    Upgrading from an Ibasso P3+

    I'm still using mine, awesome amp and very portable with the aaa batteries. Tried playing around with new chip sets?

    Does the RSA predator require burn-in?

    If you look on old Predator threads in the portable amp section, you will find the Predator benefits from 1000's of hours burn in to fully tighten up. Once done, it does sound very. very nice.

    Is it possible to determine if a Ety ER4 is a P or S model whithout listening to it?

    If you have a mini multimeter, take it along with you. The resistance in the 4P signal cable will be 27 ohms, and 100 in the 4S.

    Can-con 2 (Sydney 2012) Meet Aug 18th 3:30 to 8:30pm (near Epping station)

    Tralucent Audio was a nice addition. Their iems were superb, but for me, for what i use iems for, my er4's do the job admirably. Their little amp was outstanding though. I thought i had heard it all, from iBasso's very tweakable amp and amp/dac combos' to Xin's offerings- their little amp...

    Need help with choosing an amp for my ( Altec Lansing inMotion iM716 Earphones )

    Chop out the loudness pod, do the 47ohm mod and buy one of Ray's Tomahawks- the very combo that got me on the rocky road of portable head-fi. Get out while you can ;)

    Amp for Etymotic ER4P

    You don't need an amp with the ER4-P's. My rig these days consists of a Cowon i7 and ER-4P barrels with Westone ES cable and Ety P adaptors......   But, if you're truly after a 'jaw dropping' moment, try plugging them into a Xin supermicro iv- just incredible ;)   (Ian, i received your...

    budget audiophile flac portable player?..

    I second the call for the Cowon iAudio 7. 16 gb, really really good battery life, fantastic sound quality, handles all formats. This is my main rig now, paired with ety ER4p's it is a superb rig- you just have to learn to live with the user interface (if only it was like the Sony S63* series).
