Thanks for the input. I've been trying to find some experiences with the HRT Music Streamer + Amp + Passives but haven't been able to find any. It seems most use it with the powered speakers. Are there DACs that are better for a passive setup or does it not matter? 

Hi everyone, I'm interested in getting a DAC but was wondering if it would even make sense for the setup I have. So I inherited (in a good way) a sound setup consisting of a tube amp (http://tubedepot.com/diy-k-8ls.html) and some KEF speakers...

Hey guys, I sent my E4C's in for repair and got a pair of SCL4's in return. I've never heard of the SCL4's and was wondering if there was a difference between the two? Thanks in advance.

Hi. I just got my Shure E4C's about a week ago, and I was looking through some images of other Shure E4C boxes, and noticed mine was different. At first, I thought it wasn't a big deal, but now I'm not sure because my box looks like this: While I thought the box should look this...

I'm just about to buy these, but does anyone know if there's gonna be a price cut anytime soon? (Next month or so)

Anyone know of any audiophile stores in the Bay Area? Preferably in the 408.

Just one more question, how well do they isolate on planes?

I'm just about to buy these and have one quick question. I read somewhere that when you're moving around, you feel the weight of the cord moving with you, and sometimes it's a problem. Can anyone verify this? Also, when I'm walking around, will I be completely obvlious to the world around me...

Are the E4C's better from an audiophile standpoint or just in general? Because I've been reading some rave reviews of them, but they seem to be a little out of my budget.

Hey all. I've pretty much decided to buy these, and had just one last question. Are the E3C's okay for running/exercise? Will they stay in and be comfortable (in your opinion) over a long period of time? Thanks

Hello all. My sister is going back to college, and is in need of some earphones. She is often working in the studio, and would like some noise canceling (passive) earphones, and would also like one that she can wear while she runs. So, do you guys have any reccomendations? (Preferably...

Hey everyone, I'm thinking about buying a new computer and a motherboard I'm interested in getting the Asus A8V has a sound card built in. Do you think that sound card would be good enough for my computer?

I just recieved my Grados today, and they're ****ing amazing. They're preety comfortable too IMO. I'd reccomend this for sure to anyone. Edit: Also, any tips on how to burn these in?

How do the SR60's sound with rap?

I keep reading stuff about not being isolated with the SR60's.... How bad is it?

Do they adjust to your head easily?

Quote: The SR60s come with Grado's new earpads. The new pads are a soft, porous, open cell foam that covers the driver much more comfy. The SR60s offer good sound quality, plus are easily driven by the output of a portable player or inexpensive home equipment a nice combination. got...

Thanks for your comments guys. Also, with the SR60's, will I be able to listen to it with my mp3 player? (iRiver IHP-120)

How comfortable are the SR-60's compared to the hd-497's?
