Thanks, and fillipelli, you should do, even if only for those most special of albums/tracks you really like, the sq is worth the effort if recorded from cd optically.
sorry about the double md post, I think my pc is playing up today, made a few double posts just in this thread for some reason?
Afro Rebel, I find these the comfiest with the highest level of isolation too, only trouble is I cant find any in small size as I feel they are a touch to big really, even when rolled down to insert. I have tried shure olives, and the tri and bi flanges (vut down tri flanges) and while the tri flanges are probably the easiest to insert, the foams are definitely the most comfortable... for me, and also actually as a result probably of the great isolation with them, there really is no issue with bass from the ety's, it is tight and deep and precise, truly wonderful earphones.
