  1. I was pleasantly surprised to find a package from JH Audio on my doorstep today. So far I'm impressed with the Roxannes. The thread on Head-Fi has blown up in a predictable manner, with a few people claiming they have a dark signature. I haven't found this to be the case at all so far. If anything, they seem quick to expose anything shrill in the treble region. Detail retrieval is definitely a step up from my 2009 JH13s. I haven't heard any other freq phase offerings though, so I can't say what I hear isn't just due to improved driver phase alignment.

    Hmm wonder if the dark signature could be due to the earphones dark colour.

  2. recently got the momentum. Not sure if tyll mentioned it, but its abit echoey(very faint) when i first used it. Cant really hear it now as i might be used to it. NOt sure if soundstaging or reverb issue.

    Does the nad have this problem? 

  3. ah, the last time they were there, they paired the sr-009 with a a cary intergrated amp with an energizer. 

    Next time then.

    Yes and no, for many, the owners themselves showed up. Jerry harvey was at the last one, along with rudistor, My Suyama of Fitear, and Mr Takai of Final Audio Design etc.

  4. Completely out of topic but i have no idea how to PM justin.

    I saw that headamp was going to be at the mook festival in Singapore. Will you be there and will the BHSE+Stax Sr009 combo be coming along? No idea how else us south-east asians are ever going to get to hear that combo without flying to the states. =D

    Thanks

  5. yes those fucking incompetent morons.

     

    After over 30 minutes of attacking it with an xacto knife, this

    gardenhose and glue

     

    here are 2 more.

    2 of the wires are not even fully soldered.

    and does anyone really think this is 99.999% pure silver.

     

    there is no such thing.

     

    This is a $700 cable...

     

    but wait, there is even more

    http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/dsc_0513.jpg

     

    there is white shit leaking out of the hose inside the

    connector.  Its talcum powder or some such crap.

    probably why they tried to fill the ends of the gardenhose

    with industrial strength glue, which since it does not bend

    with the cable (like rtv would) ends up cracking and leaking

    out the powder.

     

    WHAT THE FUCK...  they really must have hired Patrick to make

    this crap.

     

    speaking of which, his latest website is quite funny.

    Every time i visit head-case, i see brands i previously admired ripped apart. Alo,RSA,Cavalli etc. Stupidity and gullibility due to good marketing does cost money. Reading reviews of people talking about how the cable revealed another layer of the music their previously 5000 dollar cable could not open makes me go =___=. Now, im very apprehensive about buying something even if it sounds good. And there is only one innerfidelity.com

    I think there should be a thread where makes of audio products whose items have been thoroughly ripped apart, photographed and have been checked by trusted members should be listed. Purely based on the schematics and build quality. I understand there could be advert and possibly self interest threat but i dont see any way around for us non-tech newbies to do some serious research. I saw the internals of the Alo Studio Six and Woo Wes and my only comment was...they look pretty... and almost got one prior to this forum.

  6. I'd say that's a fair statement; not brighter by a lot, though, and having tighter, more impactive bass. So it's not as simple as just saying their brighter.

    Heard you got a unit of the fidelio L2 lying around, initial impressions? =D

  7. I recently bumped into this site decware, where they make SET amplifiers without circuit boards. Being a complete electrical engineering idiot, Im wondering if there is any merits to it. If im not mistaken, audionote uk does not use circuit boards too.

    There's the internals to one of his speaker amps. Im quite tempted to put down an order for one just for novelty sake and the lifetime warranty. If im not mistaken he makes headphone amps and kind enough to include the schematics. Quite skeptical about the beeswax caps though.

  8. Hi, I'm a newbie to headphones here, thankfully before being fully corrupted by head-fi, i chanced upon the Cavalli LL thread, proceeded to finish the T2 diy thread even though i know nothing of electronics.

    Just a quick question, at my place, there isnt really a place to buy or test headphones, so im probably buying blind. Im currently thinking of the momentum or X1 (I'm buying them secondhand and the offer price is similar.). Any advice? I listen to songs mostly, lots of vocals and acoustic. occasional pop music.

    On of the kind of signature i liked, was the Final Audio Heaven 6 and fitear parterre, courtesy of good friends. have not had the chance to listen to JH.
