It’s almost here I can feel it in the air!

Highlights I’m looking forward to:
Expanse vs Susvara
M17 vs new A&K
All the TUBES!!
Lina stack?!?!
Holo May vs TT2 w/ w/o HMS

So many goodies to fiddle with!

Look for probably the tallest bald man at show and say hello!
There’s soooooo much good stuff to demo, my checklist is ridiculous. Absolutely no way I’m gonna get to everything, which is fine. World is still spinning, there’s CanJam NYC in Feb 2023.

BUT I recently bought the Holo May, still waiting for delivery and would love to hear it vs Chord TT2 and DAVE if possible, just for curiosity sake. Any insight on who will have that setup to make a comparison feasible this weekend?

Will Shure demo the SE846 Gen 2?

they’re releasing gen 2?

There will be a gen2?
What Info do you have on it?

My money says Shure will be showing off their shiny new Gen 2 this weekend!

Congrats to the team for what looks like a massive show that perhaps needs to be longer than only 2 days!

Anyway, it appears SE846 Gen 2 is the same monitor to maintain backwards compatibility with accessories, with new shells and a new fourth “extended” sound filter that will not be sold separately, at least not right now

The world exclusive review seems to confirm the same physical design, right now to the o ring on the nozzle that will eventually disintegrate. The review sample o ring already show wear from the photos!

Someone please ask Shure at CanJam to sell or ship out the o ring as a stand-alone multipack. There is an argument that would matter more than a new sound filter, however good it sounds

Peace out :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

(Sub title on the marquee narrates the pending drama) "Will planars continue their recent dominance of dynamics? Or will the Atrium defeat the new kid from the future?!"

Now that it's Friday morning, we can finally talk about yet another incredible new headphone that we weren't allowed to include in the preview, the new Focal Utopia! Check out our discussion on the Utopia's incredible driver, sonic impressions, and some preliminary measurements in the latest Head-Fi TV video before you come audition it at CanJam SoCal.

This year's CanJam is going to be insane...

@warrenpchi inquiring minds want impressions!!!

I’m sitting at home or work all day for my drive up tomorrow morning. Give us some crumbs, Warren!
