I tried the Slim with my JH13Pro and it's very enjoyable, but it maybe gave them a little more midbass than I prefer, while it improved the bass on my ES3X nicely. My ES3X can be a little edgy on some amps like 3MOVE or Protector, and a little better on a more laid back or smoother/refined amp like Pico Slim, or DACport. But Sherwood agreed he thought his JH13Pro picked up a little bass boost with the Slim as well, and thought the RSA Protector filled out the mids and controlled the bass just a little better.
At CanJAm I compared the Slim to P-51 with my iMod and ES3X, and while the P-51 is very nice with the ES3X, I thought the Slim was a slightly better match. Since the P-51 sounds a lot like the newer Shadow I decided to pass on the Shadow and hold out for the Slim. Blutarsky also liked what the Slim did for his ES3X A LOT, and is dying for his to arrive too.
Interestingly, the UE11Pro also got along great with the Slim too, without the boosted bass you often experience with the 11Pro on the wrong amp. So, I was very pleased with the Slim and UE11Pro combination. This was done using my TWag balanced cable and a TWag single ended adapter. I didn't get to try the UE11Pro with the stock cable. I did try the other two IEM with stock cable and TWag, and the thing that improved the most with the TWag was the detail and transparency, without a big change in frequency response.
