Yesterday I received my $11 CX300's from eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...4481&rd=1&rd=1 Lots of visual differences between the two - logo size, wire gauge, general construction, mini-jack design, typos on the packaging, etc.. Not even close to iPod bud quality! I feel...

I just bought a pair of CX300-B's for $11 shipped http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...4481&rd=1&rd=1 I have the pair that I bought from Newegg a few weeks ago so I can do an A/B comparison.

I take it the Zhaolu rocks?

You should have quoted him.

1) You're saying the Zhaolu is sh!t based on one persons subjective review 2) You are doubting the ability for the mods to make a drastic difference 3) How is the OP all of a sudden the horses mouth? FWIW I sold my HeadFive because the discrete amp in the Zhaolu sounds just as good to my...

Nice! I had an OPA2604AP in my upgraded discrete amp as well, but I decided to replace it with the OPA2107AP since TI sent me (5) of them. OPAMP rolling FTW

Blue Jeans offers some excellent cables, and the one in my sig uses the same materials (belden 1505F + canare connectors). I think BJC charges $25 for this particular cable. However you can't go wrong with either one.

I received my replacement modded pcb a couple of days ago from Eddie Wu in HK. This time he replaced the Dale's with metal film resistors at the sound stage. I removed the (4) Elna cerafines that attach to the bottom of the pcb where the (4) Muse DC block caps are located and performed the...

Yes, I received the replacement a few days ago. You can read more here.

The link to the cable that you need is in my sig. The Zhaolu + X-Fi is an excellent combo that won't hurt your wallet too much.

I just received my OPA2107AP's and look forward to swapping them out as soon as my modded PCB arrives. Right now it's Inbound Out of Customs.

Now I need to post my K701 vs. RS-1 thoughts.
