Is the Jade 2 simply being considered or is it going to production?

I believe, Purrin and other headfi members have created a "resurection" jade 2 petition thread

I'm not David, but I do happen to own both. The LCD-3's bass does pack more punch and is simply magical! But that said, I prefer the SR-009's control, detail and layering. Overall, I prefer the SR-009's bass presentation by a small margin.

David, I am very much awaiting your view on the TakeT H2+. Any idea when I can expect it? Are you going to include the TR2 transformer box? Hope you will find time soon. All the best.

Such an amazing review. I keep going back to it whenever I get ideas towards new headphones. :)

 

Anyone else looking forward to the LCD-2.2 update?

Thanks! My LCD-3 should return this week and this will make the LCD-2.2 review sooner :)

I wish I could afford them right now.  :'(

I think MacedonianHero really nailed it!  The LCD-3 has a more robust and lifelike bass sound.  I also really love the HE-6's bass.

Again, thank you for this extensive review and your on going effort to update it. I have been following this thread on and off, but was not able to follow everything 100%, and most importantly, track on the changes that you have made on this review. While reading the entire review again is a much enjoyable experience, but I have issues tracking the changes you made, as I intend to follow up with your new discoveries and such. Just a small suggestion, is it possible for you to add Revision numbers and revision history so we can easily track the progress of this great work?

 

Thanks of sharing the news on Jade 2 revive - Can't wait to see her go production and get more impressions from head-fier. If its cheaper than HD800 I might be able to get my financial approval :D

 

Thanks.

Hmmm, how would I add revision #s?

Hi David, Thanks for taking consideration on the idea, while I'm not a documentation expert, I normally see people keep their update history records by date, revision number or both. It would be a manual process I guess, as an additional session in your already great review.

 

First, by date, example

15/02/13 - Update description for STAX SR-009.

01/03/13 - Additional 7 headphones to the review: LCD2.2, Jade 2... ... etc.

03/04/13 - New comments and rating for Jade. Also with new review the phone, it has been repositioned after R10 heavy bass, pushing HD800, STAX Omega and R10 light bass 1 step down.

 

Or, by revision number in following format x.x.x where the

First x would keep track of major changes, like revamp of the entire article, or at least 20-30 headphones added to the review

Second one would be medium changes, maybe additional of 2-3 headphones, or alteration of the headphone preferences

Last x would be minor changes, such as changing some minor description or information.

Example:

1.0.0 - Original release

1.0.1 - Updated description for SR-009.

2.0.1 - Additional 7 headphones to the list: LCD2.2, Jade 2... ... etc.

2.1.0 - New comments and rating for Jade. Also with new review the phone, it has been repositioned after R10 heavy bass, pushing HD800, STAX Omega and R10 light bass 1 step down.

 

I think there is no point to included the changes you have done so far unless you still remember them. It would be easier to mark your current review as original content, and start the logging from now.

 

Thanks again for spending your time reading my 0.02.

Great review i upgraded from the DT880 Pro to the SRH-1840 ( cottonball modded)even when not modded i feel it has alot more clarity and a wider soundstage also doesnt have the shreaking treble hahaha, a brighter sound which i like , with my zero dac the bass is enough i dont want anymore bass at all , i felt that the DT880 mashed all the instuments together when the music get "dense"( e.g johnny Cash Hurt  at one point his voice gets very deep and the guitar strumming becomes very very intense and the DT880 started to distort ? i tried it on the 1840 and it maintained without distorting !!!

Are you telling us you play so loudly the 880 distorts? It's a wonder you can hear anything at all.

no its the file my knob is usally at the 9oclock ( 6oclock is no sound ) and songs come out normal volume in this particular song 

johnny cashs voice becomes very intense and well it seems that the studio that did it for him made a db increase in that part of the song , even at low volume i hear this sound( like a plastic bag being moved)  but not on the 1840s
