Yuin PK-1 Recable
Hi, I haven't been on this forum for awhile, as I was satisfied with my simple iPhone Yuin PK-1 setup. I do want to recable the PK-1 to include the iPhone control buttons (Volume up/down, pause) and was wondering if there's any online vendors that can do it. If anyone knows please post. Thanks!- aluren

Anybody know what happened to head-fi member "EFN"??
The reason I posted this is because I sent a Vcap dock back to him for repairs and he had not responded for two months, with my consistent emails and pm's. I bought that Vcap dock from him in September 2007 and sent it back to him in October because a cable snapped. He was very responsive to my...- aluren

Any other company that makes high quality cables besides ALO?
As stated in the title, I wanna know if there's anybody else can makes high quality mini to mini cables or docks for the ipod. Now when I say high quality, I mean real expensive, top notch cables, not some $20 regular cables. So far I haven't really found anywhere else besides ALO.- aluren

Xin Supermacro IV and RSA Tomahawk
Here's some pictures of the two amps. In terms of thickness, both amps are very much the same. However, the TH is alot smaller.

I ordered a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 880 (250 ohms version) over the weekend and was wondering which amp works best with them.
