Can't you substitute pretty much any DAC or Amp with the PWD in the sentence above and have the rest be true? What I mean is, it seems there are always some owners who are chasing the next upgrade or best sound and then some owners who remain content, regardless of what gear it is. I think this may be the more important question. I'm not trying to be being an asshole, just saying. Cheers.

Thanks boomana, that's kinda what I gathered about your pico slim use, but wanted to ask anyway. Cheers.

Thanks Voltron. I'm now off to research Amarra in greater detail. I read up some initially and dismissed the idea, but I will revisit that option now to see if it fits my eye a little better now. Cheers.

Thanks for the suggestions MASantos and the reassurance's boomana. boomana, which home source do you use with your 13's and the slim? It would seem a funny juxtaposition to pair the pico slim with a 'big gear' DAC like the PWD or some such thing. I'm still tossing ideas around and looking for a steal on a used Northstar to start my trip down the rabbit hole. I'm also looking the duet now for a source as I'm a mac guy. Thanks for the input all. Cheers.

I'm sure some of you already saw this bit of second-hand news, but FWIW... JH3A - How will you feed it? - Page 4 - Head-Fi.org Community 3 month delay on JH3A according to the above...

Thanks JP, that is very helpful, on many accounts. It's good to hear that they will scale like a motherfucker (I enjoy swearing, when able) and that I could build a nice home set-up around them and be very pleased and not waste money doing so. I guess I have my DAC's pretty much narrowed down, now to figure out the next part in the chain....cheers to all and thanks...

My gut tells me this is the one as well...

Been spending a lot of time there and will continue to...thanks all...

I should have spelled that correctly, you are right, my apologies and it is indeed on the website and specially states so. The pico idea crossed my mind, but I'm already using a TTVJ slim/Dac, so for my next step, in a home set up, I would want to be a real big step in gear, otherwise it seems the Pico would be more lateral then huge upgrade. As well, I would like the option down the road for other phones other then the JH13. I'm not saying the pico and or slim or any combo mentioned above does not serve this purpose....

I had thought of it, but I like the flexibility of having my headphones separate from my system and if I want to go to other flavor of headphones down the line, I can...I like options...JH3A does not give as many at this time for me...

This is what I thought the Sonnet was capable of, I do want to sauce things up first...could Wild turkey work for the sauce...I think so... I have read that the SE version Sonnet matched the JH13's well as it has two gain's (low/high) and a good volume control (see above Beefy's comment). You have much more experience here, so for now, I'll put a ? next to my amp choice for myself and keep researching. Regardless, It's going to be source first for me. Thanks for the advice. I have gathered the same, but due to my inexperience with high end systems, I was unsure if i was wasting money for something that sounds good with everything, especially with the amp section, I think the biggest gain would be in the DAC itself...cheers...

Fuck, how did I miss this earlier? Thanks for the pennies, and yup, I think this is the direction to go. Thanks.

I would say a great source would be the answer, with the amp almost functioning as a buffer afterward (maybe?), so a better source I would think is my first step

Thanks Salt, but speakers is not an option at this time. But I will keep that in mind for the future. Thanks.

I'm back to reading and keeping my mouth shut, apologizes to all. I do not want to end up in reks's basement.

good point...I was curious and I apologize..not sure what got into me this morning...

fuck boys, unhelpful, even if funny...I know they are better then crack, fuck...maybe this q is HF bound after all....

For those of us without access to the casino, was Gilmore permanently banned, and for what? He was a very interesting read, even if most flew over my head...I haven't seen anything mentioned about this, I am guessing it has to do with the ChiUni stuff?

Howdy all, My name is Barry. I

Thanks Monkey. It's interesting you say that as I was thinking the same and I'm not sure what use and/or utility I would actually get out of the bridge for the effort. Cheers.

I've been looking long and hard at the PWD as well, and I think they are running the trade-in program again. Why is the bridge less desirable to you now? Just curious.

Charley’s, on Newbury St, has good burgers and is pretty reasonable price wise for the area. For some reason I tried to post earlier, but since I fucked that one anyway and didn’t read your post fully, I’m glad it didn’t go through…I’ll go back to reading (this time with comprehension) now….

This is pretty fun and is easily accessible by red line MBTA Museum of Science, Boston | Home This is inexpensive, has a great selection, and is often underrated. It is also accessible by red line and a few walking blocks: Harvard Art Museums / Welcome There is a lot to do here….have fun….

...but the fantasy draft is so much fun when you add a bit of booze....you'll be just like Clarke...

Count me in if it gets off the ground...
