drp Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 ^^^ I just grabbed a random pic that used red and white artwork on each earpiece, respectively. I replaced the white with blue lettering and didn't look at the orientation. So, who's the monkey now.....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augsburger Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 JH Audio just emailed me, the mother of pearl idea won't work. It appears that they cannot carve the MOP without generating unacceptably rough edges. bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aardvark baguette Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 you could call the left ear "cat" and the right ear "pumpkin". Duh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPH Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 So you can't combine colors in the way I wanted (i.e., "smoke" a blue or red color). I think they were able to do this at UE, so it's a bit frustrating. I'm now thinking Muddy Water Blue with some very small artwork to indicate R/L because, despite the comments earlier, I don't find it extremely easy to tell which is which. I'm pretty sure I saw a red and blue pair on their Facebook page. My first idea was to do exactly that, but in the end I went with black to match with the rest of my stuff.

Sherwood Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Here ya go...... {{ducks monkey swing}} 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.

drp Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Also what I was thinking/promoting earlier, but I think Mr. Monkey currently has customs with similar geometry (?) so must be looking for other markers. As far as the pic, I never was very good at cheeky monkey stuff; I'll just leave that to the Stretchperts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 I think I'm just going to get muddy water blue. Or black. Or some other fucking color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwood Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 So, the preorders for the Pico Slim should be starting soon. Can someone tell Justin to check his email? -Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 So, the preorders for the Pico Slim should be starting soon. Can someone tell Justin to check his email? -Ed Frick. Now I have to decide on Pico Slim or a home amp that would work well (i.e., no hiss or hum) with JH13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drp Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Frick. Now I have to decide on Pico Slim or a home amp that would work well (i.e., no hiss or hum) with JH13. Sentiment echoed. I am still hopeful of what the boys cook up for a balanced home solution. Plus, I really dislike the idea of having to sell the Pico, it's such a great office and travel laptop solution.

The Monkey Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Keeping with my L/R idea, I was thinking that since these things will get a lot of subway use, I would use small graphics of the R and L trains to distinguish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomana Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Dang, those remind me of stories I won't tell. I like them, Dinny. FYI to those who care: The JH13s with an Exemplar Denon 2900 and Luxman P1 are absolutely stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Translucent black with those things would be killer. And by the way, I said months ago that the JH|13s had magical energy together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Thanks for the input folks. I'm basically down to the following choices in order of preference: 1) Muddy Water Blue translucent for both 1a) Black translucent with R/L as above (but small graphics) 2) Muddy Water Blue trans for R, black trans for L 3) Muddy Water Blue trans for L, Dark Red for R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veloaudio Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 So now that the Pico Slim pre-order thread is minutes away ...

The Monkey Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Ok, gang, I'm passing on the artwork. Now I just need to decide between muddy water blue trans and black trans. I think muddy water blue is awesome, but black is more stealthy and less noticeable, which is also cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
