I can tell you how much that I've sold the "entire system" to a 60 years old man in Kunshan, China (the city had a huge explosion back few days ago) back in 2010...Rmb 200,000 (or US$33,000, roughly) after 10 years of ownership!


Hahah i can only imagine how much it cost brand new bro...i will never be to that level..well..i dont think so anyways

I ordered a pair of Logitech UE6000's for portable use so I dont have to carry around an AKG K240 and FiiO E11... Getting it Monday through Wednesday next week... Also, so I dont have to listen to external noises.

  thanks for the answer. 
what were the specs for ordering the cable, im kinda lost there with all the requirements.
Does the cable realy sounds better than the stock one? in what way?

On Ted's website, you can find the how to order form and for any special requests, just email him :)

It's pretty straightforward. My order which I emailed through to ted was:

Model: UM Miracles (recessed sockets)
 
Wire: Silver LITZ
 
Length: 4'
 
Y-Connect: Wood
 
Plug: Viablue small

He'll then send you a paypal invoice. Easy!
 
 
IMO it tightens the bass - noticeably so. Mids are the same. Highs - they seem to have a little bit more sparkle, it's hard to describe. It is different sounding though.

Can't go wrong with Ted..

I now use the FiiO X3 player with my AKG K550s:
 

 

 
I used to use the iAudio X5L strapped to the FiiO E11 and that just looks huge when comparing them. My X5L has given up on both the line out and the headphone socket so is no good anymore. It was built like a brick and didn't feel like it would stop working. It did in the end though.
 


 
It is great that the X3 sounds so good with my K550s without a portable amp added. The E11 does add a bit of volume and its bass boost is a little deeper sounding than the X3's own bass EQ.
 
I am really pleased with my X3. Such a big improvement in sound quality compared to my old player if you use the headphone output. I liked that you could still use the EQ through the line out of the X5L. That is one of the few things I miss on the X3.
Maybe a small clock would be nice too!
