If one item caught your eye at CanJam Dallas 2023 it would be the Metaxas & Sins Ethereal Electrostatic Dual Mono Amp/Energizer ($32,000). Yes, Metaxas & Sins is back with their particular blending of Art and Audiophile sound quality. Coupled with the Metaxas & Sins Tourbillon T-RX Reel to Reel Tape Deck ($36,000) and paired with both the legendary Dan Clark Audio CORINA Electrostatic Headphones ($4,499) and the STAX SR-X9000 Electrostatic Earspeakers ($6,199) the experience was mind-blowing. They were also demonstrating the beautiful Metaxas & Sins Marquis Headphone Amp ($7,500).

The mating of the new ZMF headphones HOMAGE Solid State Amplifier ($999.99) to their equally new ZMF headphones BOKEH Closed-Back Headphone ($1,099), featuring a Liquid Crystal Polymer driver and available in a plethora of configurations, was a marriage made in heaven, the sound was musical and natural.

![CanJam Dallas 2023 - WOO AUDIO/STAX](https://headphone.guru/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/05woo.jpg)
Once again, WOO AUDIO shared one of the separate listening rooms with STAX to show off their epic electrostatic headphone amplifiers, like the 3ES Electrostatic Headphone Amplifier ($6,999), and launch their new TUBE Mini Docking Station (TBA) to match their amazing new TUBE mini Balanced Headphone Amplifier / DAC ($499). Also catching a lot of eyes was the beautiful WA23 LUNA Headphone Amplifier ($8,999), a perfect choice for those non-electrostatic reference headphones. Audio historians will also note that there was also a pair of STAX SR-1 Electrostatic Earspeakers on display, the headphone that started it all as the first audiophile headphone over sixty years ago back in 1960.
