CanJam NYC 24: Audio Technica's $108,000 tube headphone amp/can package!

First up at CanJam 2O24, we got a private sneak peek at Audio Technica’s new $108,000 NARUKAMI HPA-KG NARU tube headphone amplifier and ATH-AWKG closed-back dynamic wooden headphones! The company developed this package over a period of 10 years and it was inspired by Japanese culture and craftsmanship. The chassis and headphones are constructed of a unique revered wood that’s found only in Japan.

Thank you for this. ❤

[@shawnpwatsons1]

I need this for my downstairs half-bathroom.

[@johannbogason1662]

Only $108,000!
Pfitt, an uncle of my late grandmother has a $2.000.000 headphone amp!

How did you like the Koragaki Headphones with the Narukami Amplifier Howard?

[@christopherspiro9857]

108,000 -come on! Really!

[@danieljung2810]

No way. Unless all the gold on there is 24 karat. The price seems more like marketing fluff.

[@Megamare1]

Hey for that price I just might order two
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@JOJOSSTAR1]

I just heard the headphones on their own and they blew me away.

[@francesanderson]

How to order? Is there a waiting list/build time? I want to compare it to my Sennheiser Orpheus HE90 / HEV90 (1991 release).

[@patrickritter9986]

There is an Inquire Section on the Audio-Technica page. Build time is around a year.

[@andreaaaaaaa574]

Please make a comparison video

[@scottprice8994]

Only $108,000? Ha ha
Does it make me breakfast and take out the trash?

[@joerusso4219]

Seems like overkill to me. How much better can this be than the equipment they use in a recording studio where the content is recorded.
