The Monkey

Has USPS been screwed up in NH the last few days?

Will do. And you're not the boss of me.

A bunch of Electrelane stuff.

Listening to the TTVJ Portable right now. Setup is iMod-->TTVJ-->JH13. Very preliminary impressions are that it sounds damn good. The JH13s don't need an amp but they sure do like one. Moar bass quantity with the same extension, and without congestion. Also the iPod is black and the JH13 muddy water blue, so that probably adds to the nice bass. Full impressions after the ALO iMod LOD has burned in for 2 years.

Thanks! Just a bit darker, I think, especially in darker ambient surroundings, but the pic is pretty close.

Muddy Water Blue.

extension = excellent (think stats) quantity = very good (er, think stats) I guess I want some mid-bass hump. You can take the boy out of mid-fi...

-10 sense of humor points for me.

Disagree. Fit is pretty much right on. Could be an amp issue, though.

I'm with you Guillaume. And I think it's very close to the O2 KGSS combo. But I think that IEMs benefit from just a bit more of a bump. But it's just a matter of taste. The JH 21.2 should do the trick.

I still wish they had a touch more bass.

Good man.

Just a quick note. I just got home after a 2.5 hour bus ride. I listened to the JH13 straight from the iPhone for about 1/3 of it. The time whizzed by. One thing I've noticed about the JH13 is the immersive quality of it. I can really zone out with these things. But they're not in the least bit boring. And the soundstage is unlike any I have heard. That's part of what I mean when I say "immersive." I don't feel like I'm in the audience. I feel like I'm on the fucking drum kit. That's awesome.

You fine fellows seem to have mistaken this for the "I'm not hungover, so there" thread.

good god, I feel awful today. Spent a very fun night with my wife and parents. But paying the price today, as the Little Monkey thought it appropriate to wake up at 6:45. Still, worth it to see my mom rock out to Rock Band.

I hear the SQ is a bit splashy.

Uh-oh, watchit Jobsy. bperboy gonna open up a can of whupass.

Got tennis elbow from the Wii.

On vacation. Needed to do work. Turned out to be much more work than client let on, and it was a half-assed piece that was turned in to me for review. Fucking typical. Plugged in the JH13s to the iPhone for some tunes while ripping the document to shreds. Normally I get distracted by headphones while working. Not tonight. The JH13s got me in the zone, so to speak. I don't have much to say about them specifically in terms of sonics other than they made it enjoyable to smack around a piece of shit work product. Still wondering about the fit, but it's close and I still have a cold. The JH13s are good.

Al, you're a rock star and you know it.

Happy Birthday.

What strikes me is the colossal ineptitude this shows on the part of management. Internal audit? Risk management? Was she the CFO?

Drove out to my parents' place in the Hamptons. Here for the week. Moar wine!!!

Right on. Got it for $350 all in.

Arguably, she injected much-needed consumer funds into the economy. Sort of a reverse TARP kinda thing.
