Has anyone tried both the 51 and 71? I'm using a pair of EX51s right now, and they do sound nicer in the mids than my EX70s. I'm wondering if splurging for the 71s (whos difference only seems to be the flexible rubber construction over the stiff plastic 51s) is worth it. I'm working in Japan...

Hi all, Can anyone recommend a good speaker parts store online? One of the speakers blew on my Altec Lansing ADA105 speaker system, so I need a new 3" 20W 4 Ohm speaker in a square config to replace it. I've looked a little online, and all I can find are places that sell 3" 20W 8 Ohm...

I'm using a OPA2132PA dual op-amp. I ordered it from Digi-key using the part number on Tangent's site, so I'm pretty sure it's correct, but I'll check on that when I go home. Could there be any other possibilities?

Hi all, Using tangent's instructions and awesome diagrams, I've been getting my hands dirty building my first amp. I've built the power supply and the actual amplification portion. However, when I test the amp (using my iPod with a passthrough linked to clips, which are linked into the amp...

For those that use the iSkin, how much does it add to the form factor of the iPod? Also, has anyone compare the iSkin and the Groove jacket? Which was better? -Chris

Hi, Yeah, I figured. However, I stopped using the remote a while back, so maybe that's why the problem's showing up now. Chris

Hi all, I've had a Sony MZ-R90 poratable MD player for the last 2 years almost, and have been really happy with it. However, a few months ago, the unit started exhibiting weird behavior. Sometimes the buttons would mysteriously get mapped to other functions for a while (ie - pushing the jog...

Hi, I've been using a pair of ER4Ps for the last 6 months or so, and I've noticed that it occasionally will pop/crackle for a brief second, then go back to normal. At first I thought it was my amp or source, but I've tried my etys with a number of different sources, and different amps, and I...

Hi all, I'm thinking of getting into the component thing starting this summer, and I was looking at Marantz for my choice of receiver. The thing is, I can't seem to find that many places that carry the Marantz line. I did find a few on www.hifi.com which looked nice, especially the new 4200...

I also have the HD600 and Ety 4P/S (w/ adapter), and I wouldn't give up either. Having both is really great because sometimes you can tire of the circumaural sound and fit of the Sennheisers, which then makes the 4P/S perfect in those cases, and vice versa. I do admit, though, that I'm using my...

One thing I've found that works well is to insert very slowly. When i first got the ER6 I was pushing them in kinda fast, and it causes a pressure buildup. Pushing them in slowly seems to equalize the pressure more. That brings up a question: When you guys have a tight seal with the etys, do you...

Hi all. I just got the ER6 a few days ago, and personally, I think the isolation and sound are quite good (once you learn the trick of getting a good seal) I haven't tried the ER4 models, so I wanted to hear from people that have both and have used both. Is the difference that significant? I was...
