A Thinkpad running an Echo Audio Indigo DJ, using the ALSA driver. Eventually I'll get something like a Palm Pre or an Android phone that will be used less critically, but surely won't be as high quality. Thanks for the input. Right now, I think my shortlist is: Audio Technica CK10 Audio...

Hey Dura, So the Senn IE8 are dynamic drivers? I was really close to getting Future Sonics Atrios, but I decided on the SA6, instead. I really like the idea of single wide range drivers, since crossovers are never going to be as smooth as that single driver utopia. The thing is, I was just...

You mean the ety triple flange? I have small-medium canals, so I don't think I'd have much luck with triple flanges. Are they very soft? Similarly, I've heard some people have had trouble with fit on the W3, just because the casing itself is so huge (shigzeo, you had this trouble, didn't...

Alright, $220 for the CK10 on ebay, that looks like the front runner for now, but maybe the CK100 for $475 if a better job comes along soon. I think I'll have to do some more hunting for impressions.

I've always heard good things about Audio Technica's cans, but I'm not sure I even knew they made IEMs. I guess I knew, it just really didn't register with me. Any chance of me finding a better price than at audiocubes.com? They're $350/$650 for the CK10/CK100, and you're right, that's a lot...

Some of my treble filters are getting kind of loose, and my medium tips almost always come off in my ear so I'm stuck using some old Shure or UE tips that aren't nearly as comfortable, and don't sound as good. I could just by some more treble filters and tips, but, I don't know, I think I want...

What a day. I pulled the trigger on the SA6 and the Echo Audio Indigo PCMCIA DAC/AMP, and my laptop ships 2 weeks early. It should be an exciting weekend with the laptop, and the SA6 will probably come Monday. It's just too much all at once Don't worry, I'll survive.

That's good to hear, I'm really attracted to the detachable cables of the SA6. I think I'll probably go that route unless someone else speaks out.

*bump* Sorry, I know I ramble too much but... anyone?

It's time for another IEM. I'm fairly familiar with the market, but don't have much listening under my belt. So despite knowing my wallet is going to regret it, I thought 'why not ask head-fi?' Yeah, I'm a freaking genius, I know So, I've owned a pair of S.fi5 Pro, paired with a Cowon X5...
