Hi guys Im still contemplating whether or not to splurge on the ER4's or not. I currently use a Sony MZ- N1 And i would prefer to use it without an amp on the go. I currently hae the EX70's and they seem very quiet. Are the ety's any e3asier to drive ??

hi guys, Just been havin a look at the er6's and they look pretty much like the ex70's. Just wondering if any one has a spec sheet for the ex70's so i can compare impedance etc. Or even better yet a nice review ( including how easy they are to drive, as im stuck with the output from my MZ-N1)

well my new MZ-N1 sounds great and sounds even better through my TA but i slight problem , you can't set the output socket to be line out when the remote is plugged in and that is by far the easiest way to control the thing. i wanna have N1 --> Remote --> TA --> ex70's or DT770's...

Jsut wondering if anyone has tried these ? The T531 has had some great reviews from the mags ( but i dont trust mags ). I trust the opinions of this board far more than i will even trust a magazine anyways the T531 uses BURR-BROWN chips for the CD circuitry, not sure about the T571 ( 5...

I know the video on this player is supposed to be great but i am wondering what the redbook, SACD performance is like. any one tried it ?

Hi guys, my current portable setup runs like Nomad JB --> TA ---> Beyerdynamic DT 770 (250) i wanna get a bit more omphh into the system as the TA on 2 AA's loses a bit of the low end etc. i've tried running at 5V and it does sound quite a bit better. I was thinking of using a 12V...
