Dusty Chalk Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I think that Invicta that I pm'd you is "Muddy Water Blue". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherwood Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Muddy Water Blue is a phenomenal color, btw. I'd take pictures, but they're always encased in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manaox2 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 You'll have to wait awhile for a response. Just finishing catching up on what I missed, that pic prob would make an awesome avatar. Sorry, I was a little busy over the holidays and lost a few good local friends to moves which kind of put me in for a vegetative spell I think, blargh. No worries, I'm not disappearing.

Voltron Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I feel a vegetative state coming on for the same reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPH Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Aaaaaand that hundred bucks off somehow did it for me. Just ordered a pair, translucent black. "At my command...unleash the audiologist." Just so you know, translucent black is actually more grey than black, but I've read somewhere that you can specify the opacity if you actually want it darker. I posted a pic of my pair a few pages back if you want to see what it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for pointing me towards your pic -- I've read through this entire thread, so the truth is that that pic might very well be where I got the idea to go with that color in the first place. Erm...lack of color, that is...I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manaox2 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I asked for smoky black on the UE11, pretty much a dark translucent. I thought it looked great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt Peanuts Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Picked up Pico DAC/Amp this afternoon and have been using JH13 with it for the past couple of hours (iMac > Pico > JH13). I'm really enjoying the combo and it's nice to be able to use JH13 while at my computer - the hiss from the headphone out on iMac/MacBook or Duet was too distracting for me. I do wish it had wee bit more volume range, though it probably doesn't help that I listen at low volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have just stumbled upon the reason for the pico slim. And I would not recommend an impedance adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, trust me, I thought about the Slim, but I really wanted the on-board DAC as I do a lot of listening out of my MacBook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEAXAUCE Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Impedence adapter? There'd be no problem with using an impedance adapter if the JH16 had constant impedance, but since a lot of multi-driver IEMs--and, it seems, also the JH13--have impedance that varies widely with frequency, an impedance adapter would throw off the frequency response. And if the impedance varies with something other than frequency, like amplitude, you'll be adding harmonic distortion. I don't know that it does, but I have heard that this is the case for a lot of loudspeakers. An impedance adapter is just a resistor in series with your headphones. If you add a 70 ohm adapter, you're effectively adding 70 ohms to the output impedance of your amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fierce_freak Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Blargh, missed the one day sale (though my credit card thanks me for it). I might end up going to canjam this year, so perhaps I'll just wait til then and get fitted there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
