As I said in my initial post, I feel the RMAF event will be of benefit to the community. I also do not feel that it will have a major impact on attendance by members or vendors on CanJam'10. Any loss due to some choosing to go to RMAF will likely be more than compensated by increased exposure to a larger audience. My only "concern" and it is minor, has to do with branding. If they are marketed as CanJamA and CanJamB then the inherent message is that they are varients of the same thing and not independent events with their own unique advantages. Perhaps, it is good that I am not in marketing.

My reason for not liking CanJam at RMAF is mainly to differentiate the two events. It's not a big problem AFAIC but I think it helps both events to have unique names. Head-Fi ties both together so the important aspect is to differentiate the event in the minds of potential attendees. While I agree that Head-Fi at RMAF has the potential to dwarf CanJam in terms of numbers, Mathematically (and from headphone/headphone paraphernalia vendors perspective) an RMAF attendee and a CanJam attendee is not a one-to-one relationship.

I do disagree with using the moniker CanJam for this event but otherwise a great development.

Sounds like it was a pretty cool "meet". May need to work on getting the Chicago audiophile society involved in some upcoming events.

It was mostly an example to illustrate that "cut and dry" is in the eye of the beholder if you are paying for a performance. I think the radio royalties to the songwriter make sense, the artist not so much, so I agree with that logic.

Yesterday: Drove from Aiken, SC back to Charleston. IL. Today: Going through accumulated mail. Yeah! The IRS says I do not have to pay taxes on my retirement rollover. Nevertheless, they are still

So if someone samples from 10 songs to create a "new song", who gets paid?

Hmm, do you have a link? I've never heard of the ESS9016 just the 9018 and 9012. Does sound like something to look into.

Had a six hour regulators meeting with DOE, EPA and SCDHEC Then went and ate a whole bunch of sushi. Packed up the apartment for the drive back to IL tomorrow.

Have a crappy birthday cake, CJ.

When you are in Munich check out Kloster Andechs monastery and brewery. Excellent scenery, great food, excellent beers, especially the doppelbach and hefeweizen. Easy to get to via the S-bahn. Just head south on the S-5 toward Hersching and the Amersee.

Happy Birthday young sir.

Happy Birthday Justin.

Happy Birthday

She-crab soup followed by Shrimp and Grits with a sweet Tasso gravy and a side of bleu cheese cole slaw. I love SC.

x3 on both the talent and the head-case. I always was kind of partial to Billy Jean and Bad. RIP Michael.

Drove to Isle of Palms. Checked into the Boardwalk Inn at the Wild Dunes Resort. Hung out by the pool and beach all day drinking Palmetto pale ales. Then we went to dinner. Started off with she-crab soup then shrimp and grits with a side of bleu cheese cole slaw. Washed it down with a couple of Shock Tops. Life is good and so is Priceline.

The Neko can be hard to compare to other DAC's without volume matching. The passive output stage can make it a lot quieter than units with a hotter output. Plus it is one of those components that does not wow on first listen and requires some extended listening to really get a feel for how it performs. Notice, I am being completely uninformative as to my opinion as I feel I need to listen to it more.

See, variation again. I know for a fact that certain biological testing units need whiskey for proper calibration.

Unless you are red-green color blind. On point, individual variation also plays a large part when dealing with biological entities. I will help out on any dbt in any way I can.

Very manly vehicle.

No I think he's a scarecrow, so he needs a brain.
