I just want to add that I also found AMP3 to be incompetent, if not outright dishonest. And they have yet to respond to even one of my dozen or so emails. It was a very frustrating experience, to say the least. Frank

So, since I soldered my shielding back together, I'm grounded or ungrounded, as intended. Is that right? Frank

Thank-you, EFN. So Red is right and Black if left and White is common ground. REALLY small gauge wires. My observation was that EACH of the coloured wires had the non-metallic wire for strain support. I did solder the silvery shielding sleeve, but I guess that it wasn't necessary...

Hello all. I have found the 5' cable that came with my Ety ER-4P is way longer than I need. So, I determined that I would shorten it to about 2.5'. I carefully cut into it, and isolated each of the cables. There were (3) very light gauge insulated cables, white, black and red, plus a...

Thank-you, one and all. Both for your succinct answers, and for not calling me an idiot. I swear, I looked and looked, but could not find my number of postings. Best regards.................Frank

Hi. I went to list an item for sale, and found that I can not do so until I have a minimum of 50 postings. I went to the User CP to try and determine exactly how many posts I currently have to my credit, but I could not determine how to do this. Can anyone tell me exactly how to...

Thank you, folks, for your fast, concise replies. I appreciate the help. Frank

Hi. Can anyone definitively tell me if the Sony S638 supports true 'drag and drop' file managment? Can I use my home computer to move and arrange MP3 files on the S638? How about the newest generation of Apple iPod nano? Does it support drag and drop? Thanks for your...

ER-4P's for me. Love 'em.

I think that 1 o'clock, when viewing the right profile is the same as 11 o'clock, when viewing the left profile. Frank

Okay, so two more folks saying that the ER-4S should work out just fine driven by JUST my iAudio 7. I checked out the "Pictures of my Portable Rig" thread, but it is 45 pages long, and I really couldn't find the member referenced. After doing some more searching, however, I did find a member...

You make a very good point, xnothingpoetic. Thank-you for elaborating. What do you think of the idea of putting a 75 ohm resistor in the earphone cable? This would be a 'custom' cable, but I believe that I've read on this fourm that some people prefer it to either the 25 or 100 ohm Ety...

Thank-you, Guns, for your input. So you think that I'll be fine, huh? I run my iAudio 7 at about sound level 25 now (out of 40 max), so going to 30 would be no big deal. However, I have no idea if the output levels of the Q5W are the same as on my I7. Dear Mr. xnothingpoetic, I don't mean...

Hi. I own a set of Ety ER-4P earphones, and love them. For a combination of reasons (money available, shorter length and straight mini-plug desired, possible SQ improvement), I am going to purchase a new cable from APureSound. Both Alex and Heli from APureSound recommend the ER-4S...

Thank-you, Legin, for giving me the answer that I was seeking. Both the "Black Soft Flex Sleeves" or "Black Foam Sleeves" look like olives to me, so I could never tell which everyone was referring to. In fact, the black soft flex sleeves look even MORE like olives to me. Again...
