Thanks for the detailed reply. I sure appreciate it. I sure wish I could demo.
The Heaven VI has caught my eye as an introduction to FAD. Looking forward to more impressions from MF. How would it compare to a full blast custom like the JH13?
If you were here in Vancouver I would have loved you to have a good long listen to my pair. They are not for everyone thats for sure. I took the chance based upon Paul's experience as I have learned over time that he and I have similar tastes in sound. Yet again it proved to be a wise choice trusting his ears!
As to the JH's I have only heard the 16 and that was with universal tips so it was not really a fair test. I will say what I said a while ago on this thread though. For me the PF's represent a grown up, mature sound, one that does not have to prove anything nor wants to, the JH though is immature to my ears, it tries to impress with HiFi bells and whistles and in the short term that is fine but what I heard was not enough, even taking into account the limitations of the universal tips to make me want to buy them.
I guess for me the JH's are like an American Idol singer singing an aria from an opera, the PF's are like Callas singing the same aria!
