Thanks. I’ve been lurking here on this thread for the past winter deciding on whether I wanted them or not. Actually, I was deciding between the 3se or the 4sr. I didn’t want to spend $400 Cdn on the 4sr and for no real reason the 3se didn’t appeal to me and as I read up about the 2se, it...

My Ety ER2SE arrived today and tried it out for a half hour. Initial impressions are mostly positive, the sound is more or less what I was hoping for, something relaxing and accurate. I wasn’t sure what to expect for a soundstage but it’s fine. I think I’ll need to fidget with tips and the fit...

I ordered the ER2SE from Amazon and should be here on June 2. Will give my impressions shortly after.

Is the Etymotic ER2SE worth the extra money over the Etymotic ERMK-5 MK5 for casual listening? The 2SE is twice the money and I guess I’m worried if I go for the MK-5 I will regret cheaping out. I’m not going to use them for critical listening, more for 2-3 times a week listening for 45...

If you can find an earlier release of the software (pre4.3x), erase, reformat your hd and reinstall the earlier version of the software on your devices. The problem seems to be software related and that is probably the only solution for an average user.

If you get a "dac" you'll definitely need an amp between the dac and your headphones, if only for volume control. Without an amp after the dac, I'm not sure whether you'll blow your Grado's or your hearing first but something will give.

I'm hoping it has a volume and a balance control instead of a right and left channel volume controls.

I bought one of those probably 15 years ago. I was neither impressed with it nor really unhappy with it. I only used it for a year or two and then sold the tuner/preamp I was using it with and went to an integrated amp. It's okay and it worked fine and it's better than having a wire hanging out...

I'm mostly interested in the hockey. There are a few other sports I'll watch just because they are on.

All of the events that I am close-minded about are sports that require specialized facilities that are a burden for the citizens of the city and the country hosting the events that will have to pay for years after the Olympics are over. If the IOC took on the financial risk of the Olympics it...

I care but the whole thing has to be scaled down from the number of events to the size of the venues ( at least half of the events should be cut). It's way too much of a financial burden for the host city and country. If a city like Vancouver is struggling to make a go of it then it is time to...

How about ALOHA - ALO Headphone Amp.

Enjoy, that is a really good price for what was a top of the line TV in it's day.

ALO Audio has the Amphora SS amp for $995. Skylab and Headphone Addict have done reviews on it and both seemed to like it.
