If you still love Etymotic ER4, this is the thread for you...
The plastic nozzle on my ER-4P broke when I was trying to put on a foam tip (similar to the picture below). I found replacement housing on AliExpress. Does anyone here have experience replacing their broken Ety housing or know of someone or a place who does? I have not yet found an easy way of...- Mic

Need recommendations for a DAC
Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations for a DAC, budget is $2500-ish max. At office, I think that my weakest link right now is my source so I'm looking to upgrade that to one that provides balanced input along the entire link. Also, it would be nice to be able to switch between still using...- Mic

Home theater newbie needs help
I'm in a market for new receiver and speakers that I intend to build around a new Sony BRAVIA KDL55HX820. My budget is probably around 2-3k total. I also intend to hook up a Wii, PS3, Sony XA-777ES, and ~2002 Headroom Max Senn HD600/Ety-ER4S. I intend to use it probably 50/50 music/HT. Any...- Mic

Hey Promedia Ultra 5.1 owners!
I've got a really lame question. My center currently sits on top of a 21" CRT, so it's like a foot above my head. How do you use the adjust thing in the back so that the center would point down?- Mic

Need Audigy 4 upgrade advice
I've read as many reviews on the A4 as I could. From what I can gather, the A2 was significantly better than the A1 in terms of sound quality. Given that many reviews say that A4 is better than A2 and nearly EMU in quality, I'm thus leaning more towards A4. The reviews also throw in the caveat...- Mic

Need Audigy 4 upgrade advice
From my research, it seems that A4 is pretty good in terms of music playback. 3DSS concluded that it beat Revo 7.1 (A4>Revo 7.1>A2ZS). But then again, I use my XA-777ES for serious music listening . I guess I have this problem of getting the "near best" stuff as you can see from my gear. At...- Mic

Need Audigy 4 upgrade advice
EAX standars is not really relevant since Creative released EAX4 support drivers for all the Audigy family of cards. I'm really just looking at sound quality. The breakout box is nice, but not an absolute necessity. My other options are 1) do nothing 2) Audigy 2 ZS Gamers for $80 after rebate.- Mic

Need Audigy 4 upgrade advice
Hi all, I currently have an Athlon XP 1700+, 512MB PC2100 RAM, SB Audigy Platinum setup. I'm thinking about upgrading to the SB Audigy 4 since I can get it for $210 with rebates. I mainly use the PC for games (very little FPS, typically older EAX titles), DVDs, and occassional MP3s. I...- Mic

Someone STOP me!
Thanks for all your suggestions. I did get her some cheapie speakers last year but they were unpowered and alas you can't hear anything out of them. I wasn't so much thinking so much about myself but it sure is true that speakers aren't exactly romantic. I guess I'll go with the cheapie...- Mic

Someone STOP me!
Hi all, I'm looking at getting a gift for my girlfriend and am thinking about some speakers for her computers. I'm looking at a budget of <=$200. So far, it seems like Swans M200 2.0 is the unit to get and I'll probably throw in the Chaintech AV-710 to give proper quality budget input. Is...- Mic
