    Just bought first "real" headphones

    After much researching, deliberation, more researching, more deliberation, not thinking about it at all for about a week to allow myself to get some perspective, then a little bit more research and deliberation I finally purchased my first real headphone: Etymotic ER-6. The decision to...

    Who's Going to Boston(World Tour)?

    dang! i couldn't make it! oh well, i've pretty much decided that Etymotic ER-4P are the headphones for me. i figure there are only two ways that i could end up not liking them: 1) sound quality falls -way- below my expectations, but i'm not really worried about that happening at all 2) I can't...

    Advice wanted on upgrading laptop sound

    MirandaX: That evalution board is becoming very intriguing. I posted at AudioAsylum to see if anyone there has heard it. I'm thinking that to start with I'll get the stereo-link 1200 and Etymotic ER-4P headphones. Then once I've had that for a while I'll either get a nice headphone amp to...
