Hey guys, stupid situation really...probably an easy fix for it...but uhhhhh, I don't want to use these Olive tips on the shure 530s... but I'm having the damndest time removing them. I tried pulling, but they won't budge. pardon the pun, but any tips on removing them??

Hey dudes, Couple of really quick questions: I just bought a pair of ER4-P IEMs and I was wondering what you fine cats and dogs would think is a decent portable amp to power these puppies. I realize how badly I'll be needing an amp after I plugged them into my ipod 2nd question...

I've got the dough---but I don't know what to get anybody up for givin me some suggestions? <my budget can only go as far as e500pth or comparable...but if there's cheaper and comparable to that, please, let me know >

Well, I didn't want to see it go out in such a violent manner, but, alas, it's gone. Apparently, my dog thought they were candy or something. I was shocked, then angry, and I just checked em in the trash 5 minutes ago. Now I have nothing. Damn, you, stupid dog, damn you to heck. sigh...

So they fit very nicely, but, on the trains, outside, wherever that isn't my quiet room, i lose quality...soooo...can i just counteract this by putting ear foams behind the earphones to block out as much noise as possible? I don't have any foams to try this out with right now, so I thought...

In your opinion, what is the best mp3 player out there right now that could pump good signal quality to a pair of HD 650s? I've got about 500 dollars to burn. Thanks
