what's the tiny little white dot near the connector does please?
That is triple accel from Rosenkranz (Japan) which increases staging and slightly tighten bass. There are several other similar products such as Telos, Sixth Elements and Brimar. They are quite commonly used in Asia.

Have you tried this Hi End audio product?


http://www.machinadynamica.com


People buy these things, religiously convinced that audio is improved as a result.

In case you don't bother with a link, here are highlights:


All of our springs will come cryogenically treated, not only the Cryo Baby Promethean Mini Isolators but also the very soft springs for very lightweight components and the Super Stiff Springs for very heavy components.

NEW PRODUCT: SUPER STIFF BABY PROMETHEAN MINI ISOLATORS - FOR ISOLATING REALLY HEAVY THINGS. Super Stiff Springs are rated at 30 lb each plus or minus. These super strong springs allow use of granite or marble slabs under the component. Now isolating things like Verdier turntables, big VPI turntables, heavy subwoofers or heavy amplifiers is a snap. The Super Stiff Baby Promethean spring is 2 inches tall uncompressed (1.3 inch compressed) and 1.5 inch outside diameter

Why?

Could you maybe give some introduction? Why should anyone here read it?

Is it abour Audeze or audio related, at all? It is low form to just drop a link and say Read It
Calm down.
I am just sharing this link coz not only the people from far East believe this but a seasoned reviewer like twister6 notices a change.
I would like to try these products if I get a chance.

Great! Next time, post a short description with your link.
Don't just post 2 words, "Read This!", and then post a blind link to some snake oil site.

I'm glad I did not "Read it".

This is LCDi4 thread, highest of hi end, true pinnacle of engineering, legitimate State of The Art. Not a place for some magic stickers and snake oil.

Well stickers or not, the i4 is just an amazing piece of technology. I keep getting more and more incredulous over how these things are just mellowing and getting better little by little.
I have the 4z, and they are just incredible, but I seem to be listening to i4 quite a bit more just because they are so darn light and comfortable to wear for many hours at a time. Well that
and the SQ is just gorgeous... Overall, it is just really difficult to find a better headphone than the i4. I can scarcely imagine how they would sound on a balanced system.

Indeed, the more I listen to them the more I like them!

Talking about balanced...can someone recommend an (entry level) balanced cable that would fit into the balanced 2.5mm output of an Astell player (SE100)?

PW Audio No5 is a nice entry level cable that you can get with the 2.5mm termination. It works well with the i4. But it would have a smaller soundstage than the stock cable. Infact, most entry level cables would have a slightly smaller stage than the stock cable.
