Read that the UM1 is a actually the tweaked version of the Shure E1C. Infact, they share very similar physical appearances save for the colour of the body. Shure was actually using these drivers (of the UM1) for their E1C then. E1C is actually a step up from the E2C- then, the order of the numbering behind the "E" does not reflect the superiority.

I am selling them off as i do not like the sound signature-nothing wrong with the clarity or the details but i would like more treble in my earphones ala etymolotic.

Bought in January 2006 from the local distributor at Adelphi.

Package for sale comes with complete original accessories(all unused n new except for a pair of long comply which i will replace with a new pair.)

Include receipt n warranty from local distributor.

Like-new condition given its age and careful handling from user.

Basically is as good as a new package- all new and complete accessories-the earphone will be cleaned prior to transaction.

The UM1 from Westone delivers fabulous stereophonic sound quality in a True Fit earphone. If you've been longing for the hi fidelity, quality, and noise suppression enjoyed by touring pros the world over, it's now available direct to you at a price you won't believe.

Selling for SOLD FIRM

PM me if interested

The headphone circuitry commonly seen in cdps and integrated amps are humble pies when compared to dedicated headamps but whether one can discern sound quality difference is subjected to the person's hearing. Since you've already had the Original Master, stay with it and look elsewhere to solve your problem of convenience.

 

I can't recall but is there a set of RCA output from the Original Master? If affirmative, you could route the signal from there to input of an integrated amp.

 

CDP > input of Original Master > output of Original Master > input of integrated amp

If i recall correctly, Original Master only has a pair of input RCAs, not output.

Happy Birthday Mackie!

ha...last time i tried to MO the ksc-35 from ebay creative but was unsuccessful. so if you guys still getting the ksc 75 overseas, i am interested in shipping together.

Currently what would be the estimated total cost per set and also the optimum number of buyers to reach the best price?

Thanks

wow it looks nice

 

but how is it secured on our head?

Ask your girlfriend, she'll know cos it looks just like her headband.

Cool!

If it can act as a hair-band cum head-phone, then i think that is a winning formula if it also comes with detachable audio cables

But then, of course the weight of the headphone will come into question...

IMHO, I would recommend the Westone UM1 as a more suitable earphone instead of the Shure E2C even though the former retails for about $50 more than the latter.

Sonic-wise, upon side-by-side comparison with the UM1, E2C has clear vocals but at the expense of the clarity of the rest of the music; the rest of the music sound muffled.

Actually, i do think that the E2C is designed mainly for the vocalist to "hear" him/herself on stage when performing and not really suited for playback of music which demands reproduction over a wider frequency range.

IMO, IEMs are a tricky business: they sound good and have good isolation only when used with filters of the appropriate size for the individual and that the earphone is inserted properly. Thus, the user will have to spend some time experimenting to find the configuration that best suits the individual.

The rewards are its low profile and exceptional isolation(compared to headphones) when used in public places.

hmm

 

this kinda mentality promotes the jacking up of prices

 

well, up 2 u guys. ur money

hehe

I do agree with u on that to a certain extent.

IMHO it all hinges upon whether the difference in prices here and overseas are significant.

Eg, for Ety ER4 the difference is easily more than a hundred.

For that , it is obvious enough me to choose buying from overseas.

Although, of course, for the guy with very deep pockets, i dun think he would mind spending the extra hundred to instantly satisfy his aural crave.

So is a YMMV case

Pink Floyd-Dark side of the Moon (Hybrid)

Surprisingly, the hybrd is only more expensive than the pure-redbook version by a few dollars.

14/35 = 40%

 

haha

 

it's not that easy to get locally either

still have to go to the shop, instead of having it delivered to ur door step

still have to waste time going to the shop

still have to waste money, donating it to the already super duper rich sMRT or SBS or both

If it were me, i would rather save up on a extra-value meal+movie=$14 and get to enjoy the Koss instantly and have a peace of mind

No one's biting?

Out of the original package, only the earphones are used. The accessories are all NEW.

I will clean up the earphones and repackage them prior to transaction.

6 month old Shure E2C.

Bought locally with receipt and warranty.

Comes with the full set of accessories including 3 pairs each of foam/flex sleeves(all unused).

Been using my 'softies' sleeve all along.

idkfa: Lucky u living in the land of the rising sun. Jap press seems to be quite hard to get locally...

MAC Forum

FYI

The only place i know which stocks Japan Pressed CDs is HMV. Otherwise you have to try Yesasia.com or CDJapan.

OK. Will check out HMV else may just get the Hong Kong-pressed CD

Where can i find the Japanese-press of Mika's "Best" album in shops in Singapore?

The ones that i have come across here(Gramophone) are those "Made in Hong Kong"

Shure's black softies are at S$8 per pair. But not sure whether the fit would be ok for your earbuds. U can ask to try out at the shop, maybe? BTW, is at ground floor of SLS- Shure distributor(Cant miss it).

 

Are you refering to the Shure E2c earbuds?

Yes. But m not sure whether they can be adapted for use with the first poster's earphone.

To put it very simply a pre-amp to a power amp is like a headphone amp to a headphone.

 

To audiophiles & just like headfis, the addition of pre-amp will bring better sonic reproduction.

 

You can refer to www.echoloft.com for more info concerning SI T amp.

Since this is a discussion forum:

quite disagree. Doubt if there is a need for a power-amp equivalent for headphones

My take: "pre/speaker=head-amp/headphone".

This may also explain why some head-amps are also designed to be pre-amps in speaker set-up.

To audiophiles & just like headfis, the addition of pre-amp will bring better sonic reproduction.

Not always the case. In fact, purist would like a minimal of hardware in the audio reproduction chain.

You can refer to www.echoloft.com for more info concerning SI T amp.

That is really an online knowledge base, if u have the time and effort to sieve out the information.

Merry Christmas!

Price is further reduced- S$100

I presume you are using the dedicated line-outs?

 

Yup I did. I used my old discman D-EJ925 which has a shared line out and optical out. Not so much of an improvment other than the abilty to control the volume.

 

For me, i listen for the clarity of the hi-hats/cymbals at the pheripheral of the soundstage. I compared the results through the headphones-out and the line-out to the amp+headphone. The result from the line-out is a clearer and very distinct sound of the instrument.

The width of the soundstage is another part i listen out for.

Vocals especially sounded clearer and sometimes, it is very precise how the singer phrase the song.

My gear is Sony EJ955 line-out-stock cable-PA2V2

This is all my personal opinion-YMMV.

Hey dude,

http://www.sgheadphones.net/index.php?act=ST&f=8&t=3192-this review from the forum may be useful.

Personally, i have been using the amp for a few months now. I got it used from the MAC forum. IMO, it does improve the sound from the line-out of my discman. U should give it a try as only your ears will be able to tell the difference in sound-YMMV. The improvement in sound is more from the line-out than from the headphone-out.

There are a few issues that i observe with the amp:

-Channel imbalance when listening at low volumes(cranky volume pot?)

-MUST use rechargeables else the sound will be fuzzy.

Some are purely instumental(9,7) , one track acapella(2), vocals for the others.

I think what I want should be a Circum-Aural Headphone. Is Grado SR-60 one of those?

Supra-aural headphones don't completely cover the ear (grados, px100,200), but just rest on it

U might have missed that!

Price is reduced.
