Yamaha YH-5000SE (on RME ADI-2) - Upon arriving Saturday morning around 10am, I snapped a photo or two and then immediately beelined to Audio46, where I knew that the most exciting audition of my weekend awaited, the Yamaha YH-5000SE. I hit probably around 25 or so booths, but here are the more notable experiences:Īudio46 Booth (Yamaha YH-5000SE, A&K CA1000T): One event that I have now come to look forward to tremendously on an annual basis is CanJam NYC while other audio/hifi shows have their merits, there is certainly something special about this one.so much so that I'm quite tempted to make the trip to Chicago and SoCal this year to keep the magic going!īrevity is not my strong suit, but I will try and keep my impressions concise and limited (try, and fail I did lol). Hints as to which three seminars I attended. I am now very balanced when using a convolution filter based on the Harmon Curve while reviewing some headphones. All were very worthwhile and I learned many things in each one. I managed to attend three informative sessions. Attending any of these seminars, besides being a great way learn about this wonderful hobby, gives one a chance to take a break from listening and thus helps to avoid listening fatigue. The future is here today!ĬanJam offers a full slate of seminars throughout both days. Their true wireless earphones are using bleeding edge technology to push what's possible forward like no other product. Another forward thinking company is Ear Micro. The dcS Lina stack is one such product with a cutting edge DAC that can be updated as needed.

Bravo! The headphone amp at the Spirit Torino table was drop dead gorgeous.Ī mention is also in order to the manufacturers who are working tirelessly to push the technology forward. ZMF, Spirit Torino and Ear Micro all make excellent sounding products that look as good as they sound. Lots of fun everyone, especially the lucky winners.Īnother shout out to those manufacturers who take the extra effort required to turn their products into works of art. A big shout out to and Audio46 for their very generous giveaways.
