Asr Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 A girl from work saw me reading this thread during lunch time, and asked "why do you visit that forum so often?" I explained to her my whole obsession with headphones. She approved as she said she shares the same guilt with fashion. Anyhow, she then proceeded to ask me what specific thread I was reading, and I mentioned all things and comments about the JH13. "Are you getting them?" She asked. "No. Not yet at least. My gut feeling tells me to hold off till I get a new amp, then get these." "Hmmm. And everyone says they are better than everything else out there?" She asked again. "Pretty much, yes." "Hmmm..." she looked at me. "What is it?" I asked. "From my experience, I think you need a new gut." =/ What, and you didn't ask her out? That was your opening right there!

screaming oranges Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I have no pics of her. Besides, even though she is cute, she's super high maintenance. Emphasis on super. Well beyond my means... =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atothex Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Super high maintenance as in she's probably nowhere as cute in the morning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 as in it would take a lot of expensive gifts to keep her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screaming oranges Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 She's pretty cute (more on the cute side than hot). But to put things in perspective, she goes through clothes faster than Mike sells gear. This is not hyperbole. This is proven by science.

penger Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 So you have her under strict observation. No wonder we're not getting any pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBLoudG20 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 So a never-before heard universal IEM at a $400 price point is supposed to knock out the $1400 custom king-of-the-hill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 So a never-before heard universal IEM at a $400 price point is supposed to knock out the $1400 custom king-of-the-hill? It's $300 and why so humorless? Tongue. Cheek. Together again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrion Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 2 months at the top isn't bad. I guess after I get the GR8, I will use the JH13 for the gym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlanger Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Ok, I've gone and done it and it's all your fault! Picked up a used Pico today. Should have it by the weekend, and it better be worth it or you guys (and gal) are in big trouble. Ok, so you weren't joking! Definitely a significant improvement I've noticed after a brief listen. Unfortunately, I'm having a problem that I think is with my laptop. It's causing intermittent static. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, different USB cable and each port with no improvement. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopstretch Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I think you should sue Justin in his personal capacity. Happy to provide the address to your process server. Just send me any BHSE you might eventually seize, OK? Sorry, got nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it might be dropouts, try disabling your wireless card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwood Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Have you tried it on both battery power and plugged into AC Adapter? Although, AC Adapter would probably only introduce a ground loop buzz. -Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclragnarok Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Good suggestion, will give it a shot. ... Nope, still there. I've found that dropout-pops are often caused by wireless cards, but there are other possibilities. You can try downloading and running this program: DPC Latency Checker If the static/pops coincide with big spikes in the DPC latency, it's probably a latency issue.

You can try downloading and running this program: DPC Latency Checker If the static/pops coincide with big spikes in the DPC latency, it's probably a latency issue. Well, now I'm thinking you might be right. While it didn't appear that the static always coincided with the latency drops, my desktop shows absolutely no latency issues, while the latency on my laptop is quite frequent. I've tried disabling the drivers on anything that might cause the problem, but haven't found the answer yet. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron_Dreamer Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I haven't had that problem myself. Are you using ASIO4all and/or foobar? If so, try tweaking the buffering and/or latency settings in each. If not, what are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
