    UE triple.fi 10 repair help

    My old Ultimate Ears triple.fi 10s have developed the rather common issue where the shell just breaks apart cleanly. I need to repair them asap for a trip, and I know many people have successfully glued theirs back together with epoxy resin, but I'm unsure exactly where I should apply it. Just...

    Replacement nubs for Grado antennas

    Has anyone got suggestions for replacing the little black plastic nubs on the end of the RS-1 antennas? It seems they come off relatively easily, and the headphones look a bit odd without them. Is it possible to get replacements from Grado? I've e-mailed them, but no reply yet.

    What do I need for a sand blasting setup?

    Part of my job involves annealing metal samples which then have to have scale build-up removed. The easiest way is using a sand blaster, but the university's shop hours aren't flexible enough for regular use. I've been tasked with finding a permanent cabinet sand blasting setup we can keep in...

    ER4P colour

    Do these only come in black nowadays, or can you still get the red/green combo? They're black on Ety's site, and almost everywhere seems to sell the black ones now. Personally, I think they look terrible (about as bad as the black UM2s!). I'd love to get a new pair of the original colours.

    UM2 Tips

    I am having a lot of trouble finding tips that really work well for me on my UM2s. My ear canals must be a bit weird, because the standard choices just aren't much good. Here's what I have tried: Unmodded triflanges - Sound great and provide great isolation, but I cannot keep them in my right...

    CIAudio VDA-1 + VAC-1 vs. ?

    I'm in the market for a proper (i.e. non-iPod) source, and I was hoping you guys could help me out. My current home rig consists of a Dynahi, Millett, and RS-1s (with said iPod as source). The Channel Islands Audio VDA-1 has been suggested by a couple of people as being good value on the used...

    Fallout 3

    http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pro...25&catid=11126 Accidental leak, employee messing around, or what? It's obviously been up for a while, since there is a "review" from June. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else (and Fallout fans live for Fallout 3 rumours). November next year...

    Dynahi Transformer

    What type of transformer does the Veda Audio Dynahi SA use? I know it is toroidal, and their old site just said "150VA High Quality Toroidal Transformer" with no other specifications. It is about 10cm in diameter by 4cm in height, and has no manufacturer's label or anything like that (that I can...

    Help me choose a suitable upgrade to a millett

    I had been giving some thought to replacing my decently speced Millett with an M3, but after discussion "elsewhere" came to the conclusion that it would not be much of an upgrade (if any) for my system. The Millett builder describes it as ""tread (27v), vishay dale 1/4w resistors, wima film...

    Pocket Amp V2 Question

    I received my PA2 on Monday, but my ram din only just showed up, so I hadn't tried it out with the iPod line-out yet. I got it all set up with my er6is, and the audio quality is definitely improved. However, as I turn up the volume from the lowest setting, the balance seems to shift from ear to...

    iPod + er6i

    I recently purchased a new 20GB iPod Color, and needless to say, the included headphones don't sound too good (plus they're quite uncomfortable in my ears). After looking around for some new earbuds, I decided the best ones for me (price vs. performance) would probably be a set of Ety er6is (I...
