drp Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 Shelly - Are you going for the clear version with the 64" cable; no artwork? I am finding this to be super-slick looking, in a utilitarian sort of way. Drivers and wires beats custom artwork any old day. For gear, source first all the way.
boomana Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 Shelly, I am looking forward to your, er, impressions once you get the JH13. Same.
ojnihs Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 Sweet, my JH13's were shipped out today. Looking forward to getting them.
shellylh Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 drp: I am so so so very tempted to get clear but I am afraid of yellowing. The clear demos looked much cooler than any of the other demos that JH sent to me for the Houston meet. I am thinking of doing Electric Blue translucent (or some really light colored blue) so that I can still see the guts (will call JH Audio about the colors tomorrow). No artwork though (and no tats on my body either). Definitely getting the 64" cable. I was pretty impressed with the demos recently. I really didn't ever see myself ever getting a pair of high end custom IEMs but it seems that I have been pushed over that edge.
veloaudio Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 Sweet, my JH13's were shipped out today. Looking forward to getting them. How long did it take once they received your impressions? I got the "impressions arrived" email on Monday.
drp Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 Shel - Ditto concerns on the yellowing, but read that with some cleaning routine (or maybe not), they will not yellow. Post what JH says about the clears and if they stay that way. A really light blue is going to look super sweet at any rate. I considered some sort of super light skin tone in translucent, but . . . opt'd for the clear. (big grin). The longer cable is also a great call for the office, as it's easier to move around the desk with out yanking something. I learned this with the Yuin OK1 (amazing little bud) so opt'd for the longer cable on the JH13. Oh, and I've been listening to the JH13 all evening (just delivered). From the Opus21 to the iMod Nano to stock Nano, they sound great. I was in the garage having a cigar so grabbed an old modified Sony SRF-S84 FM radio to catch talk radio. I could hear the sound booth reverberations; almost like being in the booth.
ojnihs Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 How long did it take once they received your impressions? I got the "impressions arrived" email on Monday. They got my impressions on Friday, I got the "in lab" email yesterday, and the shipped email today. Doesn't take that long really, I'm hoping I'll get them this week, but I doubt it. I didn't get a tracking number or anything, so maybe I'll email them for that tomorrow.

The only reason I didn't get the same was that I...well...didn't want the same.
shellylh Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 Vicki, the trans light blue look very nice, I think I will be happy with something like that.
grawk Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 electric blue (what they call navy) is what I'm doing if I ever have the cash
Dusty Chalk Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 the JH16 is a pro audio piece that Jerry is doing for live rock stage monitor applications. Jerry is not marketing this towards audiophiles as there is way too much bass and mids. It was what I think he was working on while on tour with the Cult.Well that's a relief.
ojnihs Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 Damnit...they'll be here on Monday, was hoping I'd have them by the weekend
drp Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 Here are a few pix of of the clear JH13 (my skilz don't do them justice) and cool packaging. Finish is very nice; quality product all around. The fit seems acceptable so far (whew).
Sherwood Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 Great pictures, DRP. That little Pentax has a respectable macro in sunlight.
ojnihs Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 looks great. you're making me want mine even more
veloaudio Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 Damnit, why haven't I gotten the "in the lab" email
Salt Peanuts Posted November 6, 2009 Report Posted November 6, 2009 Nice, Dave! I can't wait to get mine back - I have to got get another impression before that, though.
