It couldn't have been much unless the user was risking damage to their JH13s. It strikes me as semi-crazy to use an actual headphone as a load during RMAA testing.

Shipping in the USA will still be $10 for 2-3 day

Hi Justin,

FWIW, for us Canadians, FedEx would be a much appreciated shipping option to have. USPS shipments are seemingly subjected to the slowest possible processing by Canada Customs (delays of 1-2 months are not unheard of - two t-shirts once took 3 months to get to me).

I can do it by request, I don't think you'll like the rates

J-Dub,
Are you still at 510 15th St. NW? If so, I live down the street from your HQ, closer to the corner - would I be able to just swing by and pick it up to avoid shipping?

I for one hate the FedEx rates, although first rate service, very costly.

From my experience USPS hasn't really been a problem, with maybe just 1 issue. Custom delays aren't usually too bad.

As long as it's not UPS, I'm happy

I actually haven't had problems with any shipping company, UPS, USPS, FedEx or DHL. Guess I'm lucky. I've bought numerous things from eBay, Monoprice and even a couple of items from Head-Fiers and they were all shipped in a reasonable amount of time with no damage and proper delivery (no throwing of packages from the street then driving away for me).

That could be related to where you live

Justin, this option increases my interest in this amp.
Will this be forever fixed, or is there a possibility of "tweaking" it in the future, as asked by dfkt?

Not sure where this quote comes from, or if it's a quote by Justin, or what you actually mean by it.

As I understood it, the whole trickery with the microcontroller inside the Pico Slim was meant to be managed over USB anyways. Meaning, if it could be used as a balance control, you could change the balance while connected via USB, not on the go. Which would be perfectly fine by me.

Was a direct reply to your question about the USB features not being implemented, which was mentioned by Justin earlier in the thread which I can't be bothered to find, but I assure you it's there. Either way it looks like at this point in time, due to time constraints, he will not be delivering the USB upgrading features at this time. Perhaps it's possible he will do so in the future?

Perhaps the slim will have the ability to morph into a giant rabbit.

Personally, I'd prefer an invisible pink unicorn

 

[The Monkey]

It already does that.
