The Monkey

Out of my Galaxy SIII as a HotSpot. LTE confuses me. Sometimes it is slow as shit and that's when it hits the local servers on speedtest. But notice above. When it thinks I am in Kansas, well, it moves its ass. WTF?

Briefly. The JH13 non freqd vs. the JH13 freqd: made my "old" JH13 sound slightly veiled (and that's saying something). The "new" JH13 sounds more linear, with even more clarity, with the slight subtraction of bass crunch down low. The analogy I've been using is that someone took a VERY clean window and applied yet another round of squeegeeing to it. The JH16 I had only heard in universal demo mode before, but these sounded more colored to me (in a good way). Bass seems tipped up a bit down where you can hear the real crunch of electric guitar and bass in a rock track. The JH16 has an even more fun sound to me now than before and the JH13 has a more serious, straightforward presentation. I should point out that I don't think the JH16's coloration makes it inappropriate as a reference, which is part of why I like it so much. It is a fun headphone, but Jerry didn't do anything to make it sound ridiculous. I hope that helps.

I like hedphonz plese ad me to teh newzletre and list for furst test.

Normally, I also wake up before the alarm. And I also haven't been sleeping well for weeks for, well, good reason. I think my body was telling me something.

Slept until 11am today for the first time in god knows how long. Feeling bad because I am being lazy. But I'm thinking I deserve a lazy day or two.

Thanks guys, but I've got my Boy that weekend, so it's a no go. But I do miss you all, and can't wait to get some stability (and blessed freedom) so that I can do some Travel Team stuff.

I think the differences between the freqphased JH13 and JH16 are bigger than the non freq'd versions.

Guys, family situation dictates that I am out. Wish you all a great time.

I was assuming everything is freqphased now, but I can confirm. There were tear sheets at the table explaining the process. It will be interesting to see how they handle the PR because Jerry's kind of saying, "Yeah, y'know your old JH13s? Well, I was wrong..." My old JH13 still sounds great, but I think they are taking a little risk retaining the same model names. And it's unfortunate that the old versions can't be tweaked.

Both. The sub makes a big difference, but 2 channel was still pretty good, though a little bass shy. Their subs are affordable, though.

Not I, but Naaman made me go to the MBL room and that was seriously worth it. I believe Naaman made it to most of the speaker rooms. People tend to get out of his way.

Yes, the JH16s are now freqphased, too. Yup, sounded pretty good to me. Nice and airy for a closed can. Kind of like a Thunderpants without as much thunder in the pants. I believe they are LCD-2 drivers, but could be wrong. Apparently, they've been working on it for 8 months. Doesn't sound like it's coming ot anytime soon.

Happy belated!

I'm still adjusting to being back and dealing with family and work stuff, but it was as a great time. JH16 stole the show for me. Didn't hear them straight out of a smart phone, but I imagine they will be just fine. The tweaks JHA made makes the differences between the JH13 and JH16 clearer, with the JH13 being the more "linear" and the JH16 being more, well, fun. We didn't have much of a crew in terms of numbers, but we had quality. More later, but for now it was just nice to see everyone and have a brief respite from a pretty shitty time back in NYC.

Well played sir. Al, come on by.

Figured I deserved a break. And the price actually want that much more. Fuck it.

In the air. Drinking scotch. First class. Looking forward to good weekend.

Now, see, ^THAT's a review.

BTW, I love this thread. I can't believe I find it uplifting at this point in time, but I do. Thanks Wayne!

559 + 19 (some sinful) = 578. Met freshman year of college. Never thought it would end, especially not the way it has. But we were happy for some of it. And I have my son as a result, the single best thing that has ever happened to me.

Not helpful, but the sound of other people eating sends me into a rage. Thank god you're crazy, too.

ASR should be there, too. Todd (TTVJ) will be there and will do another beer thing, which is good because I like beer things.

^Nice!
