CanJam NYC Proves the Audiophile Community Isn’t So Intimidating After All

I have to admit, when I saw the invite come through for the CanJam NYC event, there were some mixed emotions. One of my favorite markets to cover in the consumer tech space is headphones, but I know how serious some followers (and professionals) can be—audiophiles inherently are a little intimidating.

The first New York City-held CanJam exposition, featuring headphone and headphone-related components and other personal audio gear, was Audiophile Central over the February 4th weekend in Times Square’s Marriott Marquis Hotel.

Right smack within  the hustle and bustle of the Theater District of NYC (across from The Lion King on Broadway, very close to Times Square) was the venue for the CANJAM NYC 2017; the 6th Floor of the New York Marriott Marquis Hotel.

Outside of RMAF, this was my first CANJAM. While I am not a headphone kinda guy, I am someone who enjoys seeing people enjoy themselves, especially when its all sorts of people. In this regard, CANJAM ranks right up there with Munich High End, my favorite hi-fi show in the entire world!

Audiophiles United for the First-Ever CanJam NYC

The Marriott Marquis right in Times Square was the scene for the first-ever CanJam NYC tradeshow in the Big Apple. . .CanJam is definitely a place where audiophiles and headphone enthusiasts can come together to learn about, demo, and soak in all of the latest personal audio technology.

CanJam London 2016 Show Report

CanJam London 2016 was a resounding success, and it was great being able to show gear as well as being able to highlight certain equipment that may not have been listened to. Meaning, if you weren’t able to listen to certain equipment that I brought, you can read my thoughts on some of the equipment a little later in this impressions post.

Being a traditional ‘Hi-Fi’ type, I’ve never been to a dedicated headphone show before, so this was a new experience for me – and an informative one too. The first observation I had was that CanJam [is] a very different type of show to the typical Hi-Fi event. . . Visitors can get round a lot more in the day, simply because everything is so close, and because you can see everything it allows you to pick the display that has a listening station available – no waiting in queues to listen to a system in a crowded room. This all seems to change the dynamic of the show with visitors appearing to be far more relaxed and unhurried.

US billionaire Warren Buffett likes to note how little advantage his considerable wealth secures him over the average person. . . All the other luxuries out in the world are valueless to Mr. Buffett, but I would venture to suggest one that he might be interested in: the $130,000 MSB Select DAC and headphone amplifier combo, the world’s most expensive headphone system. . . there’s a degree of advanced engineering that means spending ridiculous sums of money gets you ridiculous performance in return. My experience of listening to the MSB Select setup at CanJam London this weekend just reaffirmed that belief.
