Agreed. Been there many times for work trips and love it. Now if we can only gain access to the same level of audiophilia gear as our west coast cousins more east, that would be a beauty. Only Bay Bloor Radio offers high end gear and even then, tough to make it down there at any given time, and even more so with COVID.

Would travel down to the states to try IEMs / Audio gear. Vancouver resident here. Do you know if Seattle has any decent Hifi stores?

No idea, but traveling to the US to try out IEMs is probably not in the cards for me. :)

Have you not been to Headfoneshop? Where in Ontario are you located?

I haven't. I'm a little more 'north' of Toronto in Aurora. I just checked out their website. Nice, didn't even know about them. Do they have demo units to test out?

Yes they have over ear headphones as well as a few sources. If you see anything on the site, I would call ahead and ask Travis (the owner) if he has it on demo.

You're thinking of Headphone Bar in Vancouver-- Headfone Shop in Toronto is the store being discussed here.

They do buddy. If ever you come down lemme know. I'll introduce you to the owner. I'm pretty much there almost every week when I have time.

Dude, I totally know that area haha. I recognized a few of the food shops there in the Google pictures. Been in that plaza so many times and never saw it.

I’m surprised you haven’t seen it 😂

It’s right beside a tattoo studio. When was the last time you went in?

At least a year ago. When we all went into lockdown, there was little to no reason for me to be in the area anymore :/ Also, its tougher now that I've got a toddler and another baby on the way to get that 'alone' time and just leisurely stroll down to audition some gear. Hah

Well rest assured you've all got 5 of the best IEMs currently available heading your way to demo via this tour.

I'm going to mail out the Fir kit sometime next week and once that happens I'll post a picture of the kit in the same post as the VE kit.

Fir Audio tour list posted here.

If you don't see your name in either tour and are expecting to it's likely because you haven't reached out to me directly. I do not add or delete anyone by proxy-- proper direct communication, via email, text or PM-- is a must for me.

Looking forward to it. These are my first tours to try out TOTL IEMs. I'm so stoked. Never would I have the means to try them before I really take the plunge. This is a real treat so thanks again for organizing!
