Didn't own the Truth, but the Answer. I sold it within 3 days.

Very nice bass and good mids, but I had issues with the treble, which I found a bit too hot and grainy. They reminded me of the K3003s tonally, but I preferred the AKGs. Got the Answer because I never bought into the whole cable thing with the Truth. Didn't like the overkill cable of the Answer, btw.

Impressive rendering by the Angies of (23-minute track) A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers off VdGG's masterpiece, Pawn Hearts. I'm now sounding like a broken record, but...the tonal balance, resolution, layering, midrange, treble performance, and rendering of percussion instruments is just superb. Quite an immersive experience.

Well.. update is here.

The dealer told me that it appears that JH/AK is neither able to repair nor supply a replacement for my Angie, and a full refund seems inevitable.

I guess it's just JH/AK being JH/AK... The dealer joked that 'if I planned my business like them I'd go bankrupt in a week'

Sorry to hear that, Griffon. Hopefully, the refund isn't a problem.

I have a jh ciem and bought one for a friend, but I'd really leave JH to the fanboys.

I do like the sound of Angie A LOT, but at this point even though I can get a full refund and find some other place that have stock to buy the Angie again, I'm afraid I want to avoid the hassles of potential failure/waiting time/etc.

Kunlun, I would agree to leave JH for the fanboys ... my distaste of JH/AK combo seems to be growing. I would stop whining in the Angie thread and possibly move on to the JH appreciation thread.

Only a very good, neutral-type, phone—like the Angie—manages to extract—and salvage!—plenty of sonic goodness from this otherwise pretty difficult track to enjoy (from a sonic standpoint):

Having rather poor recordings to test (good) phones is always a very good idea — well-recorded tracks sound, err, very good on virtually any phone!

In keeping with the spirit of this thread (mostly a one-man/sparrow show), and for the benefit of non-audiophile recordings, here's the best version of I wanna be your dog I've heard…rendered very, very aptly by the Angies:

Yours,

A JH Fanboy (Messrs Jerry Harvey & Jerry Springer being my heroes)

PS Great sub-bass performance by the Angies:

Enjoyed this track quite a bit. Thanks

Stellar rendering of this track (top to bottom) by the Angies:

On a separate note, this sent to a very good friend a little while ago:

"Funny how the now "much maligned" Angies sound so good to me (K3003 dejavu)....and yet there seems to be virtually no interest in them — that's good news for the hype-averse sparrow, but pretty odd for a JH phone. I can think of (and think I know the) several reasons why this is so, but still rather curious nonetheless.

Hopefully Mr JH and A&K get their shit together...eventually (!!). Oh, and there's the new AK380...with endless posts by—surprise, surprise—Mr 'I'm So Polite And ALWAYS Wish You All The Very Best", aka Mr XXX, on the dedicated thread — gotta 'admire' XXX's relentless f*cking irritating posts—irritation only matched by the deafening silence by the HF Gods/sacred cows when any sort of f*ck-up by the likes of JH or A&K is all too obvious.)"
