A guy in Taiwan bought it for 18,000 taiwan dollars, which is like 620USD

Wow I just got back to the States from Hong Kong and read about this thread. I read about his excuse, breaking into his home to threaten violence in Sai Kung, Hong Kong? Come on now Hong Kong is not that uncivilized. I am on the skeptical side. I will be going back to HK in two months to work...

The store is in Hong Kong. Are they going to refund you the money, need me to help out?

I would recommend against cutting at the connector portion. Instead you should solder at the wire region, may be leave half an inch of wire. That half an inch of wire isn't going to completely negate the mod. I did it this way using canare starquad and the improvement is really noticiable. Also...

I had the hd580 and hd650 and were contemplating which one to get rid of. For me, the hd580 highs and lows goes deeper, but the overall sound is more coarse. I went with the hd650 because he was more musical and easier to listen.

Just buy a couple RCA to 1/4" adapters and use your usual rca cables. They are dual mono output.
