This is a good (if mislabeled) example. You have to hook that loop over your ear, so it's pretty obvious (after a week or two) which side is which. Of course, the serial number and your initials are also automatically printed in red or blue on the inward-facing side of each piece.
Even without colors, it's easy to tell the sides apart by feel. I put mine on in the dark all the time, and have no issue. Just like how you feel for the rod on a pair of Grados, you feel for the cable entries on JH13s.
Amen to that, Nate. Her vocals routinely clip out very harshly, and the dynamics in general are really not up to par. Every time I'm anticipating some glorious crescendo my hopes are dashed by clipping instead.
The music, however, has really gotten a hold of me as of late.
Just checking in here at week 9 or so. I'm pretty sure Jesus returned to Earth last night and personally invited me to quit this mortal coil and dwell with Him in peace for all eternity, but I had my 13s in and it was halfway through Regina Spektor's "Far" and I decided to finish the album instead.
I'm talking bass terms here. A 2-note chord is traditionally referred to only by its interval in common slang. i.e. play an 11th at the 6th fret, etc. What we lack in class, sophistication and proper usage of terms, we make up for in... hmm....
Goddamnit there is an actual office chair thread at HF that people apparently register over there for specifically. Some people only have posts in that thread.
Still madly in love with mine. Still spend at least an hour a day with them in. Jealous of all your better rigs, but I just don't need it. They're so danged good right out of the iPhone...
Thank you very much, Dusty. I highly recommend you do. It's not an instrument that stands well on its own until you get to real virtuosic levels, but danged if it isn't extremely enjoyable.
