Haha, yes I noticed that.
I realized my shipping and GST costs over 60SGD, which is quite a substantial amount.
However, it is still cheaper than getting it locally.

Hi,

Shipping+Insurance=50SGD
GST=20SGD (not confirmed)

Yes, it amounts to over 60SGD which is not good :(

But I don't mind as I also ordered the Rocky & Bullwinkle DVD...


Guys, Have you got any idea where to get the er4p to er4s cable cheap? I want to make a DIY one... Have you heard of any such thing?

Also, what about the Shure volume attenuator? I spent 6SGD on the dumb taxi fare to Sim Lim Square specifically to go to Huang Brothers (whats the correct name?? I forgot) and they did not have it in stock. Where can I get this and Shure slilcon buds?!

Thanks!

I was quote SGD$21.80 for VPOST to Singapore. I doubt they actually charge GST on a single item.

Shure grey flex tips works on ER4P, but I have the impression that the foams work better on them.

Most agree that balanced amature drivers don't need burn in. Could always try my method if you don't mind, use an FM radio and keep it on for about 3 days in a row.

Best way though, would be to burn it in while listening.

With issues to Burning-In, some believe while some don't. Most of the people agree that armature drivers IEMs do not need burning-in, but they forgot the cable to the drivers. :)

You may use FM Radio. However I will tend to use bass-heavy tracks to burn-in a couple of hours after the 1st day on Burn-in track or FM Radio. The reason is because bass notes tend to draw more current to be audible. While this method is still a myth, just keep the IEMs running in with whichever that makes you happy. :D
If impressing/being impressed is how it gets you around, forget it. It is not gonna happen.

I have an er4s, never found any difference in it's sound with more usage, even after i sent it in to ety for a change in drivers. But it could be my head telling me things. Audiophilia is full of crap sometimes... :xmas:
