    D2, hard to make decision to buy you, or not buy you

    My biggest gripe with the D2 is its interface which feels, not *unresponsive*, but... clunky. Scrolling lists, looking for a song/artist etc is an awkward experience, IMHO. I felt this way both before and after getting an iPod touch, btw. (User interfaces overall is a pet peeve of mine since I...

    Awesome Mod: Use Shure Black Olive Foamies on Ultimate Ears Super.fi and/or Triple.fi

    Quote: Originally Posted by rugby10 Have the tips arrived yet, and if so, how did you make out with the Comply's and your SF5P's? Sorry, forgot to check this thread. I've had them for a while now (the Comply T-400) and I have to say my TF10 have gone from so-so fit that I needed...

    GOT DAMN... for SF5's owners!

    I have the new Comply (T-400) for my TF10 and they're simply wonderful. Before trying any serious modding with the Olives etc, try these first. They isolate, they stay in and they're comfortable, something I couldn't say of the UE foams/single flanges/modded ER4 foams I tried before that. The...

    ER4P versus Triple Fi Pro (No Contest, Right?)

    I don't think I'd want to loose any of them, TBH. My ears seem to have some kind of split personality as sometimes I'm in a TF10 mood (with the new comply) and sometimes it's all ER4 (Shure olives), regardless of music genre. The ER4 sure has a wider sound and a bit more sparkle at the top...

    HeadAmp Pico Portable Amp (w/ optional upsampling 24/96 USB DAC) Pre-Order Thread

    I got a shipment notification on Feb 4th (#164 on the list) but according to the USPS-site they've only recieved tracking info i.e. it hasn't really shipped yet but that's over a week ago. I'm guessing this has to do with me being in Europe and Justin might wait for a bulk shipment rather than...

    Awesome Mod: Use Shure Black Olive Foamies on Ultimate Ears Super.fi and/or Triple.fi

    Just an FYI for those who are wary of trying (myself included - well, I actually did try with no success): the new Comply tips should fit right out the bag (I ordered the T-400, tailored for the SF5Pro among others as their stem is of the same size as my TF10Pro from what I've gathered). Waiting...

    Which ER4?

    Well, the P is a bit punchier than the S unamped, IMHO, although that probably differs alot depending on your source. There are probably hundreds of pages discussing this on Head-Fi, btw. I'm using the P unamped with my touch and the S with an amped nano... So in regards to versatility I'd...

    Are Ety's Slowly becoming, I hesitate to say it, obsolete?

    Frequency response frenzy aside, there's one significant non-sound sig related change I'd like to see happen: a less microphonic standard cable. Also, preferably a shorter one would be nice - "is that an Ety cable in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" (even more so when using the...

    New Comply tips coming? TF10 *nozzle size* vs SF5/EB *nozzle size*

    Thanks I'll try the earplug store. Hopefully they'll sell the new Complys soon enough as I'm looking specifically for TF10 tips. Hope the whoomp (who the hell came up with that name anyway?) fits. Even better if they actually add something. Then again, much better if the Yuins sound like...

    New Comply tips coming? TF10 *nozzle size* vs SF5/EB *nozzle size*

    Yes, I think I will, alhough the Comply tips on the site I linked to seem to be IEM specific (i.e nozzle size specific) unlike the ones sold on the westone site. You choose the tip by choosing the IEM you own on the new site and this inludes the SF5/EB why I was hoping they have the same large...

    New Comply tips coming? TF10 *nozzle size* vs SF5/EB *nozzle size*

    Checking here it seems there are Comply tips for the UE SF5/EB (Are these new...? Haven't seen UE compatible Complys before). Since I find modding the Shure black olive tips to fit the TF10 too much of a pain, I'm hoping they are the same size. Pictures seem to support this but I just wanted to...

    HeadAmp Pico Portable Amp (w/ optional upsampling 24/96 USB DAC) Pre-Order Thread

    As requested here's the post. I'd like a gray bodied/knobbed Pico (with silver panels) as in your example above with DAC and 1 feet USB cable. Now, who needs christmas when what I want will probably arrive *after* that particular time of celebrating bearded men in red clothes?

    recommendation for female vocals

    A thread about female vocalists not mentioning: Sandy Denny (of Fairport Convention) and Linda Thompson (new album out: Versatile Heart) is not worth to be called a thread about female vocalists. So there. As for acoustic remakes (not female, sorry): how about Richard Thompson's...
