Jade II Discussion

[PeteSTRADAMUS]

Guess you don't know? The Shangri la is better than the Susvara. You getting the much improve Susvara if you go and buy the JR!

Lol, and where am I going to plug it in? I'm not even remotely close to being ready for the Electrostatic game.

I have no need for that right now. I still didn't buy the Susvara. That has to come true before anything else. I hope this Jadeii system sounds any good. I didn't hear it a @ Canjam this year.

Nope, you'll just end up selling again. JR will end that journey for you!

Now, aren't you just terrible! lol I know I can't hold onto a pair of headphones if they were superglued to my head. I would sell my head hahaha.

Problem solved. I am also selling a Stax SRM-353X!

Shangri-la and 353x is on sale currently and they wonderfully pair nicely.

Lol, I'm sure you'll find a buyer who isn't currently cheap. And is buying with his eyes more than his pockets.

Being the only actual person here that has Jade II and Jr, i say they are more different than anything else. And Jr and 009 are also VERY different. I have a KGSSHV Carbon coming in and will benchmark them both again.
The Jade for the cost is extremely good sounding.

Mr.Spice, you can always fund an "A" item for me lol

 

[protoss]

Dose it count that I am the only one here with the Original Jade and the JR.

So, yea the Jade II has to live up to its predecessor! Its a must! The original Jade was challenging and battling the HE90. The JADE II is not fighting anybody as I know it. Its the son that is trying to get name recognition from a "Brave New World'.

After a few minutes of listening the very first thing I can say is that the volume is terrible. It's embarrassing. Thoroughly disappointed. But so far the mid range is pretty sweet. To be continued.

Not sure if they are pre-broken in or not already, but mine needed at least 10hrs before it started to not sound lean and anemic.

The volume is too low. On max. I will deft burn overnight. Otherwise if they sound like this louder than I'll be impressed. The mids are so nice already

This is the tour from Hifiman. I'm pretty sure I'm first here in US. They are brand spaking new.
