I’ve had to send my u12ts back for cable cut-offs on both sides now. Kind of a hassle, but I love ‘em...- jgosroc

64 Audio A12t/U12t Impressions
I wouldn’t say an RC350 is entirely without merit or sports bona fides - 230kw... but well built yes. https://www.lexus.com.au/models/rc/overview- jgosroc

64 Audio A12t/U12t Impressions
I have the universal versions of these, and these for me are “end game”. I do get the straight A student analogy, but straight out excellence is a characteristic that I’ve been chasing since getting into this hobby(I think we all are!). One review on headfi spoke about the Lid tech, being...- jgosroc

Westone W60 Impressions Thread
Well, don’t forget you asked..! I’ve experienced repeated failures of the MMCX connectors on my W80s. The first one Westone were kind enough to replace - though I bought it second hand on headfi. The second time, I haven’t gone back, in large part because I believe it would just happen again...- jgosroc

Westone W60 Impressions Thread
Hi guys / anyone, I wish to convert my w80s into a CIEM. Does anyone know a good outfit to use? I’m not that concerned about cost, good reputation matters more to me. I would have used InEarz, but looking at their site, it didn’t look like they do this service anymore...- jgosroc

Westone W60 Impressions Thread
Yeah, the metal faceplates rock. They are “the cure” that all W60s need IMO.- jgosroc

JH Audio JH 13v2 PRO Impressions and Discussions Thread.
Wow, you’re in Toronto - I was born there! Eons ago - I’ve lived in Australia since I was 7. I would check out that Tokyo store. I’m interested in some of the Asian brands that we don’t see much. I am super lucky though - because I’m maybe 10 minutes away from Minidisc in Chatswood in...- jgosroc

JH Audio JH 13v2 PRO Impressions and Discussions Thread.
My read is these are more “musical”, more rock n’ roll than “balanced” - the latter I tend to think of as linear, with basically the bass side of things dialled down and relatively more emphasis on the mid to highs. So everything sounds “clear and fast”. The ultimate reference is probably Shure...- jgosroc

JH Audio JH 13v2 PRO Impressions and Discussions Thread.
I’m based in Sydney, and often purchased from headfiers in the States. Even waiting 5 or 7 days just eats me up. Well done! I’m sure yours will be amazing. Hopefully they get that first fit right, so it’s a done deal. Gorgeous listening experience. I never remember even K10s I’ve had, bring as...- jgosroc

Universals / always. I’d love have enough patience for CIEMs... but I keep proving to myself that I don’t!- jgosroc

JH Audio JH 13v2 PRO Impressions and Discussions Thread.
Just bought the 16v2 today. A bit early to have a balanced view I guess. Man i love the warmth and range of bass though - it’s crazy. After a pretty depressing W80 experience in terms of manufacturing quality - everything about this feels premium. I feel like I stepped out of a 20 year old...- jgosroc

Westone W80
Yeah, I genuinely can’t praise the UmPro50 too much. People forget that fundamentally it was designed to sound (drivers and all) to sound like the ES5 or ES50 CIEM. While my W80 was out of action I was happily listening to my UmPro50 with a silver cable... just killer. I think it stomps many...- jgosroc

Westone W80
Thought I’d add on a postscript to this. In an act of unbelievable generosity, Westone replaced my W80 with the contact issue, with a brand new pair. They didn’t have to. I know it, they know it. But they did anyway. They wanted to stand behind their flagship and drill down to see what the...- jgosroc
