LOL, well, I'm not using Lossless on my iPod right now.  256 AAC or 320 MP3.  I do have some old 192 MP3 that sound like crap, so they aren't on my iPod :p

That is correct.

My ears must be a funny shape. These are "fatter" than most people's!

But I love them. Can't wait

Also want to revise step 1: why an iPod?  Most sources will do ;)

 

I've done these in this order, step 1, 2, 4, 7, 5, 6 (repeat 6 a couple times) ;)

I was for the most part being a wise *****. I was just taking a the 12-step program comment and running with it.

No regrets Am fortunate to have disposable income in this economic environment and no dependants. Audio is notorious for diminishing returns but despite the additional import cost really do not think at all have overpaid for my new toy based on the first 48 hours. In contrast importing the ESW9 had perceived less value on receipt for me due to the overall package, strange thing perception :)

lmao JCYC5, those do look really odd...but if you love them, that's all that matters my friend

I think they look really nice. You have some big ear canals ;). The shape reminds me of the big island lol (Hawaii). The crowns surprisingly jive very well on them. Very nice!

If we really want to go the 12-step route, here it is:

1. Admitted we were powerless over headphones and other kick-ass audio products.

2. Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3. Made a decision to turn our gear over to the care of Jude as we understood him.

4. Made a fearless and searching inventory of our audio gear.

5. Admitted to Jude, to ourselves, and another head-fier the exact nature of our audio gear.

6. Were entirely ready to have Jude relieve us of our audio gear so that he can sell it on the for sale thread.

7. Humbly asked him to just take the damn gear already.

8. Made a list of all head-fiers we had made snarky comments towards, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends when possible, except when doing so would cause their egos to inflate or inspire them to buy even more gear.

10. Continued to take inventory of our audio products, and when we broke down and bought something, promptly sold it on the for sale thread to somebody from Latvia with absolutely no feedback.

11. Through well-written reviews and cleverly designed, Jude-inspired avatars, sought to improve our conscious contact with Jude, asking only for knowledge of the next great pair of headphones or dap before anybody else learned about it so that we could start a thread and seem really smart to other head-fiers.

12. Having finally smelt the proverbial coffee as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other addicted head-fiers, and practice these principles in all our affairs.

I'm doublea71 and I'm a headphone-aholic.
 

My girlfriend thinks the crown is quite... Mordor-like.

I agree. I love it :D

Can't wait. UPS will be picking up the package from Heir tomorrow! (Well, 31st)

My 8A has reached to the 6th week, and I still got no news about it from Sunny.

Your not alone my friend :). We're all waiting.

Not sure you'd want them to rush it.

I'd rather wait and have it done properly than rushed and then have to send it back for fixing
