how are you calculating this headroom exactly? peak divided by continuous? For example, how much headroom does a Pass F4 have? (sorta a trick question, but hey...) For example, are you considering when a class A amp slides into class AB as running out of headroom? (I wouldn't)

more watts, less gain

is there a way you can show all hi def netflix streaming titles? Do you have to also purchase the Blu Ray add-on to get access to these downloads?

Ha, quite the cunning linguist yourself!

that's not quite a shocker to me....

There are a bunch of standard calibration files for the WM61A that get pretty close. They are not in fact flat from 10Hz to 20kHz+ though out of the box, that's what I was getting at

are you saying they're flat with compensation files that are usually provided, or without? I already know the answer, as I had a modded one calibrated

for me it isn't a matter of liking them sonically. it's a matter of them being comfortable and will I use them.

Has anyone here gotten the JH13 as their first custom IEM?

Mike: Did you check to see if the records were really circuit boards?

that's insane man :/

I'd say it would be indistinguishable. Even better is if said mediocre engineer designed both pieces of gear that are being connected.

fair enough. my point is that most are badly engineered, hence the prevalent statement that one is better than another*. By badly engineered I mean not designed by a RF engineer. * I don't believe this 100%, who am I kidding. People hear what they want to hear.

sorta reminds me of this book: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0439104319/$%7B0%7D

badly engineered

I disagree. One could have a properly terminated AES/EBU connection and horrible coaxial/toslink implementation. For argument's sake, the coaxial connector could have an incorrectly populated voltage divider resistor on the output. Would this be noticeable? yes.

i hate this thread

swt61 loves the CD3000* * this product may contain mods known to be harmful to the State of Kansas

what is resell like anyways? that's actually an option I hadn't considered.

yeah, I dunno... I just don't know if I'll like the IEM experience enough to warrant that sort of cash. Like I said, I'm happy with throwing away money and upgrading down the line, because that implies that the IEM thing is a viable option. That's preferable to spending more money on something and never using it, or hating to use it, or not liking the sound, etc.

yup I agree. What I don't know is how the 13s in universal form compare to the 5 in custom form

I haven't decided. I go back and forth with just getting the cheapest thing they offer and seeing how I like it and going all out. I've never owned a custom so I'm a bit leery... The price differential is enough that buying the JH5 and upgrading down the line to the JH13, assuming I get nothing for the JH5 is still okay in my book.

I wouldn't worry about that as much as something trying to get one of swt61's signature "reterminations" installed

then we couldn't laugh at you
