I did hear from him (email) this morning, and the message was upbeat, so hopefully Craig is in a better place. He and Mike were repairing a Twag V2 that had acquired a short in one of the sides. It did take a little bit to get the repair done what with Craig being away and seemingly other distractions.
I spent a number of weeks using the stock cable that comes with the JH13s. The contrast now that I have my V2s back is night and day. Who says cables make no difference?
