Welcome back to my coverage of CanJam NYC 2026.
I would like to extend special thanks to Noble Audio for making this coverage possible, not only do they make incredible IEMs and now Headphones, they have always been a great supporter of the Personal Audio community in general, often sponsoring our coverage of these events
MIMIC AUDIO

MIMIC AUDIO is an online audio retailer who began life as a custom audio cable manufacturer. I caught them a little early in the day, which may account for the slightly chaotic layout, but they represented quite a few impressive lines, including a North American exclusive for the Nur Harmonia Planar Headphone ($3,750). For electronics the Audiobyte SuperHEAD Headphone Amplifier ($4,500) seemed quite intriguing.


ETA AUDIO

Sharing the room with MIMIC AUDIO was ETA AUDIO, who were showcasing their ETA AUDIO ULI Headphone ($3,499) and Straitwire x ETA AUDIO Bravo Point to Point wired Triode Tube Amp ($2,900).

Requisite Audio

RAAL/Requisite now operating as Requisite Audio, perhaps to accommodate their expanded product line with demonstrating the RAAL 1995 Magna Dual Ribbon Driver Headphones ($6,270) and RAAL 1995 Immanis Triple Ribbon Driver Headphones ($9,460) with the Allnic Audio D-15000 OTL/OCL DAC ($26,400) and the Allnic Audio HPA15000 OTL/OCL Headphone Amplifier ($19,800).

SYMPHONIUM AUDIO

The eye catchers at SYMPHONIUM AUDIO were the Symphonium X Elise Audio Zenith 4 driver IEM ($1,799) featuring a TrueX™ 4-Way Crossover and the Prisma Lumen 1 dynamic and 4 BA driver IEM ($1,300), also sporting a four-way crossover.




MELODIC ARTIFICATION

What lured me into the MELODIC ARTIFICATION booth was the fact that they provide humidity controlled cases for their headphone/portable amplifier combinations. Claiming the world’s first pure beryllium composite diaphragm planar magnetic headphones, which are available as an over-ear open back, the MELODIC ARTIFICATION INFINITUM (TBA) or IEM the MELODIC ARTIFICATION ETERNITUM (TBA), both systems making their world debut at CanJam NYC 2026.



That concludes my coverage of CanJam NYC 2026. Once again, I would like to extend special thanks to Noble Audio for making this coverage possible.
