  Thanks EtyDave, I will definitely keep you updated. Currently at work so can't give an update until later this weekend.

Thanks for all your help, you guys are the best.

 
Sounds good.
 
There's no hurry.  I probably wouldn't be able to look at them until I get through the stack of other work in front of me first.

It's looking like we will start shipping next week.  We're getting production spooled up and locking things down.

 
Good news indeed!

So exciting!!! My wallet is ready!

I'm not one to fall for FOTM I know better than to get all crazy about something nobody has even tested.

It's not the vinyl. The format has nothing to do with it specifically. It's clipping. Excessive clipping is bad for speakers. If it was converted too "hot" that could cause some issue. But you would hear it clipping a lot, so I'm guessing it's not that..

And i bet etydave could tell us if the same is true with the er4s and clipping...

Any word on the trading in of the er-4 for the new ones?

Last I heard, it sounded like there would be, but I don't know if the amount was finalized.  There was also some question as to when it would start as I suspect we're going to have a hard time keeping up with demand in the early stages of production.

3.)  I would be incredibly surprised if your vinyl rips had anything to do with the issues you are seeing.  As gnarlsagan said (great name, btw), it would be more likely because the driver was overdriven, not the fact that the source of the audio originally was vinyl.

Yes, you should also verify the DC offset of your vinyl rips.

I would also look at the frequency spectrum of your vinyl rips. Vinyl has a bad habit of having a lot of subsonic noise, requiring the use of a rumble filter. You say your rips aren't normalized. I wonder if they may actually be normalized, but with subsonic noise dominating the levels, causing low audible output.

I've seen loudspeaker cones doing the most horrific in-out slow motion dancing without any low frequency sound to show for it--it was explained to me that it was playing vinyl without a rumble filter. If your vinyl rips are doing that with your etys it can't be any good...

I hope that thomann.de will get enough ety-supply to feed the whole European market haha

Good question.  I am not sure what the distribution path to Norway is.  I'm on the technical side of things, so I'm not always the first one to the party with sales and marketing info.  I'll see what I can dig up.

This is exciting! I can't wait to have a set of SR's for myself.

Oh, and btw, I realize that I promised comparison graphs.  I'll try to get those up this week.  I'm knee deep in writing documentation at the moment (not the most fun part of engineering)and will try to get to that soon.

Don't stress yourself too hard! You probably have actual work to do

Damn right he does. Busy pressuring management to set two pair aside for the Head Fi tour
