^^^ Yeah, I saw that. 18" not 18' !
OP. Would it not be better to use an extension cable?

When I listened to my JH13’s for the first time, I wasn’t impressed at all with the sound. And I thought to myself ‘Is this it?? Is this what I spent all that money on??’. I now realize that this happened because I had hyped myself up way too much and there was no IEM in the world that could have lived up to those expectations. Anyway, after using them continuously for 4 or 5 hours I did the acid test – plugged in my IE8’s. And boy, was I blown away - blown away how bad the IE8’s (which I had treasured for over a year) sounded compared to the JH13’s! So I recommend you do the same test and if you still find the IE8’s sound great after a few hours of using the JH13’s, then there’s a real problem! |

I was trying to help Flimberson since it sounded like he had the same initial problem as I did. Now, maybe due to actual or brain burn-in, they always sound amazing, regardless of what I’ve just been using. And for the record, they destroy the IE8’s. And that’s coming from somebody who thought the IE8’s were god’s gift to the IEM world! (Well, I still think they are god’s gift to the IEM world, only now he gave us a much better pair!) |
