Revelation
The Realiser A16 3D Audio Headphone Processor was the biggest eye-opening experience of the entire CanJam, for me. "How come?", you may ask? For one reason, and one reason only: after listening and being able to compare the speakers' sound with the calibrated headphones, I will forever say that headphones can not only sound like speakers, but depending on the model of headphone, may sound better to your ears. I can say the HD 800's transducers sounded more detailed, rich and slightly more full-in-sound to me than the speakers that were used in calibration. Only caveat: adding a subwoofer to the mix when comparing between headphones and speakers will garner you a whole-body visceral experience that the Realiser can not fully recreate. Using a more bassy headphone with the Realiser will help to bridge the subwoofer/headphone gap. Overall, simply amazeballs! I also went to Bath and Stonehenge while in London – it was a great experience and I would advise going if you are ever in the London area. Here's a few pics from the trip:
Hope you enjoyed the experience, and I'm looking forward to meeting those who can go to next year's CanJam London! You can find me as moedawg140 on Head-Fi.org, or on my YouTube channel, The Journey of HiFi.
