Where does the CKS1000 fit on this list?

Same as S2 and Onkyo. They are all nice sounding and might be better than the other depending on your own preference. For me, its M200, S2, Onkyo and CKS1000 are even.

It's cool that you took the time to write up your impressions sf.

 

[Dsnuts]

Yup. Good job sf. I just got back from a day out doors. I discovered that I love eating food outdoors with family and friends, need to do that more often..I also discovered that I prefer listening to metal for taking 2 mile hikes along a lake. Makes for good pace..
 
So I got no message back from the Zu folks. It seems we are not important enough for them to get back to us. Or they could be taking the day off. I will give them till tomorrow to close the doors on them folks. Either way this whole experience seems kinda stinky to me. But in the ultimate scheme of things it is no big deal.

That's a little harsh, it's a national holiday today.

 

[Dsnuts]

Ya that is why I am giving them till tomorrow.. I am sure they was all outdoors like myself and enjoying the day so they get a pass for the weekend. We will see if they reply by tomorrow. I want to hear their excuse.
 
On another note. If the stars align. I should have my Onkyos tomorrow..

Zu folks travel a lot and its labor day weekend.  I wrote Sean Casey also and asked him what the deal was and to keep
those mission mini to mini cables available at the ebay price. no answer to me either , but again its labor day, so what..
it is strange, i give you that...lets see how it plays out without rushing to judgement. i need another zu cable for my x!s also...

 

[Dsnuts]

Ya the cable was ideal..So we will see how they reply..I think the more guys ask about them cables the more they are inclined to keep selling them but who knows what their excuse was..
 
It would be funny if these cables ended up being too good in that they provide almost the same sound of their custom headphone cables for $35 price..

I prefer listening to metal every day!

What bands do you like?

I prefer pop, rock and techno for jogs/power-walks.

Looking forward to your impressions. Listen to them, then let them burn-in for awhile. They really start to shine after 50hrs or so.

Whoa! That S2 has some weight to it in the sound signature. Me like!
 

 A/Bing to M200 right now.

 

[ericp10]

The S2 is closer to the M200 in quality of sound than I had initially realized. The M200 still has it beat, however, in wider soundstage, airiness, quality of bass, and refinement. But the S2 is not far behind in overall quality. Both have good weight on the instruments and micro-details. Vocals are tough. Both have excellent vocals, but I think the M200 has the edge of a bit more details in  vocals.

Listening to Duke Ellington and Coleman Hawkins playing Mood Indigo, and feel like Hawk is blowing in my right ear with his tenor. This is with the M200. Hawk needs to behave. ijs

I was tip rolling today and realized the short double flange Meelec. tips are the widest bore's I have.  It allows all the holes on the M200 speakers to not get blocked.  I did order the TF10 tips just in case.  Only problem with the Meelec. tips is that the driver is all the way to the tip.  I can actually feel the metal when it's in my ear so it's a no go.  I have gone back to the stock tips for the M200.  The Meelec. tips do work well on the Onkyo's though.

Sony Noise Isolation tips for me on the Onkyos. But I noticed pretty much most tips will work.
