I've tried cleaning some Ety foamies with soap and hot water. They lose a lot of their liveliness afterwards, i.e. kinda crunchy and don't spring back so well. Still better than dirty ones and seal ok if they were plenty big for your ears in the first place. Don't use peppermint soap tho... youch

Just use a really fine gauge and you won't have any problems... I was just using some Rat Shack .032" 96/4, it melts pretty quickly.

Thanks again, null! Schematic is cut & pasted together from some pics in another post by KPOT...

Hey Iron Dreamer, care to fill us in on the mods you're making? I've been eyeing possibilities on this thing for a while, but haven't touched it as I'm either listening or busy As far as volume sliders go, are you sure you want the master all the way up in hi-rez mode? I think it's...

Has anyone thought about attempting a p->b adapter for their etys? I was thinking it could be possible to approximate the B's response for binaural recordings by changing the values of the two resistors and capacitor to accomodate for the extra 24 ohms resistance in the P, but have no idea...

Anyone know what purpose those SMT components (looks like two resistors and a cap per channel) next to the output jack serve? Wondering if they could be eliminated/bypassed...
