I have a pair of ER4-P earbuds and have wanted to try this for a long time. I finally gave it a shot yesterday, and it worked fairly well. I was able to clean old foam eartips so I could reuse them. Here's how I did it. Purchase some hydrogen peroxide from the pharmacy. Pour a small amount in...

I'm going to by an mp3 player for my daughter for Christmas. I like the Rio Carbon because of the small size, 5GB, audible support, WMA support, and the battery life. However, it appears that the case is totally sealed and thus one cannot replace the battery when it becomes worn out. Is this...

I just discovered a wonderful new use for my Etys. I recently got a TiVo and so I've been a couch potato lately. We have a very open floor plan in the house so the location where the TiVo is located is open to the kitchen, dining room, bedroom. When watching TiVo, it can be quite annoying...

I have a very old Awia bookshelf system that is starting to die. We use it for the TV, XM Radio, and to play CD's. Hmmm... since I don't have a DVD player in that room, perhaps I should get a cheap DVD player and then get a receiver. I need to drive two sets of speakers. One by the TV and one...

Grado, Thanks for the heads up. I'll try my Onkyo on it. However, if it plays fine, Blue Note is certainly NOT off the hook. They put a bunch of copy protection crap on it and if it doesn't play right on ALL my players, then they have released an inferior product. BTW, I have received no...

Robert, Yes, CT appears to be the land of corrupt politicians these days. Or at least they're getting caught these days. However, Waterbury's former mayor is a real piece of work. I see you are a "code wrangler". So am I. I keep waiting for my job to be outsourced to India. It's happening...

Yesterday I gave a careful listen to Norah Jones' CD "Feels Like Home". Great content, horrible quality. At first I thought it was my equipment, but after some experimentation I knew it was the disc. Reading around the forum, I find that this disk is copy protected. This really pisses me off. So...

I agree with maczrool. A typical album has 12 to 14 tunes. That means I'm spending an average of $13 for a CD. But I don't have the CD. I must burn that myself and put it in a case. No liner notes either. Now they are starting to drop the prices of Cds to a list of $13. Which means I can...

"There Will Be No Further Writing Possible"... until you erase the disk and start again.

I find a huge difference between listening with my Ety4p's directly from my SlimX or from my Meta42. Much more detail and clarity. The music seems more alive. You mention a "jukebox". Is your source MP3? If so, there may not be much difference to hear.

In one year, over $1000. However, I know have two subscriptions to XMRadio so If I never buy anything else, it will still go up.

Steve, First off, my sincere wishes for a complete recovery. I know quite a few friends that have endured the treatments and gone on to live full cancer free lives. I recently found Dana Glover's 1st CD Testimony to be one of my favorites. She has a great voice. You may want to check out...

All I can say is YIKES!!! Unexpectedly, I'm getting a modest refund.

I just discovered Grey Goose myself. Very smooth. Great with a small amount of tonic and of course lime. Bombay & Tonic (w/lime) Mount Gay Rum & Tonic (w/lime) Appleton Estates Extra Old Rum & Tonic (w/lime) Red wine. A decent cab or merlot, or a red zin. Frangelico. I love the smell...

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense.

I've been listining to Norah Jones sing "Don't Know Why" by Jesse Harris, but I have no idea what some of the lyrics mean. Apparently she decided to dump her lover but I don't understand the reference to "house of fun" and "bag of bones". Any one care to take a shot at it? I waited...

These guys have WAY too much time on their hands!

I bought it last year.

It's a replacement cable that fixup made. I don't like the microphonics of the original cable. He doesn't make them anymore but here are do it yourself instructions: http://www.fixup.net/tips/ety/ety.htm If you want to convert from 4p to 4s he has adaptors that will convert for you. Browse...

I am so bummed. I was working in the yard yesterday and had my etys in with my MP3 player. When I was coming back into the house I managed to catch the wire on the door knob and ripped the wire right out of the bud. I had purchased a new fixup cable so that's the one I destroyed. I'm going to...

You guys are killin' me. You're KILLIN' me. Now I want one of these too! Can someone compare the quality to mp3 compression. Is the quality equal to 128kb or is it higher? Would I want to listen to it thru my meta42 and my Etys? The streaming broadcasts from their web site is great. You...

I code in C++. It is difficult for me to use coding and fun in the same sentence. After 29 years, it ain't fun anymore. It's work, and that's that. I probably get the award for the most boring assignment here. I work on code that sorts mail lists into USPS approved presort order, so people...

Yes, I like "Anything But Ordinary" too. Also, "Things I'll Never Say" is good. I'm a little disappointed with the production. It's all a little flat.

Will a drill work or does it snag the foamie and ruin it?
