i see, do you happen to have an extra piece? i bought some muses01 from them previously

anyone managed to open them up to swop opamps? found some reviews online. pls use google translate to read it.   http://dsl.seesaa.net/article/390996582.html

my current setup, output by rca to alo panam :D  

i have no idea.. been using it for a long time. btw i bought my russian tubes for only $15  

my russian tubes looks the same as yours, don't worry :p

Just received the brainwavz hm5 spare earpad. it looks similar to the original earpads but the stuffing seems lacking :(

i heard the opamps inside can be swapped. is it true?

yes. its only a quarter of the cost of passport. i bought it for fun, no intent of using the pan am outdoors. using it as a portable charger for my gadgets.

Just to share my setup. yeah i know it looks hideous :D
