Are the new Ety cables better than they were 2 years ago? Mine has always been so stiff and noisy. I have thought about upgrading for a while now.

I need a new cable for my out-of-warranty ER4P. I think I have narrowed it down to two choices.   - An actual ER4P cable for $85: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290628895406&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123   or   - A Shure cable for $30...

When my first two pairs were promptly replaced, I was singing Shures praises just like you are.  My complaints are: - Build quality sucks.  I love the sound, comfort, isolation, etc.  For the first six months they are awesome.  Unfortunately, the cables crack and crackle, every time.  But, I...

I have absolutely babied my last two pairs.  I wear them over the ears, but I am very gentle with them and keep them in the clamshell.  The cables always fail in the same place no matter what I do.

I am looking at both of those, as well as Westone 2, CK10, and DBA-02.

I have been a loyal customer of Shure for 5 years.  I have dealt with the crappy build quality of the E4 and SCL4 because of their good support.  I have returned my phones for warranty replacement 4 times in 6 years.  I have always received a new retail package until today.  I sent in my fourth...

I need to upgrade from 4+ years of E4C and SCL4.  I would love to try out some different phones before I buy. Anyone know of anything in the Denver area?

I will soon be receiving my fourth pair of SCL4 for warranty replacement.  Since I can't sell these for enough money to buy something comparable, I will be stuck with them until they fail and I have to get pair #5. What can I do to prevent the cable going to crap?  I wear them over the ear. ...

Does anyone know of any places in the Denver area that will allow me to try some different brands before I buy?

I have been a very happy user of the E4 and SCL4 for > five years. The fit, isolation, comfort, and sound have been absolutely perfect for me. I can wear these for hours at a time, with a perfect seal and perfect comfort. I have loved them. But, I am currently on my fourth pair. I have...

Good luck getting a hold of anyone at YM. http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/sh...d.php?t=130025 There are lots of complaints going around about YourMusic and BMGMusic. It is almost as if they are quietly clearing out their inventories in preparation of shutting down. Very little new music...

I got the SCL4 for my E4C. That was about two months ago.

I saw Annie on Broadway 77~78 with Sarah Jessica Parker in the lead role. I have since seen Les Mis, Cats, and Phantom. Love them all.

The cable on the SCL4 is a couple of inches shorter than the E4. Anyone else notice this?

Does anyone else believe that it is an improvement to set the EQ to Flat instead of Off? When it is set to Flat, this means the EQ is enabled, and this affects the battery life, correct? I always believed that: - Flat = Off (Sound quality is identical) - Flat -- The EQ is On and is using...

I have searched and do not see much definitive info about this specific upgrade. Is there anyone who has moved from the 4G to the 6G who does NOT think it is a 100% absolutely fantastic upgrade of SQ? Are there any advantages to sticking with the 4G from a SQ point of view?

I used to love LaLa and praised it up and down. I have 183 trades. However, it has changed. Since the site redesign, I have not had a single request. I have been adding CD's to my Have list, but nothing is happening. I don't know what has changed. Maybe my 'karma' is not high enough.

I just had a pair of E4's replaced when they failed at 1 year and 10 months. I really appreciate how quick and effortless it was to get a brand new pair sent to me. I will certainly buy Shure in the future and will recommend it to my friends. Since I have never used Ety or any others, I can't...

I am very interested in getting my 4G iModded and getting an amp. However, I can't justify it without hearing one first. Is there anyone nearby who has a 4G iModded, and any kind of portable amp? Thanks

Second Spin 1485 South Colorado Boulevard Excellent selection of new and used.

That link to PC Mall worries me. It says triple-flange sleeves, but it shows a picture of the soft flex sleeves??? $8 for 3 pairs of tri-flange is hard to believe.

There is a pretty strong consensus that EQ'ing music is bad. However, putting flat music through an amp that emphasizes the bass seems to be "OK". Is there really a difference in the final product? How does EQ cause distortion when the amp seems to improve the sound similarly without distortion?

I recently acquired Dark Matter as my first introduction to this band. I can't stop listening to it. It is fantastic. I am now shopping for the rest of their catalog. Anyone else appreciate this band? (IQ is a tough term to search for)

My biggest problem with ripping to WAV using EAC is getting the files tagged properly. If you use iTunes to rip the CD straight to ALAC, you will have all tags perfectly. If you rip to WAV, you will have no tags since WAV files can't hold tags. Unless anyone knows of a way to use CDDB to...
