Bela Fleck and the Flecktones - Sinister Minister If you can hear the gauge of the string against the fingers, you win.

The best I can describe the ety's bass is auditory versus physical. With a set of speakers or large phones, there is a physical sensation associated with bass; a shaking, rumbling, vibrating business. The etys allow you to HEAR bass for once, which I am personally revelling in after just a few...

I haven't been in public yet for fear of getting hit by a car or not hearing someone call my name, not becuase of the looks. It looks fine; the crazy stuff people wear on their heads in order to listen to music around college campuses doesn't even begin to compare to the etys. By the way, let...

Quote: Originally posted by Daffy_Duck With a dedicated amp I assume? How does the sound compare with unamped sound? Not being amped, actually. The two sources I'm dealing with are my ipod and my laptop, complete with craptastic ibm stock soundcard. I'm going to pick up a fire6 or...

I got mine an hour ago. I never knew music sounded so good. I'm about ready to cry. e: using the s converter

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr this is pretty freakish. Thanks, I guess

Since we're asking the tough questions: How many of you still buy cds rather than downloading at --aps-z extreme? Personally, I haven't bought a cd in over three years. I realize it's copyright infringement left and right, but I would have ZERO dollars to spend on hardware if I had to legally...

e: sup pg 3 I'd think that in order to be such huge hardware fans like we all, you need to have an massive addiction ot music. For me, about 4:1 music/hardware. Metric tons of --aps-z extreme albums and a small pile of hardware.

I'm sure one exists somewhere, but a head-fi channel woud be very .

Update on my slight todd knock above: Everything is fine, my etys are on the way

Quote: Originally posted by BANGPOD I used credit card. I received payment verification the same day. The Etymotics and adapter arrived 2-3 days later. Choose the 2-3 day shipping, not the 1-5 day one. TTVJ is usually very prompt with his responses... Maybe he is dealing with the...

BANDPOD (and others who ordered from ttvj): How long did it take you to receive the phones? To get a confirmation email? I sent payment two days ago, got an email that my shipping address hadn't gone through, responded, and have heard nothing. I was thinking I'll wait a week and if I don't...

Quote: Originally posted by Steve754 sorry about that Ok, now I got it narrowed down. I'm either going to get the e2c's or the er4p's But there is no one who has heard the e1c's? This was my situation a few days ago. Then I realized that if I'm going to drop more than 30...

Piggyback question (not hijack): Does one need to burn in ety's and other canalphones, or is burn-in limited to fullsized cans?

^^^Thanks for reconfirming my purchase. this thread is fyad leaking, if anyones got stairs.

Just ordered too e: from ttvj with the s cable. it is a good day

Quick tangent question: Does a set of pc speakers with a headphone jack amp my phones at all? I'd buy the conversion cable if so.

Quote: Originally posted by rt297 I think I would get the ER4S's over the P's for jazz, or at least get the conversion cord too. Does the conversion cord provide identical sound from the P's as compared to the S's, or is there a quality loss with the extra cable?

Could someone describe the tangible differences between the E2 and the E1? The latter is about 50 dollars more; what is the difference in actual sound? The fact that the E1's are (even) lighter than the E2's is appealing to me. Note that this is, as with many others, for use with an ipod.
