I have a pristine early 2000 ER4s coming in a a few weeks. Any differences to current versions?

luisdent,
This is a non-sequitor and one I don't understand!
How does having an ear infection relate to getting a good seal on the Ety's?
And what does doing the finger test do for you when you have an ear infection? Are you trying to see if you've lost some of your hearing? Or does doing this somehow help you heal? or what?

One of the best stock cables i have come across is the V-Sonic GR-07BE cable. It's durable, resistant to tangles, soft, and no microphonics. If Etymotic could take a look at this cable and implement their own version that would be awesome.
I really liked the gr07 mkII cable when I had it. It was very soft but felt durable. I like the pfe112 cable about the same, although the gr07 cable seemed more durable and had a right angle jack I liked. I haven't had any issues with the pfe112 and love the cable, but I feel it wouldn't last as much abuse as the er4s or gr07. Luckily the er4s is pretty easy to recable with adapters. Perhaps you can get a broken gr07 somewhere and combine the two?
From my own experience, I love ER4
Me too
A quick thank-you to the ER-4 thread dwellers for the great tips. I recently decided to replace my beloved AKG 702s (w/ upgraded 65th anni. pads) because my listening room had too much ambient noise to fully enjoy them. I'd enjoyed my HF-3s w/ my iPhone, so got a pair of ER-4Ps. Very nice. Already knew I needed to go with Comply tips, but here I learned to route the wires over my ears to kill the microphonics, get the $13 P>S adapter for my Benchmark Dac1-USB, and just tonight, add the red filters. WOW. I'm blessed with still above average hearing as I turn 54, but I'm hearing new details in recordings I've heard 100 times. That's very groovy, as we used to say!
I made a custom cord lock and right ear identifier. I'm on my ipod, but you should be able to see it in my last blog post. Handtokey.blogspot.com
