UE600 upgrade from Super.Fi 3?
Logitech offered me the UE600 as a warranty replacement for the Super.fi 3, so I can either wait until they are back in stock or take the "upgrade". What do you all think?- gibson5469

Can anyone give me (and noobs) some cliffs?
It's been awhile since I stayed up on IEM's, 2008 to be exact. ER6i and super.fi 3 were the defacto standard sub $100 offerings, and other smaller brands were just making an appearance. Still have my SCL4's, which I'm quite happy with. Got in the logitech super.fi 3 deal, and just kramer modded...- gibson5469

SCL4 Nozzle Replacement
How long have the nozzles on your Shure IEM's lasted you? Can't recall the last time I used my SCL4's but they certainly worked fine then and when I went to use them today the sound out of one side was lower so I swapped nozzles and they the problem was now in the other side. Clearly the nozzle...- gibson5469

a nice addition to my scl4's?
I hate to buy some more phones so soon after getting my scl4's but I can't help being curious about something with a more "fun" sound. With the current sale on Altec's rebranded super.fi 3 (uhp 336) I was thinking about picking those up, I have $30 off from buy.com so they would only cost me...- gibson5469

Finally got the SCL4's
I guess they arrived at my house from music123 a few days after I left for school. Finally got around to picking them up. All I can say is "WOW". The the mids are super clean/clear and slightly forward. The highs are amazing as well, and the bass is punchy and tight. Listened to porcupine...- gibson5469

Monitor phones
Looking for some phones to use for mixing. I'm using pro tools on my MacBook pro. The obvious standard for these seems to be the Sony mdr-v6. Can I get something better for around $100?- gibson5469

$25 or less.
I read some reviews on this topic but they were pretty inconclusive. Looking to get the best IEM's under $25 as a gift. Here's what I've narrowed it down to: Senn CX300 Senn CX400 JBUDS J2 JVC HA-FX66B \ JVC HA-FX34 - All under $20 JVC HA-FX33 / Sony MDR-EX75 (hopefully not too...- gibson5469

finally made the jump to a good IEM
I joined head-fi 9 months ago and have been so close to purchasing a new set of IEM's about a dozen or so times. First the im716's on that killer $20 closeout from newegg (then missed the deal), then the er6i's on sale for ~$50 on amazon. I almost purchased the Shure SCL4's from musicians...- gibson5469

With the er6i's being so cheap now, Im finally considering upgrading from my trusty ex-71's. I've had these for almost 5 years, I like them a lot but I think it's time to step up to something better. I've read too many threads about how the er6i's failed w/in about a year, is the cable...- gibson5469
