I have JH16 FPs and UERM. UERM pairs better with my Leckerton and the JH16 pairs better with my Glacier. I think I'm going to sell both the Glacier and the JH16 as the JH16 is unlistenable now, though. Esp with something more fun like the Kaiser/noble 10, I'd want something more along the lines of the UERM rather than the JH16 which is in the opposite direction.

Jerry's coming out with a new ciem line to screw over everyone who just bought one of his ciems. Part of the JH experience.

I don't really know what you're getting at here. Are you suggesting anyone that comes out with new products is screwing over their customers?

I am thinking about arranging a "tour" with the Vostok amp. Let me know if anyone is interested in demoing it. The main issue is that you have to have a pair of electrostatic headphones to do a proper evaluation of the amp. The dynamic amp is not full power on the model I have.

Sounds awesome. I'd fit the bill but I tend to be more objective than most (e.g. holding +-0.2dB level-matching as something of utmost importance). And with my gear being relatively uncommon to downright rare I don't think my findings would be relevant for most people. But I should hope it can at least match such a reference point, costs considered.

I guess I'm thinking specifically how he waited until after one of his dealers bought a jh16 to tell her the rox was coming out...

Besides the circle-jerk thread in HF, impressions on the Roxanne seem to be mostly middling-to-negative, so I'm not too worried. Hated the original JH16 and didn't find the JH13FP to be compelling enough so I'm alright with sitting pretty with their oldest flagship.

All this new technology hasn't really diminished the merits of some older/simpler favorites be it JH, the UERM, or ES5. Then again I stopped upgrading my phone/computer every year and I'm sitting on a twenty-year-old headphone so I guess I err towards practicality rather than novelty.

Thanks for posting the pic and stopping by my table. (It's Darin, BTW. No big deal.) Glad you liked my software.

I was SO busy that I never even had a chance to see anything! At least some people got to come by my table. Anax had time to come by to tell me how bad the Vostok amp sucked. ;-)

Awesome meet though.

I would be interested in demoing it, assuming you're willing to ship it up the west coast a couple states. The only amp I have for my STAX currently is the SRM-212.

I started a thread in the loaner/sharing section of the forum. Head over there and post so I can start compiling a list of people and locations:

So Wtf actually happened with the TekFX booth at the meet? Their owner (?) just posted an apology on the HF thread.

IIRC, it was staffed by people who didn't fully understand the products they were supposed to be demonstrating.  Did anybody ever get a useful explanation of the Fiio X5 UI?
