Well. It is 12:30 am and I am hungry again. It's New York City, it is 27 degrees outside. I need to find me a slice of pizza. Gotta do it in the City that never sleeps.

I have a question as a newbie who's attending for the first time this year.
If I'm bringing my own headphones to test amps etc. and A/B-ing against other cans, is it weird to walk around with their large cases (the LCD-5s for example)? Or is there a place to temporarily store them, and how are our fellow veterans dealing with taking their favorite headphones with them?

Thx!

I carry all of my gear in my back pack. I bring down to the show floor as much as my back pack will hold and then swap out other stuff later if I have too much.

People will be bringing their pelican cases with them. You won't be out of place doing it. In fact, you will be the cool guy carrying it.

Sorry if this has been answered already, but where precisely I'm the marriot is the event? I arrived earlier today and realized just how big this place is

staff will be checking CanJam attendees' proof of vaccination on the 3rd floor, and issuing bracelets upon completion of the check. CanJam attendees will then proceed to the 6th floor to check in at the CanJam NYC Registration Desk.

I also modded my HD800S with the HD820 pads (mostly due to comfort reasons, it was a day-long painful process and included the noble sacrifice of a set of third party pads for their mechanisms) so I'll be bringing that with me as well and hopefully compare with an unmodded pair, as the third party mechanism fits extremely tight and can tear the faceplate right off, and I cannot a/b them as swapping them takes more than 10 minutes at a time.

Hopefully my backpack has room for both lol

Got my slices. 1:15 am. Went to Carve Sandwiches which is on 47th St and 8th Ave. It's my go to when I stay at the Marriott Marquis. Glad to see it made it. It was packed tonight. Feels like NYC is heading back to normal. Nothing in the world like eating NY Pizza after midnight while listening to Maroon 5.

Tommorow night you gatta try Joe's, their pizza was legendary! The question tho is what Maroon 5 Song or Album was on your playlist tonight haha

I'll drop some teaser shots from my evening as well! Most impressive for me was the Mytek Empire with the Utopia, but equally as seductive was the Border Patrol DAC with our HeadAmp GS-X Mini. I swear putting a well designed tube DAC behind our lil Class A power house always seems to just elevate it that much more, it was really quite difficult for me to step away and stop listening tonight!! Can't wait to hear everyone's thoughts tommorow on both!!!!

Chilling on NJ Transit heading to Penn Station. Listening to Marta Sanchez's new release SAAM. Absolutely fantastic.
Will be at CanJam by 9am to pickup my badge and t-shirt. Manning the registration desk from 2 to 6 this afternoon.
If you need a break from all that auditioning stop by and say hello. Hopefully I will be able to stream the NY Rangers game on my iPad

I had my Maroon 5 playlist on. It starts with Sugar, then Girls Like You, then What Lover's do....

I'll have to try Joe's. I'll admit that I've never been there.
