Good luck, I have been searching for an IEM comparable to grado cans for years. Have not found one yet...

Well on my quest for the perfect IEM for power metal. I have not found a good match yet! I have tried the following.... UM2= to warm and no good highs, sloppy bass SF 5 Pro= bass to sloppy and not clean enough all around. JH5 Pro= to laid back, very compressed sound stage, highs are not...

If anyone is interested, I posted my JH5's in the FS forum.

I would get the real UE10's and remold them.

I will have to pass on the Rx then.

Does the ALO Rx suffer at all with hiss?

I wanted to post up, as I have been listening to the 5's with my go vibe 6 amp. ALO jumbo silver dock and cyro dock. Earlier I said they did not seem to scale up very well amped. Defiantly jumped to conclusion way to early. Been using the amp for 3 weeks now. This is no joke, the 5's are...

Todd, Are you considering a loaner program for this amp like some of your others?

Anyone compare the new classic to an imod yet??

Skylab, will you be reviewing the new slim TTVJ amp?

It seems like tons of people hate the 1G touch. I do find the HP out very hissy and flat (boring) sounding. When you try the line out though, it sounds very good. A touch warm and very detailed. Nice imaging and soundstage... I'm thinking about getting a better amp now. Maybe I just prefer...

Quote: Originally Posted by barleyguy I think a lot of it has to do with high frequencies (both extension and phase accuracy). That's where the "air" is. The JH13 definitely has superior high frequencies to the JH5, and I think that makes it sound more open. Also, I think with open...

Quote: Originally Posted by aj_brown_99 I think one thing you have to get used to/understand with IEMs is that it is not so much of a sound stage in front of you, as it is the placement inside your head. IEMs are just not capable of laying out a soundstage in front of you like speakers...

How about the SE530 and ER4P combined??

Quote: Originally Posted by tigon_ridge I thought the same thing. Maybe to his ears he really does like those Grados that much better. Anyways, sorry for the OT posts, guys. I'd really like to know a little more about the JH5's frequency extension and imaging capabilities. No matter how...

Cool, sounds alot like the JH5.
