The er4s' came in, listened to a few tracks. I like! Tonally the first thing to come to mind was hd800, which I find to be somewhat lean but I didn't think the er4s as being bright on first listen. I did get a nice seal and the bass albeit somewhat lighter than my shure se535 was quick tight and punchy. Treble is fantastic, very smooth, no etch. The level of detail was pretty impressive, again great retrieval and didn't sound bright to me. Driving with a pico power, these things like their juice! Medium gain with iPhone headphone out on full, I was close to 11 I clock. The pairing sounded great.

Whoa nice job Doug. It's a great can, the things it can do and show you should be very helpful in all of your circuit building.

Just got a 4s from good ole HF. My pico power is excited.

Sweet.

Cool - I believe I'm better off just getting a cheap adaptor off of eBay vs the one sold by etymotic, yes?

Other than the impedance, is the only thing truly separating the two an added resistance to a p to s adaptor? Have been looking for a er4s, got offered a p at a nice price and thinkin about just getting the adaptor.

Thanks guys! As stated in the dark lord thread little did we realize our plan to head to three Floyd's for lunch and bring back beer would be thwarted by dark lord day. Instead we went to revolution brewery which is in Logan square and it was excellent. Bulls kicked butt and the kids sang many happy birthdays to me. Last night we had a cappella concert and the students rocked the house. I am very tired.

So proud

Ah totally forgot. You are awesome!

Arg. Darn you lack of audio autocorrect

I would say analog audio the 103 is normal and the 106 is much better I have the 103 as a transport to an ecp dac and it works fantastic. I have a set of audioengine a2's connected to the analog out of the 103 which serves as a decent preamp of sorts, the downmix to stereo is excellent.

Audio.

My only case of credit card fraud was through an illegal purchase through newegg

Yup. Love my oppo. I believe you can stream DSD wirelessly to the oppo as well. Just started to mess around with the oppo and its network streaming, with oshare its stupid easy.

Ah mogami forgot about that. It might be a little more flexible if I recall.

Anyone mess with generic canare star quad? Lots of cheap options out there, looking for something long 4 pin and reasonable.

Next curious item of agenda - hearing my 600's with a cardas (currently 650 cable).

If you took the refinement of the 650 and the more neutral tonal balance of the 600 that would be a nice can.

Thank you for returning the sanity back to this thread. (In old headfi voice) you hd600 haters simply don't have good enough of an amp to drive them (old headfi voice)

You guys are so on crack.

No.

Oh and those are some nice stands for the A5's. those would work for my HT setup though the A2s are doing great.

Jon! He's a good guy, has taken care of me much.

Nice rec. the 903 is noice.

Nate day! You rock!
