Great forum! As you can see, this is my very first post here.
I've decided to buy some Ety's, and I was all set to get the 4S and the Total Airhead amp, but it turns out that I have a little less to spend than I originally planned for. That leaves me with two choices: either wait a while longer until I can afford both the 4S and the amp (what good are the 4S's going to be without an amp, after all) or buy the 4P's right now. (I should add that I have desperately wanted a pair of Ety's for well over a year and am getting impatient!)
I want maximum versatility out of the Ety's, both home listening (when I can afford an amp) and portable use (something to take me away from the hell that is the 9 hour flight from Germany to the US). I do have a couple of decent Sharp portable MD units with acceptable headphone amps (better than Sony's, anyway). They'd at least be usable until I can afford an amp, giving me the benefit of enjoying Ety's now, rather than later.
Now I was looking through this forum and found many references to a 4P to 4S adapter, but I can find no concrete info on this item. No URL's, nada. And websearches aren't turning up anything.
So here's my question: can anyone here tell me anything about this adapter? Does it work? How expensive and any downsides to using it (over using 4S's)? And, most importantly, where the hell can I get one??!
Seems to me that (provided the adapter works with no problems), owning a pair of 4P's with the S-adapter plus an amp would be the best of all possible worlds.
Can anyone help me out here? Thanks!
