When I bought this amp it was going to be for my desk, headphone use first and speaker use second. After reading what a great speaker amp it is I bought a pair of Boston Acoustics CR57. I found them to be completely lacking bass and lifeless with no soundstage. Discouraged, I asked, in this...

Great! Thanks, I was about to order some myself. Do they seal as well as before? Are they still as comfy?

For me the ER-6i is one of the best deals on the planet. Real audiophile grade phones. The Xin Supermini III has been redisigned and is now the Supermini IV. I hear that it sounds lightyears better than an already superb Supermini III. I'll be getting one soon. Congrats on your purchase. Etys rule!!

The ER-6i was designed for the iPod crowd, which is ...well, everybody. So it makes good sense for Etymotic to design an IEM for the iPod. The ER-6i departs from neutral in that the bass is boosted as compared to the neutral ER-6. Also, it is a lower impedence phone as compared to the ER-6, so...

Does anybody know if the Ety ER4P-24 P/S converter cable require a burn in period?

Thanks, Rocktboy. This place is so awesome.

Can anyone recommend good pair of bookshelf speakers for this amp? I have a pair of Boston CR57 and the bottom is totaly missing. I could get a powered sub but I want to keep this particular setup simple and elegent. Thx.

I'm not aware that Dared makes an iPod cradle/stand. You may be confusing it with the Fatman iTube. It a Dared lookalike, with a matching dock. At any rate the Fatman is not a cradle, it's actually a dock. Check this out. http://www.fat-man.co.uk/docs/product/itube_1.htm

I see you have the cotton. Don't bother with the silk as it's pretty much the cotton, with the cotton being slightly better, unless you need a thinner cable. Get the cyro if you need your tunes on the front line of a battlefield. I tell you, western civilization could fall, the world can end...

Yea, that 24 inch Cotton RCA Dock is just so very transparent, like the portable Cotton Dock. Each type, be it the Cotton, Silk, or Cyro, has their own slightly different sound sig for sure. But it's evident to me that those individual sound sigs will remain consistent throughout each product...

I have both, plus a Cotton Dock. I guess you can say that I like these products. I first purchased the Silk, but later on I realized that I needed something a little more durable. Not to say that the silk or cotton is not durable, but I needed something that would not break during a lifestyle...

I've had a Cyro Dock for close to a month. I can say that it's a very transparent and neutral cable. It seems to combine all the highs of a good silver and the lows of a good copper with correct and detailed mids. Everything just comes through balanced and effortlessy. Lots of detail. No veil...
