  Hey guy,
 
My ER4 wires becoming undone where the twisted pairs meet. Any recommendations on how to "glue" them back together and keep them from untwisting?

If it is not affecting the sound or comfort, ignore it. You won't see it when they are in your ears, so chill and enjoy...

It doesn't affect my listening experience but I want to prevent it from untwisting and possibly getting tangled and torn apart.

Seems like a few of you have problem with your ER4 cable. I wonder - will there be any interest if I offer my service for free to build you guys the same cable I have (http://www.head-fi.org/t/538615/if-you-still-love-etymotic-er4-this-is-the-thread-for-you/6885#post_12242398)? You will only be paying for cost of parts and shipping of course, but parts cost will be less than US$40 for sure, including the adapter, cable guide and SPC cable from Lunashops, plus a pair of SMD resistors. Shouldn't be a problem of you want either P, S or B version. Just one thing - While my measurement does indicate they should be identical sounding to the original cable, I don't claim you will hear the same thing.

If you are interested, PM me. If there is enough interest, i'll start a for sale thread and we can go from there.

That reads as though the chin guide is silver plated too
 
Bring on  the Bling!

I can paint it silver if that's your fancy

 
 
EDIT: All slots filled. If there is any more interest, we can go for a 2nd batch after mid Feb. once Lunashops is reopened.

p/s: one last slot, boys and girls.

I'm waiting for the nickel chromium cobalt designer earhooks

It's much neater with the resistors in the adapter (Awwan) anyway. I've currently got the stock Lear cable attached to my Etys and the stock Noble cable attached to my Lears. I would thoroughly recommend Linum Bax which I have attached to the K10UAs, which I think should be within your price range once you add shipping and taxes. It is completely noise free and very light and comfortable in use. Night and Day to the original cable.

 
I received my adapters from Awwan today. My Linum Bax cable arrived last Friday. My Ety cables came off very easily, maybe because I had them rebuilt by Etymotic 16 months ago. I am very impressed by the new cable and connectors. My ER4P's sound great. I am very disappointed that I've gone through two stock cables in six years but now that I can change them easily, I'll probably won't need to.
 
Thanks to all that helped and provided guidance.

That's great news

Has anyone had the pleasure of listening to the Oppo HA-2 with the ER4S?

All the time, and they go quite well together.

Okay, great. I'd heard that the Sabre flare was still present on the HA2, and I'd imagined that would be even more of a problem with a revealing headphone.

I didn't notice any Sabre glare with HA-2, if anything it was slightly too smooth for me. Now, Tralucent DacAmp One, that has Sabre glare. I've heard that dac/amp become quite aggressive with bright/vibrant IEM. Like putting an IEM on steroids, once described by myself as 20,000 times extra resolution...

I still feel the best I ever heard my ER4S was with the JDS Labs C421 portable amp, it didn't get much better than that for me. Not Cayin N6, Pono Player, the Tralucent DacAmp, any of the iBasso units. Probably the closest I got was Colorfly C4 but it lacked the big balls to push ER4S like that little JDS amp ever did.

I am listening to my ER4S with JDS C421-AD8620 right now, fed by FiiO X7's line-out.
 
They completed each other.
