentation you may be looking for.
They were, yeah, but E1 doesn’t exist anymore AFAIK, so it’s just Connect IT and Plaza SG’s Stereo Electronics left in the Orchard-adjacent areas. We used to have Music Sanctuary there, ION Orchard’s Stereo Electronics, plus the two already mentioned. The majority of stuff is either at Zepp or the Adelphi building (Jaben, AV One, Project Perfection).
To tag onto deezel's answer, even between Storm, Traillii and Ragnar the staging is very different. Storm's staging was being recommended with the caveat of an expensive upgrade cable, Storm out of the box has a rather narrow stage but goes quite deep. Traillii is very wide, so much that vocals distinctly sound like it's coming from 2 channels. Ragnar is very holographic but can reach the point of almost sounding hollow depending on the chain you are using. So I think they all achieve what you're looking for but in very different ways.
I brought my girlfriend there, she the best translator! Y’all should include your wives in your hobbies.Please don't forget you have a wife now
This is exactly how I moved on to iems from cans. My wife just kept confiscating cans. "Oh, these sound nice", she said, and poof - cans are no longer mine.
