How hot should the Jot get? Mine gets pretty hot to the touch, and even the volume knob gets pretty warm.

That is normal for all of Schiit's designs. Class A stuff gets warm, and even Pivot Point can apparently get a bit toasty. That should be expected when it can output as much power as it does.

The best cable, hands down, for the money: http://forzaaudioworks.com/en/product.php?id_product=81
If you want to customize the length just send them an email. Matt is fantastic to work with and makes a high quality, sturdy product that is a joy to use and look at. It also sounds great.
Also, you always want 115V for American use.
Don't understand why "noob", depends on where are you living.

Do some quick testing on cables to see if you are special and can hear the difference. As others in various thread have noted a new expensive cable always solves an issue, if the sound is too warm the new $$$$ cable tightened up the bass and gave it better definition, treble too hot, the new cable brought it under control, you never hear of a bad result with a cable change, why, someone needs to justify to them selves that they spend money for nothing. If anything do yourself a favor and test the cable, have someone change the cable and see if you can notice the difference, if you do then the change would be worthwhile to you, if you can't notice any difference then move on and use the money for more music, another headphone, an amp, or a DAC, gear more likely to have an effect on the sound.
I highly recommend re-terminating the stock hd650 cable to 4 pin xlr for the Jotunheim if you want to try a balanced cable. IMO the forza, cardas, and other cables that cost $100+ aren't worth the money if you purely want better sound, as the stock hd650 cable is really good. Personally I have an Impact Audio cable and while it looks and feels fantastic, it made no difference in sound. I'm going to be making my own custom braided HD650 cable here soon, but only for the looks and ergonomics.
Do you work for them??
What a none-statement. ''best cable, hands down, fro the money" ///
- Compared to what?
- Based on the fact that you don't even have a Jot?
Woah dude, calm down, sorry for the hyperbole, I've just been very happy with my Forza cables. They don't claim to improve every facet of sound, but they feel and look amazing while only being about 200 bucks for a great cable, so compared to other cables in the category at and above that price point, it's a great value. When recommending a cable I shouldn't have to own the amp or headphone to recommend one, it's mostly about ergonomics, looks, and value to me with cables.
I guess I'll just leave this thread, then.
