The 'P' upgrade adds a second power supply board. And one thing experienced headfiers likely already know, power supply is everything, right?

I'm hoping removal of the PCB might make a meaningful improvement (like getting the wheels aligned and tires balanced on your sports car). My ***plan*** is to remove the PCB, then reinstall stock cable. If all goes well (and my phones survive surgery), next step will be the Nordost cable. gotta run -- late for work!!! |
