Great news - I was able to talk Grace from Advanced Acousticwerkes into doing a US tour of their famous hybrid dynamic/BA CIEMs. We have all heard the praises being given the W500 and wonder stories about the newly released W900. Now we get to hear them for ourselves. Grace even offered up two new surprises that will not be announced until CANJAM Singapore for a total of four demos in the tour kit. If you are interested, please speak up now as I am opening up for participants. The rules and requirements for becoming a member are listed below.
