Excellent write-up Joel. $100 is very steep though; for that price I'd rather improve the cables in my path and experiment with complete changes in the rig, rather than tweaks (though transformation annotates a pretty big change in your case).

Yes it's very steep in my book, but I would like to try it! Although I agree with Aura that 100 dollars could be put to better use and speaking of that I just bought some hd650's for 170 dollars.

Don't worry, I will post some pics of it later

Yeah I was just looking at the for sale section of head-fi like I always do, mind you I always miss the good deals. But this time my eyes were instantly laser focused on one thread, HD650's for sale, I was thinking in my head, it is probably going to be too pricey for me but why not check it out. I was the first person to view the thread and to my astonishment, the guy was selling them for 170!!!! I went nuts! I quickly sent him a pm and he said your the first person to pm, seconds later the payment was sent. All I can say is, I'm a happy man. All in a days work.

Not to mention I also have some Denon d2000's coming in, which I will attemp to Markl mod them. If only Denon would stop pushing back their shipping dates and get on with production.

Well-used, but well worth it. It's one of those deals that makes everyone else slap his forward in disgust upon finding out that they've already sold.

Congrats. Now go buy a Zu Mobius cable.

wow, nice find.
im always scared to go threw the for sale section there and here because i'm afraid i will buy stuff that i probably shouldn't be buying.
"oh, thats a good deal, a pair of k701s for only 250, done!"
"hey look, a paradisea for only 450! what a steal"
im bad at pacing my self.

Haha, Schubie, I think I have upgradetitis or whatever that's called. Maybe I'm the one who should stop visiting those for sale forums. As for upgrading to the Zu Mobius cable, I think I need to find my wallet again, "Wallet? Where are you wallet?"

390 and change is a steal for that. Didn't seem to last very long.
