Are you sure this wasn't just referring to the design changes from Jupiter? The current shells for the Andromeda are rounder than the Jupiter and use different screws. I am very dubious that CFA has decided to halt production and redesign everything.

No, but I did figure it out. It's a spacer for pairing with an external amp.

I just got my international version, and it came with a little piece of black silicone/rubber with Sony printed on one side and the narrow edges radiused on one side. What is this for?

This would be my vote. I replaced my SE535 with the Westone W30 and am much happier with them in every respect.

I haven't heard the original C5, but compared to the RHA 750i, I think the Series 2 has less bass. It's just about right for me, where the 750i could get overwhelming at times. I like them a lot, possibly more than my SE535.

What is the issue with the scroll wheel that has been corrected? Mine is very often unresponsive until I turn it a few clicks, but I hadn't brought it up, expecting the usual "limited resources blah blah if you want an ipod buy an ipod" response that criticism is met with. However, if this is...

LO to a UHA-6S.MKII for me. I still think the HO isn't an improvement over a Rockboxed Fuze or Clip+. In my mind, that isn't a dig at all and the extra features of the X1 make it worth the money, but the (X1 into) UHA-6S.MKII is pretty special.

I mean the Fuze, not the Fuze+. Mine looks like complete hell because it's lived in my pocket with my keys and whatnot, but it is still going strong after 5 or 6 years. I hadn't really taken the build quality into consideration, but if I factor that and the ability to play higher res files, I...

  I'm not sure I'd say it's worse than my Rockboxed Fuze, but I'm not sure it's appreciably better either. I am considering getting an E11k to pair with it, but so far, on its own, I think the extra power output is the only edge the X1 has over a Sansa at half the price. Edited to add that...

Turning on inline control support doesn't "stick". I have to re-enable it every time I restart the player.

I am really struggling with multi-disc albums. I have them organized in folders as artist/album/CD1 and /artist/album/CD2 with track number (01, 02, etc) prepending each file name. However, accessing the album in Categories piles all of the tracks in order by filename, not by disc order. When I...

I picked up a pair of these a few days ago, looking for something with lower bass extension than the RE400, which I do love. All of the stock tips were incredibly uncomfortable (I have a very hard time finding any tips that don't hurt. I had a pair of Comply T-400 lying around and that those...

I own a pair of MA750i and would love to review the T10i.

Great!

Darn it, I thought the discount on the upgrade to Pro was good through the end of the month :(   Although the price now makes it even less enticing, I'm not getting a feel for just how much better the Pro sounds over the 3.2 that I've got. I know it's subjective and we're getting into...
