So I presume that the Slim is great with the JH13s ?

I've had a chance to listen to the slim with my jh13s a few times now, and most recently had it for a few days to try it out. It's a great jh13 amp. As I'd mentioned in posts before, one of the main reasons I chose the slim as my jh13 amp is the volume control, and how it improves sound quality at very low volumes with perfect channel balance. As I often need/want to listen at low volumes, I've yet hear any amp that can bring out the clarity at nearly inaudible levels.
When I had it here at home, I kept thinking I need to do some critical listening, compare with and without, etc., but I ended up just enjoying the music, trying out this song and that one, too much to do any of that.
As far as hiss goes, there's none. If you've got no music playing, and you turn the volume all the way up, you'll hear that fuzzy sound, but seriously, if you're going to max out the volume while playing music, you deserve whatever you get....hopefully some hearing damage for your stupidity.
There's a feature on the prototype that I'm not sure Justin is keeping on the final slim. If turn the power switch off when the volume is turned up, and turn it back on again, it will automatically start out low and then increase up to where you had the volume set. It takes a few seconds, if you have it set at mid-level listening volume, with iems. I tried it out with Grado 225s, and takes a bit longer.
After having it here for a few days, I'm eager to get the final product.
