Nice review there. I can't wait to save up for a pair!
[Review] Audio Heaven – Jerry Harvey Audio’s JH13

No offense meant but that is plain silly. If you read sufficiently on here regarding the JH 13's you will see that Jerry Harvey has stated categorically that the 13's are designed for a listening to music. The 16's for stage monitoring.

So you're in England mate but you went direct to Jerry Harvey, yes? Not via Handheld Audio?
The comment that there was no surcharge on the import interested me - was it marked as a gift?

Just tested this with a couple of my phones for the heck of it (320kbps source material straight from my netbook). At a very high volume it's audible even with my Earpollution Flow earbuds, but to hear it at listening volume I had to go all the way up to the Cyclone PR1 Pro. Still not a very pricy earphone in the grand scheme of things. The AKG K181Dj catches it too.

Yeah, directly ordered them on their web page. They didn't mark it as a gift, but as a "Sample Earphone"
Thanks

Yeah, its easily audible at high volumes. I listen to my JH13s normally at about 15% Volume and it is highly noticeable.

Yeah, I just got the recording. I could hear it fine through RE0 and e-Q7 at volumes of around 70-80 db I am guessing, maybe less cause I am used to listening at really low volumes. At lower volumes, the f part of the word becomes inaudible though. That K181 DJ is pretty detailed BTW.
My guess is that with JH13 Pro, those details just become more realistic because of increased separation and depth to the sound and also more accurate imaging.

What is your source? For me "high volume" for example means about 2% on my Audigy 2 ZS with kX Project drivers or about 70% on Sansa Clip with my 64 Ohm RE0.

Straight out of my upgraded sound card, as stated in the review.
Edit: Might be the drivers of the Sound Card but when I get to about half of the slider it gets very loud. I cannot listen to the JH13s at 100% , they would shatter my eardrums.

May I ask where you saw Handheld Audio selling the JH13's? I can't seem to find it on their site?

Great review and congrats on your new purchase.
Just to confirm I also hear the aforementioned swear sound out of my IEMs - its coming out of the right side of my IEMs though. For those of you with Spotify accounts this is the direct link to it:
Spotify: Fleetwood Mac - The Chain - Remastered LP V..

Just ignore this junior Head-Fier who has been blatantly baiting in the JH16 PRO thread. The moderator was all over him/her like a rash. It was the highlight of the thread for mine.

JH13s...bang for the buck, or buck for the bang? Both, I guess.

Oh I see. Might have to go through them as well when I manage to get the opportunity in buying them. Did you have to pay TAX and were communications with them good?

Today, I received the uDac by NuForce. It pairs extremely well. I will probably write a follow-up on the review within the next view days.
