Hello Roon Community,
I hope you are doing well. I am writing this post to share my experience at my first CanJam. New York City is a great place to host this amazing event. The event location, the Marriott Marquis, is in central Manhattan and is easy to access via mass transit.
The event was a tad overwhelming, as there was just so much audio eye candy. Nevertheless, for someone who loves music, it was nirvana. Every top-end manufacturer that I am familiar with was present. And many others were also on hand to show off their wares.
I rarely have an opportunity to interact with other audiophiles, so I geeked out. I have to say, though, everyone was pretty cool.
