I have read about Ety making thumping noises if the cable hit things (ie bouncing on the listener's shirt while in transit). I hear that it is worse with the ER4s than with the ER4p. But recently I read something in headwize that suggested the ER4p was noisy enough to be left at home (you can hear your own foot steps).
I am going to get some eventually. I swear. I am just waffeling between the 4s and 4p with adapter cable. Knowing how much difference a cable can make in hi-fi, I am a little leery about how close to the 4p+ adapter is to the 4s.
My question is, what is the difference in the noise introduced due to bumping the cable when it comes to a comparison between the 4s and 4p, and how loud is it?
Is it a good idea to get the 4s for portable use without an amp/with amp at home? If so, what are the better amps for the etys? I heard that the MG head is not a good choice. As for portability, is the 4s just not as loud with out a dedicated amp? If it sounds is not to potencial, will it at least sound as good as Grado sr60s?
Ok, so there is more than one question, but please answer any that you can.
thanks
