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.

This is very good tips for preparing yourself before attending CanJam or any HeadFi meets.

I'll share some of my preparation work when I used to run around in shows and events ... too bad I can't do that anymore. :tired_face:

Bring your music with you, it doesn't need to be a very long list, try to limit to 10 or maximum 20 songs only. Put the same set of music into a TF card and a USB thumb drive, and bring a TF to SD adapter with you, this should cover a lot of audition opportunity already. Your audition will be a lot more efficient if you can use music that you are familiar with, and standardize the choice of music across all auditions in the event might sound boring but will allow you to compare gears effectively.

If you intend to audition DAC or headphone amplifier in this event, bring a pair of headphone with you. Ideally the headphone should be something that you are familiar with, a closed back with good isolation, terminated in 4pin XLR and carry a XLR to 6.35mm adapter cable so that you can plug into most if not all headphone amplifiers. I used Alpha Dog as my show audition headphone I join Cayin.

If you intend to audition DAP or portable DAC/Amp in this event, bring a pair of IEM with you. If you have a CM in your collection, that would be your default choice because you of better isolation. You can try out as many IEM as possible during an audition, but you should have at least one common IEM used across all audition on that day.

Bring a DAP with you if you are into portables. Bring as many adapter.cables with you as possible so that you can use the DAP as source, both digital and analogue:
Line out: 3.5mm to 2x RCA, 3.5mm to 3.5mm (analogue),
digital: USB cable for digital connection, coaxial or optical cable if your DAP supports that

Unfortunately, we probably can't make it to CanJam SoCal this year. We have a tight schedule on April and we are aiming at several new products in May.

We haven't confirm our show schedule in second half of 2018 yet, it really depends on the schedule of our new product, If we didn't slip our schedule again, we probably will bring another new product to RMAF. :beerchug:

One of my favorite demos in London a year and a half ago. Highly advisable to get your spot in if you haven’t already!
