There will be no hesitation in getting me one of these :/
Anti-Hype Force Field Engaged --- There are a few questions that need to be answered before we declare Roxanne the Siren of Sirens:
- First, the bass adjustment knob thingy is essentially a potentiometer. How much noise/IMD/THD does that thing introduce to the sound?
- Second, if it's a three groups of four drivers, then it's essentially a doubled-up JH13 FP. I'm not saying that quadruplet drivers aren't of benefit (twin motors do indeed significantly reduce vibration, in turn allow for lower distortion), but are they really quadruplet drivers? Or are they two dual drivers attached together in a single group, like the JH16's bass drivers? Also, if it's still a three way system with what I imagine to also be a triple bore outlet, then FreqPhase as an implementation is essentially unchanged.
- Third, how much more will the new proprietary plug force the faceplate to extend from the sagittal plane (essentially at the mid-clavicular line) --- perhaps that will actually help in enabling JHA to stuff all those drivers in?
- Last, is that a true carbon fiber layup, or is it a thinly-cured UV shell with a single layer of CF under-wrapped to give the guise of a CF shell? There are lots of different carbon fiber types in different tensile strengths and moduli of elasticity, as well as different patterns of weaves for individual sheets. Different layup techniques require different types of resin and curing. If it is a true CF shell, then how can we ensure that the resin material is hypoallergenic?
Aftermarket cables are going to be a bitch to make. Will it even be possible?
Will it even be necessary? If the CIEM is tuned with the stock cable and sounds amazing (we hope) out of the stock cable why would we need to change it?
I really like how the cable is reinforced and screwed down where it meets the body of the CIEM. That means the pins shouldn't bend and that spot will no longer be a point of weakness.
