Those who waiting Xin amp, post and get your date of arrival !
I have a super macro III, and I want to send it in for upgrades, but I don't know how long I will be without it if I do. I would also like to get a reference amp and/or super micro IV, but I don't want to wait, so I haven't ordered them. When I got my III, I waited about 10 days between...- robk

good earphones for sleeping?
despite what all the naysayers are saying about not doing it, I sleep with Sony MDR-EX71SL. They are comfy, cheap and the alarm wakes me up. No infections in the months that I have been doing this. They are not the best sounding headphones I own, but the are the cheapest, so I don't actually...- robk

Ultra Super Tiny Mini Meet (Only 2 Head-Fiers)
Vorlon, I notice you have some ety ER-4P/Ss. I have these as well, and a Xin Macro III. I find that bass boost to be seesential for my Etys, and as such, was considering a super-mini IV as an even more portable amp than my macro III. After reading this thread, I am now wondering what you...- robk

IEM for sleeping needed
I decided on the Sony ex71s based on the other sleep thread I found here. I already have a decent pair of IEMs in my Etys ER-4Ps, so I am not looking to spend that much. I also plan on some new custom IEMs next year (UE, sensa, westone perhaps, we'll see what's available) as I get my PhD this...- robk

IEM for sleeping needed
I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for an IEM for using while sleeping. I would like to try some brainwave entrainment audio, as I have sleep problems, and they require headphones for proper usage. However, I sleep on my side, so I need an earphone that will 'disappear.' I have the...- robk

Pictures of your Portable Rig II - The Journey Continues.
Well, here is my portable rig. Still looking for the right case, and currently just use a blue rubber band to hold the 2 pieces together. The amp has 2 smal;l strips of mylar with adhesive backing stuck to it to keep it from scrathing the ipod.- robk

Gilmore Lite and/or SuperMacro for Etys?
If you are going to get a SM, get the ety 4Ps and the 4 feature switches, More flexibility. I can't compare the 2 amps, but I can say the Ety 4Ps are DRAMATICALLY improved with the SM3 with the 4 feature switches. This pair was really made for each other in my opinion. rob- robk

grado discomfort
The key to making the grados wearable is getting the perfect bend to the head band and breaking in the foam through use. They will get there. I am so tactily ensative that I used exclusively my MDR-F1s for a long time becausse no other headphone was comfortable enough to replace them...- robk

What normal person uses these headphones?
I had my grados and ety 4Ps lopng before I discovered head-fi. Thanks to head fi, I now have a Xin Super Macro 3 as well. Prior to finding head-fi I had no idea I could get such a high quality portable amp, and I listen to music almost exclusively portably these days. I did find head-fi while...- robk

A good case for an ipod with SM3 and pocket dock
Yup, those are nice cases, but they seem a little big. I am really trying to get the smallest case possible, still capable of housing the ipod, pocket dock and SM. I would get the headroom gigaback in a heartbeat if it were just an inch and a half longer. That is what I am really trying to find...- robk
