    What IEM sounds closest to the signature of the HD580/600?

    The IE8 is the only IEM that got me to sell my beloved HD600 (favorite full size headphone), but it may have been more out of convenience than anything else. They are somewhat close in sound, but don't assume that the IE8 is the HD600 in IEM form. Detail level is about the same, the HD600 has...

    Least Isolating IEM?

    IE8 for sure! I personally have yet to hear a less isolating IEM.

    To isolate or not to isolate? That is the question!

    So the usual intro, I own the IE8 and my best friend owns the SE530. While I definitely prefer the IE8 sound signature, if isolation is an issue, then I wholeheartedly recommend the SE530 over the IE8 ... I mean, you can't enjoy the IE8 sound signature if you can't hear it without breaking your...

    Oh, I didn't know about the 15% off from Earphone Solutions. I would definitely want the warranty for just $15 more. Haha yeah, I guess you could consider me a Philly person, though I'm really only a student in Philly.

    Help with Nearfield Monitors ... Ground Loop Isolator?

    Thank you Uncle Erik for the suggestion. Is there one in particular I should try to get?

    Wondering? For those who have a IE7 or IE8, is it worth it owning both?

    Yeah, definitely not as recessed as the TF10s. I think despite there being a bit of mid recession, it won't really bother you because the IE8 sound is so wide and airy that the mid recession seems like integrated or not that exaggerated/out of place (ok, that was a terrible explanation but the...

    IE8 AWESOME mod!!!!

    @photofan1986 I tried the tape on the IE8, you are right, it drastically changes the sound, definitely not worth it for the isolation.

    Help with Nearfield Monitors ... Ground Loop Isolator?

    @Armaegis, the radioshack ground loop isolator works like a charm, thank you so much. I owe you a beer! So the radio shack ground loop isolator solves the problem of the noise from the source ... so now I think the last piece of the puzzle is the power for the amplifier. Anetode's suggestion...

    Help with Nearfield Monitors ... Ground Loop Isolator?

    Thank you everyone for the advice. From trying different sources, cables, etc. it is a bit of both the source but more the ground loop (it seems like 20% source, 80% ground loop). If I can eliminate the ground loop, I think I will be a happy camper. In fact, I am heading to RadioShack now to...
