1.) Unless you know what you want to see, hear, and buy, get a multi-day pass.

2.) Write down what interests you on at least three sheets of paper, labeled headphones, in-ears or earbuds, and DACs or Amps.

3.) If you can get the vendor list and map before the event, write down which interested item is at their assigned vendor table, which room/hall they reside, and which floor and building the room/hall can be found. Otherwise, you can wait until the first day of the event to do this as well.

4.) Once you know where you are going, make note of all the bathrooms, elevators, and stairways around your intended visiting areas. Making note of where restaurants, cafes, and corner stores are is also useful.

5.). If you intend to check out any scheduled seminars or mini-meets, make sure you put an alert(s) on your phone, or write it down on a sheet of paper and keep some kind of watch.

6.) Keep a backpack with you, so you can have a place to put stuff with you. If you want to make comparisons, do not bring more than one headphone, earbud/IEM set, portable DAC/Amp, DAP, or anything used for comparison.

7.) If areas get crowded, please use good judgement and be polite. If you want to demo something and that area is crowded, make sure that there is a line or not. If there is a line, get in it and once it is your turn with others behind you, do not take more than five minutes or one song, as others are waiting and you can get back in line. If there is not a line, ask the person behind the table if you can demo the item. If there is no person behind the table or they are busy, please wait a minute or two, until they can help you.

8.) Do not be a slob and leave cups, bottles, plates, napkins, or other trash on tables or other places that trash does not belong. This also goes with brochures and other vendor info pieces, which go into your backpack.

9.) If you followed all of the above tips, then you can enjoy the show for what it is worth.

Thank you. Very good tips. I actually started checking exhibitors sites for their products with some brands i’m not familiar with. Also I’m hoping shangri-la and orpheus sign-ups will be made available.

I will add, definitely bring your own eartips for trying out IEMs(better to use your favorite tips than random offer from vendor) and micro SD card filled with your testing tracks, so you can try all the new portable players. Including the Shanling one :wink:

Good too, since I’m very picky with tips. Will bring a case with some of my faves. While I am not in the market for daps (already have 6 or 8), i’ll drop by and go to the booth. Would it be ok to video? I want to do an fb live for my friends/group back home. You can do plugs as we have a few followers of shanling here in the Philippines :wink:.

If you want to listen to a DAC or Amp bring your own headphones. I made that mistake during my first CanJam and I regretted it. I didn't make that mistake this year! Also, feel free to talk to everybody! Lastly, wear comfy shoes.

Yes will do. Hoping my UERR arrives soon.

Nope. I spoke to them, they say it is not an ideal environment, not even in a quite room.
So HE1 will not be there at CanJam SG as per my knowledge
then I'm lucky to have tried it out last year

Hi @third_eye

I just came across this event
IMG_20180312_181724_991.jpg
on facebook hosted by "Head-Fi.Club" and it falls on the exact same time as CanJam. Is Head-fi.Club in any way related to Head-Fi and Canjam? Is it an exclusive club for big name Head-Fi members only? And is this event an extension of CanJam? I see prominent brands like Campfire Audio and Effect Audio supporting this event.

Please let me know if this is part of CanJam as I would not want to miss any new products

doubt this is part of canjam event, it's something like their own micro event for that couple things, which i think will be available at the event too

No, that is most certainly not in any way affiliated with CanJam, nor is "Head-Fi.club" associated with Head-Fi. I've asked @Goh Beng Yeow (who also goes by @Beng Yeow) -- who has been using the "Head-Fi.club" name -- to stop using "Head-Fi" because (as happened here) it has caused confusion. However, he has insisted on continuing to use it, as I think that's exactly the kind of confusion he wants.

Thank you Jude for clearing up the confusion. That is not very nice of him, and I’m shocked by how he has received support from some of the big brands, even some of your sponsors like Alo/Campfire Audio and Effect Audio like I have mentioned above.

I will support Head-Fi all the way! I hope to see you at CanJam Singapore!
