I have a Henckel knife set with 2 serrated blades.
one for bread and one serrated 5" utility/Tomato Slicer knife.
They are absolutely fabulous knives. They are a pain to sharpen, but well worth it when sharp and used properly. Even though they are serrated, they are sharp as Razors. They are hollow ground serrations.

edwood sold his k1000s after getting his jh13sPeter (Iron Dreamer) sold his AT-L3000s after getting JH-13s.I sold my R10s after getting JH13s. Due to the my happiness with the jh13s and the amount of headtime they were getting, I no longer wanted/needed two high-end full-size rigs at home.
So Vicki was holding the Ace of Spades in this line of reasoning...
Only leaves dying and going to Heaven...

Thanks folks, I might take the plunge. Going to Win7-64 is a good excuse to get that 4Gb RAM upgrade I've been hankering for as well
I'm running Win 7 x64 on my laptop and it's solid as a rock. ZERO problems ever. Vista, what were they thinkin' when they released that POS! No comparison to 7.

My email address is valid, but while my status is similar to that of a grad student I am not technically a student, and cannot provide proof of enrollment if requested.
Wonder what the chances are that they will check......?
Chances are ZERO, IMO
They are using edu addresses as verification. (You order with that email address)
In the past, they didn't even do that. They just asked the name of the school.

Or the 13s vs the 11s?
Well, in THAT case...
It's MOAR DRIVERS!
-
going purely off of Jude's review and others opinions, the 16s are the 13s with moar bass. could be a cool thing to have with the 3A, since you have the bass adjustment. that way you could crank up the slam if need be.
the way I look at it, if I was going just plain old headphone, 13. headphone and 3A, 16.
I have a couple songs that were unbearable with Darth Beyers for the short time I had them, I'll make sure I listen to those.

That's because the 13s are perfect
C'mon, Les. You know you want some.
I saw your review a while back...
It's been bugging me ever since...
I think since I am close to them(JHAudio), I'll drive up and have them fitted and I can audition the 13's and 16's with the demo setup.
If the 13's are perfect, are the 16's perfect'er?
-
CJ could have them a little behind as well, I would imagine. Wish I had continued to ignore this thread! Really has me thinking...
I haven't seen much of a comparison of the 13's vs the 16's?

OK - just done the tube sockets from DIY HiFi Supply. $7 discount for more than $100, then a very reasonable $7 shipping charge across the pond.
Punished massively by PayPay who did a $1.416 exchange rate. The UKP is worth diddly squat; great for exporters and seriously bad news for importers
How much you reckon you'll have in parts when you're all in, excluding tubes.

The Pelican's and the Egret's have enough oil now to form their own Oil Cartel...

If you are near-sighted, when you hit about 45 you won't be able to
wear contacts anymore. You will see what i mean when you get there.
All current solutions stink.
That's a BIG "INDEED" on that!
I remember when I would work on things with my Dad, like cars and such. He would get so pissed off and frustrated because he had trouble seeing things. He had 20/10 vision most of his life and then middle age hit.
I have a high appreciation now that I'm there! I spend a lot of time looking at different ways to magnify and light things!
Your pupil diameter capabilities start decreasing after 40 as well as your lens loses it's ability to change it's shape and thus you lose "accommodation" for different focal distances. The pupil changes make it where you have difficulty seeing in darkness or even shade for that matter. I do a lot of car work, and this is driving me nutz!

There's a world of difference between providing a reflective surface over the entire opening/grill (your hand) and the dot that Jacob was experimenting with. You guys are arguing about essentially nothing. One of you tested one thing, the other another, albeit with wildly different methodologies but the fact that one heard a difference and the other didn't is entirely irrelevant in this case.
I would think the Grado dot would be reflective and restrictive.
My suggestion with the hand is that you don't have to cover the cups to hear the effect. You can move your hands in and out and hear the effect some distance from the cup opening. The sound change is quickly appreciated as your hands move in and out.
But anyhow, whatever...
-
for fuck's sake. double blind > whatever-you-say-boss. fuck off, now, before i get angry. anti-science motherfucker.
Go ahead and get angry
I'm certainly not anti-science, quite the contrary.
But hearing an effect for yourself that is easily demonstrable ain't bad either. You don't have to be a blind man to hear what I described above.
-
you have no idea if that's the case. might as well claim that gremlins appear.
Well, what I'm saying is have you done this? If you do, you don't have to be a Golden Eared Wonder Boy to hear it. Put em on and start bringing your hands close to the cups. Any restriction to out flow causes them to do a strange Honking kinda noise. If you want, go straight to hands over the cups and move them out. I would be amazed if you don't hear this. Covering the back of the cups makes them un-listenable.
-
double blind.
Heh, no, eyes wide open!
I just move my hands close to them. The change is pretty striking. If you cover the backs of Grados, the drivers sound like they'll explode. They really sound like you'll damage them.
-
My experience with Grados is the opposite of yours. Any thing that increases back pressure in the chamber makes them sound strange, very quickly. Grado makes the Grate more breathable and less restrictive when you go from the 125 to the 225 Grados for this very reason. Just bringing your hands close to the cups makes the sound change immensely.

I believe that I heard an Airbow at the Colorado '08 meet which was woodied by Headphile, and listened through my GES and SRM-1 Mk2 Pro. I posted that the mids sounded a bit recessed to me and the phones were a little on the bright side, which reminded me more of an SR-Lambda Pro. That was in comparison to my SR-Lambda. Did those belong to anyone here? Maybe Elephas?
I don't think those sounded anything like the SR-404LE that I bought last year, which were a little darker with smoother mids than my SR-Lambda (less etch). While I didn't compare them directly, I've compared both to the same pair of SR-Lambda as my reference. Did the Headphile mods cause that much of a change in the sound, that it no longer sounded like a 404LE?
Headphile is quick to point out that they Manufacture Art and not headphones, gotta Love that...

I always miss my GS1000s. I am so fully aware of their sonic flaws but I can't help but want to own a pair and smell those bagel pads. because they smell great.
Bagel Sniffing Fetish!
You need to get that Monkey off your back, no good will come of it!
