I don't ascribe to the "more drivers, the better" school of thought, either. It would seem the potential for something going wrong is increased six-fold. And, it would also seem more difficult to make a six-driver unit sound organically whole.

In the speaker world (most of my experience) a two-way monitor often sounds more coherent than a three or four-way loudspeaker. Often, but not always.

When designed properly, a three or four-way loudspeaker will do everything the monitor does, but add a sense of "ease" and "fullness" throughout the entire frequency range, making (for me) a more pleasant listening experience.

My guess (and hope), as I'm still seriously considering picking up a pair of these, is that JH13's fall into this category.

What went wrong with the Livewires?

I just got back from Jerry's shop and the JH13 Pro sounded amazing. I had a great discussion with Jerry about his products and it's obvious he's very passionate about what he does. You can rest assured this guy knows what he's doing when it comes to sound.

I saw all your impressions neatly organized and ready to go. I believe he got in the last driver that he's been waiting on (not positive though). Anyway,hopefully it will only be a few weeks until some of you have the product in your hand. I'll give some of my impressions of the 13 pro later.

Here is the universal demo:

I don't suppose you guys talked about him offering the option of 'recasting' the customs later on for a fee (like what westone does) to mold them for a new ear?

 

[TXMUSCLE]

What do you guys think of this portable rig? I'm leaving headfi after I get this rig I hope

Imod/DIYmod -> DIY silver LOD/ALO LOD -> Pico/Pico Slim -> JH|13

 

[Iron_Dreamer]

Sounds like a great fit to me. The volume control of the Pico Slim is just what the doctor ordered for IEM's. I just can't wait to get an updated Pico amp/DAC with that volume control implementation.

I did he said he can work something out if the situations arises but he then also said that he has never had anyone approach him with that issues in the 14 years he has been in the business

Sounds like you will be all done and ready to leave - but maybe you'd stick around and share your thoughts about it too.

haha seems a similar rig as me. only source different

we can then compare the difference of the rig and our preference hehe... Most likely it will be our last upgrade for a long time.

 

[Bojamijams]

I'll be doing a similar rig.. imod, copper LOD, slim, jh-13

Its not that there would be any issues.. I'm just wondering if he'll offer the service so that .. in a way.. these can gain some resale value when he unleashed the JH-15 or the JH-13i sometime later and the bug bites again

 

[hockeyb213]

well but what I said I meant he will be willing to do it but I do not know what he will be offering price wise. I would not be counting on anything in selling terms but more if you need to get them redone after a few years when your ears grow.

His usual customers must be rich enough that they just buy new pairs when the old ones don't fit right anymore.

I think someone mentioned this video earlier in this thread but here is the link to the Tekzilla video that mentions the JH Audio customs (including showing off Kobe Bryant's own custom UE pair that I thought was kind of cool, whether you like the Lakers or not

).

Headphones from $20 to $1400

EDIT: I figured for those that don't want to watch the video, here's a screenshot of Kobe Bryant's UE pair:

Actually those are UEs. You can see pictures of his customs as well as other atheltes and celebrities customs on UE's site.

 

[hockeyb213]

indeed those are traditional UE marketing they had those along with a few other pairs on their table.
