out of touch for a while: Best IEMs for under £100 please
Hi. Sold my Shure SE530 and now I'm needing a cheaper replacement. I like Etys but their range has expanded since I owned the ER6i long ago. There are so many new brands around. I can get a good deal on some Logitech UE700 but I've heard stories about build/customer service. What about the...- tonym

Alessandro.
Hi. Any UK (or even EU) members have any experience buying directly from them? I'm aware I may be liable for customs charges. Just wanted to know if there's anything else I should be aware of. Cheers.- tonym

UE SuperFi 5vi or Etymotic HF5 or....?
Hi all. I've recently sold on my Shure SE 530 to free up some cash. I love them yet can't help feel the ipod and 320kbps combination isn't doing them justice. I need some sub £100 IEMs for library work and commuting. Also ones that are robust enough not to warrant kid-gloves everytime i take...- tonym

Klipsch X10: Worth the extra money?
HI. Due to limited availability of secondhand IEMs in the UK, I'm tempted to buy new. I had some Ety ER6i and although I was pleased with the sound quality, never really found them 'comfortable'...more 'bearable'. Is it worth the extra £ for the Klipsch in terms of SQ and comfort. I like...- tonym

How do I get my Grado smell back?
You know... that slightly medicinal whiff they arrive with. It's still lingering in the boxes but I'd like my pads to have it too! Not thinking of sellling them off as new but if I don't find out what to use it means buying new cans- tonym

Audio Technica wearing spectacled Head-Fi'ers...
Do you manage with the models ATH-EW9 and their metal counterparts? One of the reasons my iGrados went the journey is because I found the arms on my specs constantly rubbed against the equally hard material of the headphone's ear surround. Before I go ahead and order some can anyone enlighten...- tonym

Earmax Pro.
Hi all. I recently acquired a one year old Earmax Pro in excellent condition on eBay. The vendor has supplied the original tubes in addition to the Mullard input valve and matched pair of top quality Mullard E88CC gold pin output valves that the new owner had fitted. Wow. What a sound. Granted...- tonym

Right guys.....you have $2200.....
You need an amp, headphone amp and cd player. What do you go for? I'm open to suggestions and have in mind a Mapletree or Meier (for GS1000) for the headamp but what will suffice for the two other components? My wife will also have to look at it so bear that in mind. Cheers.- tonym

Simple question....
Hey-up! I need to know if a quality optical line-out from CD player to DAC then quality RCA interconnects to headphone amp would produce a better sound than just running the interconnects direct from CD to the amp? Sorry if this is a really dumb Q.- tonym
