Might as well enjoy the finer things before they end up shutting down all restaurants due to this Corona crap.

...so Grado's?

I posted this a while back somewhere here, Dusty, but these are still available:

Yes, the joke at the time was the ultimate cheap Linn system was an LP12 into two strings attached to tin cans.

I have the JH13freqphase, and it's still a pretty good CIEM. I have tried universals of the Layla and another more expensive and more recent JH unit (don't remember which one), and they sucked. The bass adjustment screw is dreadful — it takes the bass from "ouch my ears" to "I don't know what I'm listening to", and I don't know how to adjust it to sound, you know, like instruments do in real life. I'm not even sure if the reasonably well-tuned JH13 is even still available. My personal opinion: avoid modern JH. In the world of universal IEMs, the Campfire Audio Andromeda is pretty terrific. Everything else CA makes seems to have had problems. CA has a custom, too, and has the advantage of being one of the very few CIEMs with MMCX connectors. I don't know how it sounds. In the world of customs, 64 Audio seems to have been winning a lot of respect. Don't ignore UE also. I remember trying a UE18 universal demo and thinking it sounds nice. Take a look at https://crinacle.com, the site of a respected reviewer in the world of IEMs. He seems to have tried and measured a lot of them. Take with a shovelful of salt as always.

Finally found a good link to the full two-hour Cure set at Glastonbury last year. Obviously highly recommended if you have the time. Imagine having this catalog to rip through?
