How easy or difficult was it to disect the EX1k connectors?
I've been playing with the thought of changing the cable, even though I use the CHORD Mojo, so there's no need to go balanced.
I have received the SONY IER-M9 about 2 months ago and it made me appreciate the EX1k even more.
The M9 is very detailed, very precise, but the EX1k has an energy, a bass foundation, clarity and dynamics that are much more engaging.
I also compared the EX1k against the DUNU Luna which I had on loan for 6 weeks, and while I consider the Luna overall a bit better, the EX1k is holding up extremely well and once you take price into consideration the EX1k is hard to beat.
