    THANK YOU Sir, For your clear (and blessedly dumbed down for even theh simplest of minds i.e. mine) explanation of this vexing Chestnut with my new KSE1200s... Talk about " the penny dropping". I have no doubt the good people at Shure Applications and Technical support will not miss my calls...

    Review: Sensaphonics Custom Sleeves in Crystal Blue for the Shure SE846

    The time to clean them in warm water AND rinse them in cold is around 60 to ninety seconds. An eternity if you are waiting for water to boil but it just flies by like its 45 seconds for this most onerous of tasks ;)   Remember to dry them off with paper towel and then leave them out to air dry...

    I own both. Though for the last year since owning the 8s, their lesser evolved ancestors have remained boxed. (Save for one mission of musical mercy for one in need)...   As I also imbibe music similar to yours I believe I can provide an fair objective comparison.   I am not particularly...

    The 8s and I are off to Palm Beach next week. Now one would think in a "Town" with a line of houses oft referred to as Billionaires Row. (Not to be confused with Bilionaires Road in London - The Bishops Avenue) there would be a place where one could find tasty toys tease my ears and tempt my...
