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

just made an appointment for impressions... therefore, I decree that this is the end of FOTY. Seriously though, anyone with customs have slightly-more-than-mild TMJ?

ya

I'll get it worked out. It took a volcano to reschedule the trip this time, so I'll have to obviously out do that...

right now I have to be in Amsterdam on Wednesday I think things will work out, but it's unclear if I can reschedule this trip or not, or get someone to cover for me.

Left Hand makes a decent milk stout... here's a "review" Fermentedly Challenged: Left Hand Milk Stout review

I've been playing with one at work at well, working on some new exploits and malware for it. I don't particularly care for it either, but I have a feeling it would be handy to have around the house though.
