Which of the following series of Sony N.U.D.E/Fontopia EX IEM's would you want as "desert island" IEM's? I would dig your comments and posts right here. Right now I am currently listening to John Klemmer doing "Poem Painter"
(originally from Barefoot Ballet) on a compilation I made of his work from 1975-1979.

The source I am using right now is my trusty NW-HD5 (one of three I own, the other two being bought as N.O.S. U.S.-market units while the one I am using now being a U.K. version with the infamous volume cap unlocked)

The EQ setting is "Custom 3", which I have set to emphasize both the bass and trebles while still having some mids in there.

I am currently listening to it using my MDR-EX700SL's hooked to an inline RM-MC40ELK remote.

it's a little hard to judge, since each model within a series can also have different performance and sound signatures.
To me, I think ex700 is not worth the MSRP.

 

[rawrster]

have many people heard all of them? i only have experience with the ex71 and that was when i thought they were the best earphones ever

I would nominate Sony MDR-E484 from the early 1990's.

 

[MiG(TM)]

Modded EX-90.

 

[ucrags84]

The legendary Sony MDR-E888s. They were part of the ' nude' lineup

MDR-E484. The ceramic earphones.

 

[jant71]

E484 of course.

 

[purk]

For earbuds, I don't think anyting will measure up to the E484. I still got two of them.

Me too.

I notice a bit more isolation and bass (cling-wrap mod) in my current EX90SLs, it's a good thing I bought two more, to go along with the current ones I am using while listening to the late great Roger Troutman doing his version of Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" on a custom compilation of both him and his old group Zapp covering Zapp through Zapp V. (1980-85)

As for the other legend in this thread, the E888 SP/LP N.U.D.E Series earphones (I use the SP's), I own three pairs of them too, but none of them have been put into use, as I prefer IEM's over buds, but with the scarecity of both, I stocked up over a year ago, influenced and inspired by most of you on this very board (thanks for draining my wallet every year!)

Помогите найти простой движок для фотогалереи без базы данных
чтоб можнонужно было просто залить файлы в папку по ФТП
и они автоматически добавились в фотогалерею, желательно с простой админкой
разрешающей массово редактировать фотографии, прописать к ним описание
и управлять коментариями, возможно так-же и функция оценки файлов.
В итоге хочется получить такое как на фотогалерееÂñå ôîòîãðàôèè - Ôîòîãàëåðåÿ îõîòíèêîâ
Однако там нет админки.

Yep, I have at least four E888s. I have one SP, and MP and two of the LP versions. About 10 years back, I had a chance to buy a new E484 (gold), instead, I purchased the E888 at higher price as I thought newer must be better. I still regret that decision until this day.

I've only heard the EX71 and the EX90, and although both were quite good, the EX90 was better. Oddly misshapen IMO, but better.
