Just preordered over the phone at adorama...  Can't wait to get them!

Is earphone solutions the best place to get the quickest pre-order shipping if I place the order now?

To the OP: If what you say is the truth, then you have a broken pair of e500's. Try another pair. When I was first getting into in-ear headphones, I first tried the Etymotic ER-4S with 2 amps (1 tube one SS) and I found them to be hideous sounding, for the reasons you describe the Shures...

Yeah, I've tried 5751. Slightly different flavor on the same sounding amp

Solude - Thanks for the recommendations. I'm assuming you've heard each of these three amps? Have you heard them with the Sennheiser 580/600/650?? Can you go into some detail regarding the relative strengths/weaknesses of these three amps? MsHan - Thanks for the rec. Ironically, the review...

MsHan - Please refer to the 3rd sentence in my post. The one that says "Yes, I played with different tubes in the amp." I tried a number of tubes for both the EL84s and the 12AX7 and while they had slight effects on changing the sonic signature of the amp - the MG Head maintained its overall...

Hello. I have the Senn 650 and the original MG Head. Yes, I played with different tubes in the amp. Sources include the Nottingham Spacedeck with Denon 103R for analog, and Jolida jd100 and Ah Tjoeb for digital. On simple music such as acoustic guitars and vocals, the combination is absolutely...

The transit has no volume control

How bout this - Xin Supermacro V3 with with the 627 op-amps - $340 M-Audio Transit - $75 Total- $415 VS M-Audio Audiophile USB - $155 With the Shure E5c is there even any reason to spend the extra money? If not, I'd rather spend the money upgrading my home sub to a REL or upgrading...

Hi there. Just bought a Headroom Total Bithead for use in between my laptop computer and my Shure E5c headphones. It's going back because there is WAY too much hiss with these headphones. I also wasn't exactly impressed with the sound, but I would have kept it if it didn't have the hiss. The...

I remember seeing the Senn 580s in some music video while I was in Europe in '02. I think it was the ketchup song or something. One of the chicks was wearing them. I was like "Good choice!"

Hi. Just wanted to send out a note for potential earbud buyers. I bought the Ety ER4s a while back and hated them. I used an amp (MG Head) which yes, isn't the perfect amp for them, but it's a good amp regardless. These earbuds sounded thin, had no bass, no life. They just did not float my boat...

Hello. I am interested in recording my vinyl to hard drive. i'm sure bits and pieces of this have been covered - but regarding the whole process... What are all of the steps necessary? What I want to do is connect an M Audio Audiophile USB to my preamp somehow (what connection does it hook...

SO... A little while ago while I was was coding at work and thinking how much more fun I'd be having if I was home listening to my MAGIC HIFI DREAM MACHINE, it came to me that I should get a headphone setup for me at work to help pass the time faster. At home I use the Sennheiser HD600 and...

Hello! I would like to start listening to music at work, and unfortunately my Sennheiser HD600s are too obtrusive to use at work. (too big, and too loud) The plan is to rip my vinyl collection to hard drive, and play back with the M audio Audiophile DAC into my headphone amp (I have an MG...
