OK, EFN, I'm now up to 3 pairs of ER-4's (2x4S, 1x4P). Custom tips for all. Plus 2xER-6, and I think I still have a couple ER-6i's around someplace, if they're not lent out.

Ok all you Ety freaks, I've pm'd EFN, but he hasn't got back to me yet. I own the E500s and superfi. 5pros, which are pretty different in sig. Both are good, but I'm looking for that one true magical iem. I'm waiting on the Westone 3, but have some money and may want to try some Etys. I always use and amp with my iMod. What should I get....4p or 4s?
I listen to all types of music...

IMHO if you havent listened to ety micropro range before and you listen to lots of various musics, i would recommend buying the er4P model rather that going straight for the S, as the S may scare you off being so deliciously sterile and neutral, the P is a bit warmer and enjoyable, less harsh for some. (but still accurate)
therefore going with P can afford you the P and the S model, by aquiring a 75ohms resistance cable to turn the P into the S, this is good for me as i listen to a lot of musical styles and like the flexibility to switch between them to suit.
i guess to summarise - initially buying the P gives you best of both worlds down the line and doesnt limit you.

ER4S no doubt is made for amplification. The 100 ohms of the 4S will give you a more refined highs and more controlled bass. Beware though, coming from the e500, you won't get the ridiculous/boomy bass, but you will finally hear the roll offs you've been missing. Give the Etys a full week to get used to the signature, than A/B it to the others and you'd see which sound you'll like more.

Quaddy and EFN, thanks for the input! As you both suggested, I'm going to purchase the ER-4p and S cable for the best of both worlds. Head-Fi rocks, but it's killing my wallet.....RIP.

Hey no worries. ER-4P is CHEAP compared to UE-10, UM2, E500 etc.....
But be WARNED!. ER-4 is a Love or hate affair - there's no in between. Many have found ER-4 highs to be a bit over bearing and lack of bottom end fullness to be a deal killer. Specially that you came from UE SP5Pro, it is hard for me to imagine you giving up bass for Ety clinical and somewhat lean sound.
But....let your ear be the judge and hope I can add you to the permanent list of ER-4 owners...
