Thank you very much for the quick reply!

What type of potentiometer is being used the in the L-2 and DSHA-1 ? I didn't see them listed in the decription on the website. I'm hoping to get a chance to see and hear them in person - they look excellent in photos!

Sorry to hear about your loss. I've lost a monitor to the battle of crappy connectors too. On a side note - the UE interface is defiantly better, but it is not a "locking" connection.

JonL - Beautiful little lady you've got there. She is a Collie of some kind? What is the beverage in the most recent photo? Interesting colors in it. Iron_Dreamer - Awesome photo!

Thank you.

Is Parts Connexion my only option for a stereo TKD pot in the United States?

I'd be interested in hearing more about the UE-Reference / ES-5 / JH-13. I've only had a chance to hear the JH-13 and JH-16 universals and thought both had a little too much bass around 50hz for the large amount of electronic music I listen to. The UM3X and no.34 customs have made me wary of dealing with Westone again, but I've never had bad service, so they aren't completely off the list yet.

Because the crossovers are directly wired to each driver. Also - with a normal amplifier, you only have 2 channels of amplification - you need 6 for the 13 and 8 for the 16 if that is the correct number of drivers in those.

I think what Sam is saying applies to most of us guys here @ Audiofiler....

I think they are like laser cut photos layered under the faceplate, but I don't know... but I do agree about them being "a little rough around the edges" on certain ones.

The stock cable looks nice... is that a neutrik plug?

Gimmiethecash - those are a very nice pair.. I almost want to do the blue eye blue on one side and a dark green on the other.

What is the sonic signature of the 404LE like? Does it offer any more bass impact than the Koss?

The JH-13 already has a slight boost at 50hz to make it "sound natural" due to the way our ears work. Impressions will be interesting though!

Valentines day sale?? fingers crossed!
