    I guess I'm not really over and out. I'm just going to adjust my expectations for this site and it's leadership. I'm sure I don't understand all of the challenges they face, so I'll change myself and my posts instead of expecting others to change.

  Found one minor issue with my Piety. It has a scratchy pot. It's only when I turn it, so it's not a real problem. :)

    The solution is to bypass the pot and put an uber fancy preamp in front...

    @Cspirou sounds like I need to try a different set of input rca cables and a different input source and see if it persists?

  Piety is a really pleasant piece of gear. I can’t find a flaw.

    I can. Listen to the double basses in orchestral music. Also, the woodwinds. The problems differ with each. We'll see if burn in fixes them. In any case, don't let me or anyone else "yuck your yum."

    How did you fix the Brainwavz on the Focals...there website does not indicate they work with Focal unless I'm missing something...

    Try Utopia pads on the Elear. They’re not cheap, but they really fix the stock tuning.

    I fit the brainwaves on with snap adapters from amazon.

  Please post new stories so we can get the poop off the front page. It's kind of gross and I'm tired of seeing it honestly.

  Found the ie300 to be too resonant. I listen to a lot of ambient stuff at work, and it's just not a good combo.

    I don’t enjoy the frequency response of the stock Elear, but I love it with Utopia pads. It sounds like the Elex, but it’s even more comfortable because the pads are leather. And you get a five-year warranty, instead of two years. :)

    I'm very impressed so far. I like the way it fits. The connector allows the hook to swivel and makes for a great fit. These are the most comfortable iems I've owned so far. Next step is to find spare tips that have the customizations Sennheiser built into the stock ones.

    People seem to gravitate towards the Final E, SednaEarfit, and SpinFit (CP100 I think) - I haven't seen anything like the stock tips unless you want the Comply with wax guard. I use the Sedna's on my IE600 for an all-around balance or the included foams for more laid-back.
