Finally, i just got my 'Jellyfish' at 1 o'clock. I connected the Jellyfish and iQube using the Valgrind RCA-to-Mini.

 

My first impression when I listened to my first track playing Astru Gilberto's 'Garota de Ipanema' is that the instruments in the song are sharper and there is less hisp on the singer's voice. There is also a slight improvement in the bass. There is two times improvement compared to my well-burnt Soniccaps which has been burned-in naturally for about 900+ hours.

 

I gave a call to Victor after listening for about 2 hours and gave him what I have written here. He told me that what I have listened to is just about 20% of its actual capability. Oh my!!!!!!! He told me that I will have to burn it for quite some time. I asked him if 500 hours would do it but he advised me to burn it for longer. From the looks of it, it might take around 1000 hours.

 

Wow! That's going to take some time. I am lucky if I can burn the jellyfish for 300 hours a month. I'll update my impressions every 50 hours for the first 300 hours and after that, every 100 hours.

 

I'd like to share this progress to our fellow Valgrind users!

what is platinum bypass? O.O

 

 

I suspect that instead of using genII sonciaps he's using the platinum ones... probably makes the sound even more awesome!

Victor is right. Give the "jellyfish" some time. I can ensure you that it sound very much better after burn in.

Waah can't wait to receive my jellyfish. ='/

 

OT:

After the Jelly I think this is my time to enjoy my music. With cal's graciousness all my stuff were "cooked". I can't start to describe the nirvana I was in since Saturday. My HD650 was WOW!!!!! Even my portable is singing. I'm using my ESW10 right now and can't take it off. The level of detail, clarity and BASS response is AWESOME.

 

Thank You Cal!!!!! On a side note I will surely bring my Jelly to cal for burn in. =D

No problem, bro. Glad you enjoy it.

It's nice to see that those who have or tried the Jelly have good impressions. Mine's still morphing. Wish I could have mine 'cooked' but have to make to do with natural burn-in. it's great to hear positive reviews. Kudos to everyone!

I finally got a chance to try the Irukandji. I know some people will have to irk on my statement but. The reality is the irukandji just trashed my fully burned-in Valgrind Sonic caps.

 

I actually had two "Wows". First was just plugging in my IMOD via LOD to the line in socket. From there I heard the difference from my caps the soundstage and details was awesome. I realize that there was more to my music.

 

The second one was using the imod directly to the DOCK it was even BETTER by a factor of 2x or more.

 

IMO the irukandji with a IPOD/IMOD directly on the Dock is a Day and Night difference compared to the burned in Sonic Cap. I actually had to sleep it off last night so I can forget teh SQ and get back to enjoying my music as the music wasn't the same on my rig when I got home and I got sad.

 

A Word of Caution, if you are not planning to be poisoned one should stay away from from the deadly but AWESOME jellyfish. Waah really excited to get mine!!!!
