I have number 111 Pico Slim arriving soon, so you might be one of the first in UK to hear that too! Glad to let you demo the gear at a mini meet. I'm looking forward to hearing the iMod, ALO PV-Cap to Pico Slim to JH13. I have a bunch of LODS and stuff to experiment with too. PM me for location or phone number. Regards Sceptre

Now there's an offer! A mini-meet in a real pub with jars of real ale....wish I could join you both...!!! Let us know the outcome if you get together......the beer I mean!

My local was a 17th century thatched pub, but it burnt down on Wednesday afternoon

We'll find somewhere else.
Will reply to Fortis PM later today.

What did you do????????

 

[Sceptre]

Listened on my JH13's at home with a beer!

 

[AVU]

had the shadow, but ultimately decided on the iBasso D4 with the highflight upgraded opamps. Incredible DAC, which I use a lot of the time, and sound is spectacular with a true 9.6v battery.

because i own the protector and have not heard the Rx, im happy you say that

now we just need the Pico Slim to come out, its the only one i think may be able to compete. its digital volume is supposed to be pretty sweet.

The Protector is seriously good with the JH13+TWag balanced cable, MUCH better than D10 and my Protector is nowhere burned in yet while my D10 has +500 hours on it

do you like them with the protector more than your ety er4's with the rudi balanced?

The answer to that one will have to be yes. While I do love the ER4 it is not up to the level of the JH13 even in my monster version. The ER4 however are getting less and less head time but each time when I do plug them in I rediscover the love and marvel at how good they are. I have been toying with selling them since they get so little use but I don't think I ever will.

yeah, its hard to ever let that first love go. but i can certainly understand that from the techincal aspects the jh-13's surpass the er4's. Though that is a pretty sick setup. You should get an adaptor and try the jh-13's out of the Rudi

I have tried to let my Jungson cd player feed the Protector and the Protector+JH13 is certainly able to compete with the RPX-100+Ed8. Two different flavours with somewaht different strengths and the RPX-100+Ed8 would win out in the end but the difference is really very small given the 6X price difference in the amps. I'm not likely to get an adaptor to run the JH13 from the RPX-100 as for home use I prefer ordinary cans as they are a lot easiere to operate when people want to get in contact with me, just lift a cup instead of having to unscrew an earpiece.

That is true, and is the only reason why i would buy a fullsize can, but ive yet to find one that i like even close to as much as my JH-13's, not even the HE-5 or the hd800's, so i guess im between a rock and a hard spot lol ill jsut stick with the 13's for now

dammnit, if I still lived in Stortford I would have tagged along and brought my mini3.
Oh and Fortis, you must build a Starving Student

when I get around to it I will make you a PCB then its about £20 in components, tenner for the tubes and a fiver for the PSU. I've got some tube sockets you can have too
