Canjam NYC 2023 - Quick Impressions

Please note all impressions take place in a busy convention hall (aside from the dCS room) so take it FWIW.
Thanks to Hifi X-Man, mere11di, orrm, and Natesdailies from Head-Fi for their imagery.

The best voice in the audiophile world :)

[@MidFiGuy]

Need to start that ASMR channel one day... 😆

[@gibgun]

Mark Ruffalo with some EQ 😂

[@evshrug]

Gosh darn it @Mid-Fi Guy, you just did an excellent job covering the CanJam. That was a FAST 9.5 minutes! 👍

[@MidFiGuy]

I had a big headache on the way home after roughly 5 hours of listening without any lunch lol! Was a great time, sorry I missed you this year!

[@evshrug]

@@MidFiGuy I’m very sorry too. First CanJam NYC I missed, actually! But your videos seem to be very reliable where my own efforts fall short 😂♥️

[@garciaclark-ve4jx]

Thanks for the ongoing commitment.

[@turboguzar]

Great review mate! If you can give an advise, HA-6 or Bliss, which one is more suitable for planners? Thanks in advance!

[@juneguts]

Thank you! I can't afford any of these summit-fi options, however, as with most people in life, I have dreams >:3

[@MidFiGuy]

It's totally fun to play with an Abyss on the dCS Lina stack. Doesn't mean I'll ever afford it, but fun nonetheless 😁

[@evshrug]

I once said the same about $200 headphones, then that I could never justify a $1000 headphone, then that I could never buy a second kilobuck headphone, much less an expensive 3rd party headphone cable… never say never! Not to brag, but eventually I blew past all my expectations, and I’m extremely grateful to have had the chance to have some wonderful and special experiences to enhance my life.

[@theodorezurla496]

Wish I saw you there! Great show

[@MidFiGuy]

Wish I was able to attend both days, but from the sounds of it Saturday was crazy. Next time!

[@theodorezurla496]

@@MidFiGuy you still got that GSX mini!? I got one based on your review 🔥

[@MidFiGuy]

@@theodorezurla496 I sold it and kept the Wells Audio Milo. The gsx was so good but in the end I went for the warmer and rich Milo.

At a local audio show last week I heard the Dcs Lina stack with the Utopias 2022, sound texture was amazing but a bit too smooth. They also had a BlissKte/MayKte combo with LCD-5 and MM-500... quite a nice blend of musicality and detail retrieval. I prefer my Denafrips Artemis that I find has better overall balance but the Bliss has more impact and dynamics. What really stole the show for me was the Yamaha YH-5000SE headphones. Unbelievable clarity and details while being musical !

[@halimj7]

What is that on top of the eneleum? Great video.

[@MidFiGuy]

It's Enleum's portable amp. Didn't get the chance to try it.

[@joseluishernandezseptien]

Wow! So much gear in 9:29 min! Impressive and informative. Thank you! Did you try the Bravura?

[@MidFiGuy]

Thank you! Only had half of Sunday to get through all that I did, hopefully next time!

[@joseluishernandezseptien]

@@MidFiGuy it's ok. You covered a lot already :) thank you for sharing

[@kajetan9550]

How was the enleum portable amp? It grabs a lot of attention recently, but I haven’t seen any impressions yet

[@MidFiGuy]

I'm not really in the market for a portable rig unfortunately so I kind of glossed over it. Hopefully others will share their impressions.

[@user-ku7xi3sl7p]

Vocals have a good amount of thickness for both females and males without being overly thick or thin.

[@Nuevo_El_Nagual]

HE-1 demo was so special. Very unexpected.

[@MidFiGuy]

Nice videos!! Glad you were able to enjoy it 🙌

[@alexl8328]

Glad you still like the Chord TT2/mscaler, especially compared to the $30k Lina setup! Unfortunately, I could not make the show again this year. Catch up with you soon?

[@MidFiGuy]

Sorry you had to miss it this year dude. Trying to plan a head-fi mini meet possibly next month. Let's catch up then 👍

[@dleblanc343]

Wish you checked out the A-T W2022!

[@MidFiGuy]

The AT booth was full whenever I went past! Would love to hear it at some point

[@user-lp5qg1ry6x]

Hello sir

[@tariqaziz6551]

Hi @midfiguy did you video the Chord Electronics presentation this year? @MidFiGuy

[@leonidbilousov6461]

I saw that you haven’t posted in 7 months, but your videos are amazing and I watched most of them, and it’s a big shame that there are not much subscribers and views, and comments, you are so much more worth, please post something and maybe try to also have TikTok instagram or something to be in “trends”
