1976: Stax SRX Mk III (gave away)
1992: Stax Lambda Pros (retired)
2003: Stax SR-003 (in use; portable hotel and mountain top reference)
2003: Etymotic ER-6 (in use; loaned to friend, or is it fiend??)
2004: Stax SR-404 (in use; strictly for home use)
2005: Etymotic ER-6i (lost, I think the dry cleaner got them, damm good IEM)
2005: Etymotic ER-4p (in use; plane, train and bus reference)

Even though the Stax are audio nirvana, Nirvana doesn't sound that good on them, but then again I do not care much for Nirvana.
