They arrived at Etymotic this Tuesday (June 10th). Six business days later, and I haven't heard a thing fromthem. The CSR told me that the engineers will generally call you before they do any modifcations, is that correct? If you guys have been through the RMA process, what usually happens...

Even though i have sold my headphone amps, i still loved listening with the Etymotics (hell, who wouldn't). Anyways, it wasn't until recently that my friend borrowed my ER4S that he somehow messed up one of the drivers. It's a friend that i trust, but i'm guessing somehow he turned it up too...

Oh how i love these headphones so! On one hand, i have the Etymotics. They've brought me hours upon hours of personal listening time. And when i say personal, i mean not having to listen to music AND whatever noise my family/friends/computers are making. And my Grados--the very first entry into...

Haha, just had to plug that in. I was suprised he wasn't wearing the v7's.

You guys know how open these cans are, and that little bugger won't shut up! Dammnniitt! Shut up already!! Didn't pay over $$$ bucks for someone to bug me while i'm auditioning this awesome amp!

I just received a mini-rca cable from Jeff, so that i could hook up my ns500v to my cha47 temporarily, so naturally i threw in my favorite cds to listen to. Right now i have Korn's Follow the Leader cd, and something is VERY odd. I guess i didn't notice it before on my pana ct570, but the stereo...

After reading for countless hours before buying my sr325s, i have just realized, a whole friggen year after buying them, that they ARE bright. I was listening to Korn with my Etys, when i decided that i feel more like an open can, so i threw on my Grados. Soon enough, i started to hear what i...

I think i've narrowed down my choices. From those three, the Pioneer is the cheapest, the NAD's middleground, and the 500v is the most expensive. They're all cheap though, relatively speaking, as you guys spend 600+ on cd players anyways So which would you recommend? Maybe if i saved cash on...

My current source/amp is the Pana ct570 and a CHA47 amp. I'm running my 4s' and sr325s through it right now, but i have about 200-ish to upgrade. Should i go for the source or the amp? I know that i will eventually need both a new source and amp, since the setup i have was meant for portability...

In order to fully charge the battery, it should only need to be charged 8-10 hours, right? And do you guys have any ideas as to empty the battery, so i could condition it once in a while?

I was thinking of upgrading my source, as my current one is the Panasonic ct570. I just recently bought Etys, and i'm not sure if this source is doing it justice. Would i notice a noticable improvement if i went from this cd player to something like a Denon 370 or something better like a NAD...

...it does remind me of miniature sr325s, but in a different manner. Instead of the sound resonating from the aluminum chambers, the Etys have the bass pounding right INSIDE your ear canal. I never thought it would have been possible, but i pulled up this one track by DJ Tiesto (sorry, i forget...

Ok, i just received my Ety ER4s, and they're wonderful, BUT there's something that's been bugging me. I know that they are 100 Ohms, compared to the 32 Ohms of my sr325's. This means that i should have to turn up the volume a bit more on my amp, right? My normal setup would be something like...

I'm having trouble here with my desk and how my headphones should be set up. I have my ct570, which is of course, very small, and is not problematic. I also have the cha47 in a small pactec, no problem there. What IS the problem is my Grado headphones, or more specifically, the cord! How do you...

As of now, my portable rig consists of: Pana ct570 --> JMT CHA-47 --> Mx500 The only problem is i'm not liking the sound. Compared to my sr325, the mx500 is unbearably muddy, and details are not as sharp, not nearly as articulate. I know there's about a 270 dollar price difference and the...

Alrighty guys, can you PLEASE explain a statement i hear often on these forums: "There's a rolloff in the bass/treble in the XX frequency" I see it pretty often, so here are my questions: 1) What is your definition of "rolloff?" 2) How can you discern between certain frequencies? I...

I've received a Canadian ct570, and with it came earbuds (instead of the headphones that come with the US versions). I was astonished at the sound of these things, compared to my mx500s. Now i haven't had my mx500s for very long. They've only been used for about 12 hours max. But compared to...

Well, i decided to buy this used ct570. It was quoted as "almost new," so i thought it might not be too bad. So i caved in, and here it is. Upon first examination, i noticed that it's missing the external battery pack. Being a PORTABLE cd player, i wanted that bloody external battery pack...

I decided to plug em in, just to give em a try. The KSC-50s sound pretty good, compared to the mx500s. I'm not sure which is better though, as i haven't received my intended source yet, and testing has only lasted for about 5 mins. But, the ever-present bass is always a plus, as is the lack of...

How do they compare, in terms of sound quality, as i'm thinking about whether to sell the amp, thanks!

I'm having trouble deciding whether or not i should sell my Grados and Creek amp. They've served me VERY well, as they were my first "audiophile" type of purchase. I absolutely love their sound, but i find myself listening to music through my speakers more often nowadays, as my sister isn't home...

In comparison to the older pcdps like the D-25, which have no 1-bit DAC (or at least this is what i thought ) , what is the difference anyways? Does it really even matter?

I have the bowl shaped pads, and these are hurting like hell!! i used to have the radio shack comfy ones on my grado sr60, and those were very comfortable. what type of sound difference will i get if i change from the bowl pads to the RS comfy ones? too bad i dont have those comfies to test fit...

I just got mine, and this thing sounds like my Grado sr60. actually, the bass might actually be a little softer. these types of things will go away with proper burn in right?

How is the quality of the STraightwire rca->mini ICS at headroom? Are they more towards the radio shack wires, or closer to the more expensive ICs?
