Anyone have this combo? SR71 + Ety ER4P/S? If so does the bass increase enough to justify the purchase... or would something like a supermono with the bass boost switch be better?

You might want to pm vranswer. He used etys with the SR-71 and, while he loved the amp, he decided to sell it and replace it with the Supermono. If I recall, one of the reasons he did so was to take advantage of the bass boost option on the Supermono.

The SR-71 increased the bass of my Shure E3c, but it is no bass boost. You need to look somewhere else if you need to really accentuate the bass.

I own both Ety 4S and the SR-71. Yes it does add bass, but so does my portable Pimeta. The bass becomes a bit more defined with a little more definition and punch. It sounds perfect to me. However, the amp is not going to transform your Etys into headphones that give you huge bass, or have the effect of a bass boost. Also, the SR-71 will show it stuff more with a better source. It sounds good from my computer sound card, but through my portable DAC, it sounds amazing!! If you want an injection of major bass, the supermono with bass boost might be the best choice for your setup.

After emailing back and forth with Xin I'll probably go supermono, the SR71 looks to have a nicer build quality (at least on the outside), but for features I think the supermono has it beat.

I have only heard a Beta (so take this with a grain of salt), but the version I have of the SuperMono with Bass Boost makes it sound closest to the SR71. But I wouldn't say it surpassed it in the lower end. Course there are different SM versions (including an additional stacked buffer) and it's been tweaked since I received mine.

Both sound very nice with the Etys.
