The Monkey Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 I've dropped mine a bunch of times. Most of the time without a problem. They have fixed mine each time without a question. They never asked if anything happened to cause the problem. Mike, don't yours also break if you look at them funny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrion Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Yeah, I think that's what happened at Mayberry by the Sea. Now I try not to look at them at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elnero Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Has anyone used a TTVJ Slim amp with a stand-alone Pico DAC? If so how did the combo fare, I'd be particularly interested in thoughts compared to the TTVJ Slim with DAC and the Pico DAC/Amp with 13Pro's. Oh and another question, I know this can probably be found elsewhere I expect I'll get more accurate answers by asking here, what kind of difference would I hear with a separate Pico DAC and Pico Slim compared to my Pico DAC/Amp?

grawk Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 better volume control on the pico slim vs pico amp. It can't be overstated how much better the volume control is on the slim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnero Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 better volume control on the pico slim vs pico amp. It can't be overstated how much better the volume control is on the slim. Yeah, that's my biggest reason for thinking about changing to a Pico Slim or TTVJ Slim but I was curious if I would hear much, if any difference, in the presentation. I've also got the impression from some reading that the Pico Slim's volume control is better than the TTVJ's, is this by a fairly wide margin as well? I guess I'm trying to find a frame of reference as to how the different options compare to my Pico DAC/Amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 I'm happy with the volume control on my ttvj slim. The biggest difference between the two for me is that there's a knob on the pico, and a little color led on the ttvj. Makes it harder to control without looking at it. Probably makes more of a difference on other headphones, but I've only ever used the ttvj with my jh13s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 I think the Pico Slim's volume control is better in terms of absolute control, but I also liked the volume rocker on the TTVJ. Matter of preference I think. The form factor of the Pico Slim is, imo, much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 TTVJ slim also has a neat LED volume indicator. Another thing is that Pico Slim is really tiny, bit too small for me since I use mine with iPod classic/touch/iPhone. TTVJ slim is about the size of a iPod classic.

grawk Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Yah, I MUCH prefer the form factor of the TTVJ Slim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 I'm actually tempted to grab myself a TTVJ slim since it would be a better pair with iPod/touch/iPhone (form factor wise). Either that or grab a nano to pair with Pico slim (assuming I get get a non-jack-breaking low-profile LOD). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I got the Nano for the Slim but I have used neither for some time as I just plug right into the iPhone. Good enough for the commute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrion Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I find myself using mine almost exclusively with my iPhone without an amp. I bought a Nano but I think my wife is going to be using it. I love the Slim but just not using it as much. It's one of the reasons I didn't care about selling my iPod Classic. It was just sitting around gathering dust. Don't worry Nate, it cleaned up nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappyjones123 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 just got a call back from jaime (after my request to cancel my order) saying that all my emails had been caught mysteriously in a junk mail filter (my university email address - tried from both fau and mit emails so not sure what the heck is going on). also she claimed they never received any of my calls. at this stage dont know if i should continue with the order or just get a refund.

elnero Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I'm starting to think if I can find all the pieces at reasonable used prices I might try to get a TTVJ Slim with DAC, Pico Slim and Pico DAC all here at the same time so I can compare them all directly.

My experience with their communication has been hit and miss but with a bit of mild persistence I have always received a reply and outside of that the customer service has been outstanding. Even with having had to send mine back now three times I still think based on what I've heard from the 13Pro's, when things gets sorted they will be more than worth the effort.

shellylh Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Vicki, just heard that you broke your JH13's. That really sucks, hope they get fixed soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomana Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I sent mine 13s off yesterday, and am keeping my fingers crossed that they come back soon with the same excellent fit and sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine have returned with at least as good a fit as before and the last time it seems the fit was even better. I received mine back in a week the last time they went up for repair. Hopefully, you will get yours back that fast as well. We are lucky that most shipping in Florida is overnight within Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 I sent mine 13s off yesterday, and am keeping my fingers crossed that they come back soon with the same excellent fit and sound. Jerry giveth and he taketh away. My JH13s came back yesterday. Think we've finally found a good fit and although I've only had 20 minutes listening time, believe the imbalance issue is either gone or slight enough to be ignored (was pretty obvious before). Shape and canal length differences still exist between the two sides not there in my other customs, so not sure the end point is where we'd arrive without the many modifications, but I think we're finally good.

boomana Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Good news for me: I just spoke to Adam, who said they are completely repairable, and will not need to be remolded. Since the right earpiece has always been a very wee bit loose, he's going to add another coat on that, so I may end up better than before I broke them. He's sending them back to me tomorrow or Monday. Also, it looks like my 3A/16 might be ready in a couple weeks. If true, big yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
