How new is new?

Are they new new, or just new to you?

If new new, take them back for an exchange.

If new to you but used, try to contact whoever sold them to you to see what they can do.

they were both BNIB 05s when i got them. they were off flea-bay so no return. the sound isn't too loud... its just noticeable enough to hear... i guess i can live with it. oh btw i kind of thought telling you guys a/b the idea with the port wasnt that good.... it was just a thought .. oh and is the burnt smell clipping? idk how the whole gain setting thing is..

and about the rattling... i had a cvr do the same thing... it was from having the gain cranked up too much

i'm thinking of letting my local shop set the gains. i read the gain setting thread..still have no idea how to do it...
