Hey Kostalex, how does IE8 compared to Tm5 in terms of SQ(imaging and soundstage) and sound sig? Always thought these two should be very similar.

I lost my TM5 long ago. Sometime my audio-memory serves well. In this case it does not, unfortunately.

My iMOD + Xin Supermini III with bass boost and crossfeed designed specifically for the ER4s takes the Ety's up a notch. That being said, I now definitely want to hear the RE272. You have convinced me. If I do, I'll post my comparison. 

 

BTW, referring to the other post about the Ety hf3, it's not in the same league as the ER4p or s. I own it mainly because of the fact that it isolates, has a mic to take calls and is easier to drive straight out of my iPhone. It does sound very nice and neutral for $100 however. 

 

Checked the price of the FX700, no longer interested unless someone I know has one to try out.

Yeah, XINs are great with Etys. But, have you tried HM-602 or HM-601? I loved Supermicro > ER-4P/S so much. I plugged it anywhere :) - into 5.5gen LOD, Pico DAC/amp, HDP... Even into WooAudio 3 preamp outs, resulting in kinda hybrid amp :) SM IV has been improving anything, until I received HM-602. To me, SM IV could not add anything over HM-602 headphone out. They seemed to be on par, somewhat similar  (warmth, dark highs) though with some differences. I was interested and going to compare them carefully on vacation, write a review probably. Then I lost SM IV, so I am not sure whether they were on par indeed. Nevertheless, HM-602 has much to offer for Ety lover with no extra amping.

Haven't heard the HM-601/2 but it sounds pretty compelling. I'm still pretty happy with the iMOD.

Hey Kostalex, what is the nozzle size on re272? Is it big like re0 or small like re252? Looks big to me...

It's same as RE-0. Seems to be a wee bit larger too.

Tried RE272 with ZO2. It's like they are made for each other. Bass is much more pronounced (at yellowish-green contour) and the presentation is on warmer side. This is gold.
