too bad the price for the lite modification is up to $299 now. :~
interesting that the lite mod went from 199 -> 249 -> 299, while it looks like the full mod has stayed at $399 the whole time?
edit: maybe the full mod price has increased as well and the website is just out of date.
Website is out of date. When I ordered he said the full mod was not going to be offered anymore due to manufacturing difficulties.... also I believe the lite mod is still 249? Maybe it went up... it was 249 for me.

No idea. Best way is to email Rhydon, he's pretty responsive ime. Mine was a whole new cycle, and what ended being a new version (thought I was getting V2 2nd batch), and it ended up taking a few months. I'd be prepared to wait, but it could be shorter.

How do you like the A5s? Was thinking about getting the A7(x)s at some point if I don't build something myself.did you have the v1 and v2 magnums before?
I like the A5s a lot, but they are a bit bright for my liking, and don't go low enough as well. I really am interested in the A7x, or A8x (uber loudness plz).
I did not have the V1/V2 Magnums, this is the first time I've heard the Magnum.

The clarity and soundstage on these Magnums is beautiful. I am loving them. They are definitely bassier than neutral though. I like it, though I think on some songs I could do with a bit less bass. Mental burn-in FTW hopefully
-
Very long, haha. There were definitely many delays. Though I have to say the communication was always good and he upgraded me to overnight shipping for free. I'm really happy with these. They are spectacular so far. I like them better than my JH-13's.

anyone use the jh-13 portably with the pico slim? line-out or just straight out of the HP port?
how big of a difference does it make? considering getting a pico slim myself to pair with sansa clip+ and jh-13
-
Some sort of an hybrid, it will be a custom generic a soft comply tip but made off my impressions.
Customer services is definably improved, this noy guy is really very responsive.
so do you have to adjust it every time you put it on like a generic?
-
Good news for those going for refits or buying new, noy who used to work with jerry on UE for 7 years is back to the team.
More info plz? Noy is a custom mold fitting god? Please yes. I want to send my back soon.

Magnum ordering has re-opened. He is only doing the Lite version this time, for $300 and of course cost of the Grados you want to mod. I put in my order with a 325is
Also said 3-4 weeks to ship out Magnum after he gets the Grados.
Correction to this, $249 for Lite + all the other cost. I just ordered mine with the 325is. Pretty excited.

Oh man. I google'd to see how much it costs, only to find out it's a joke image. That would be awesome!!

Newegg.com - Rosewill 2.1 ch High Quality Speaker - Arc Horn Style Designed Model RNA-SYM
$20 shipped (reg price is $50) for what could be some pretty good portable usb laptop speakers.
-
Great case for sale today $35 shipped. Never owned one myself but I have had a cheaper Rosewill that I absolutely loved. Looking at the specs of this case, it should be pretty amazing as well, with very good cooling options. Some NF-P14's and ZM-F3's and a fan controller would make for a silent but great cooling case. Tempted to get one myself but I would have no use for it.

Still sounding great. The sense of realism is startling and the sound staging is better than any IEM I have ever heard, I do not get the in your head blob effect.
However I am sure I need to send them in for a refit unfortunately. The right ear specifically. The upper part of the IEM, that one that forms a lock with the part of your ear they call the "helix" doesn't quite lock in, and makes it stick out a bit further than the perfectly helix locked left IEM. The right IEM in general looks thicker and bulkier,not as cleanly cut as the left IEM which is weird, especially around the upper part of the iem. The bores could probably be thickened just a bit as well to provide a tighter seal and stay put, especially the right ear since I can pop it out by turning my head to the right or doing the goofy ass smile test.
They do sound fantastic as long as I am looking straight on and not doing funky goofy shit with my face or mouth. So I am happy with my purchase and hopefully Adam and crew can take care of my refit, I sent an email over the weekend and would imagine they get back in the office Tuesday.
Edit: the part of my ear I am referring to is actually called the concha according to wikipedia and yahoo. The helix is the outer part of the ear, the anti helix is the prominent part that runs parallel with it, and that cavity under the anti helix is the concha, and it is the upper groove area of the concha which the IEM apparently is supposed to sort of groove inside there and create a lock.
Wait can some people super smile (or any other facial contortion) and not have the JH's move? If so, I am really jealous, but more hopeful of a perfect fit.

Yep didn't last long, me picking up three probably didn't help much.
Not a deal but Woot just announced they've been acquired by Amazon: Woot : Amazon, Woot, and You: But Mostly Woot

Samsung Spinpoint F3 1Tb for $46.99, it's an open box deal but FWIR the warranty still applies. Probably won't last long, these are really great hard drives, my personal favorite storage drives -- fast, reliable, and quiet.

Just returned from Best Buy where I had a Zagg front and back invisible shield installed for $8 (plus cost of shield).
They installed it for you? That's pretty awesome and well worth the trip to best buy if so IMO. I've seen people installing those get really stressed out.

Verizon iPhone in January, claims Bloomberg -- Engadget
Seems to jive with AT&T raising early termination fees on iPhones and moving up people's upgrade dates.

Yeah I haven't found a comfortable way to use it in bed when I'm flat on my back. This was how I used my laptop frequently, and it was quite easy since the keyboard hinge rested on my chest and supported it all. Grip might be the problem... rubber case could work. I was thinking it'd be nice if a case had a built-in glove or something to hold your hand.
This seems like a very promising rubber case, with hinged stands for angled use: quirky | Cloak iPad Case

Hmmm, my guess is that now that it's officially V3, he is going to bump the price. When I ordered mine it was presumably for V2, so I got the price all the previous V2 people paid. V3 was unexpected....
At $299 still think it's a really good deal, esp. if you have a decent Grado sitting around that you never use.
