they are identical i guess, but the box on my coby indicates cv 185 as far as i can remember.

my recent diyimod for a friend using mundorf silver/ gold wires internal 22uf/6.3v NX Black Gate           

the pads costs around 400pesos (approx 8 us$) locally, also you get a free hp with it

Quote: it's from a coby headphone cv18     fits the yh1 perfectly, the hp 2 with a smaller diameter also fits with no problems. the inner holes are also larger tha the stock pads.I must say the quality of these pads are very good, better than the stock pads of hd 25. i have no...

diy imod + mundorf LOD + mini^3 + tf10 in woody theme        

Quote: yeah pretty tough on the edges and curves, i had to use fresh blades to cut it. had to wait 2 days for the topcoat to fully dry. but it's all worth it =)     my other portable :     diy imod (47uf BG NX, mundorf wiring) diy mundorf ag/au LOD to rca diy battery...

Quote: thanks! it's just a wood vinyl, cut manually then coated with a clear gloss acrylic paint to give it a glossy wood finish.   real wood would be awesome

i don't encounter static noise on my yamaha orthos but i do hear static on my customs/ 32ohm headphones. i didn't check what vol pot does the e9 have, i assume its an 8-pin alps. a replacement pot of the same size and of much better quality would likely solve the static noise.

Quote: Interesting, i do have friends that already have the O2 about 2 weeks ago, around 2-3 units already...i haven't tried it yet but will do once we have a small meet up. Glad to hear it can drive these power hungry orthos...i do have a mini 3 HP edition and a protector but it cannot...
