I was wondering about the advantages of this upgrade. Has this been a worthwhile path for you? Thoughts or links.

I could send you the money for the units. we both win. (with a slight Head-fi member discount from you!) Yes, you still get the standard power supply when you buy the Astrodyne. (It's separate.) The JH13 are a little less sensitive than the UE11, so hiss is a little less. They're still IEMs, and are quite sensitive. If there is hiss, you will hear it if you try. |

I did ask if they could remove the Astrodynes from my order since I was ordering a DPS but was told no dice. Which is rather annoying, because every additional item that I get here means more weight and volume that I need to take care of should I move back to the States or just to store in my tiny flat. EDIT: My package is now at Hong Kong International Airport. Man... now I have to wait a whole day for them to go not even a 1000th of the distance it has traveled in the past 24 hours. |
