Amazing sound quality inexpensive earbuds
Chandliz, Largest pieces are a little too large for my ears but give good bass. The only problem is that mid-bass is recessed and replaced with stronger midrange. Split rubbers give fuller sound - decent with Galaxy S3 but much cleaner with Fiio E...

Mapman, you cannot go wrong with AKG K3003 and it is on sale right now for only $1300 (and it is not made of gold)http://www.amazon.com/AKG-K3003I-Reference-Earphones-Control/dp/B006Q4NSK8

Milpai, I don't know. Impedance (24ohm) should be OK but loudness depends on the particular player. I don't have Discman to try.

Philjolet, what do you think? Average, Great, Bad? Was I wrong?

That's strange. I got two pairs and both came with groved pieces installed. They even show unopened box here: http://www.gooddigitalshop.com/lg-hss-f420-quadbeat-se-black-optimus-g-in-ear-headphone-earphone-handsfree.html 
Amazon
For me it is easier to order thru Amazon (easier payment) even third party goods. It also shields my credit card number. That way my credit card appears in 1 instead of 100 places (that might have questionable network security).

Csontos, One that is installed has different shape. It is longer and has grove in the middle. That's the one with more bass (if you want it). 
Linear ATX Power Supply
I've never heard of one. Computer power supply is regulated. To reproduce it in linear fashion it would have to operate at minimum line voltage and be able to take max line voltage. Since there is perhaps 20% difference between max and min linear ... 
Electrolytic capacitors inferior?
Dougmc, Life of electrolytic cap is a function of temperature. At room temperature they last 50+ years cut by half for every 10degC temperature increase. It is simply drying of electrolyte. The other factor is design that doesn't overstress them (...

Csontos, I was afraid of that. Give them time. Bottom is fuller and stronger with original double rubber pieces. I found that smaller piece reduces bass expanding midrange. I still believe it is great bargain for $29 total. As for typical $3 earbu... 
Are the XLR outputs of OPPO BDP-105 true balanced?
Very interesting, thank you Al. My Rowland 102 has THAT Corp. input instrumentation amp THAT1200. 
Are the XLR outputs of OPPO BDP-105 true balanced?
In one case in order to provide perfect cancellation both output stages have to have exactly same gain and bandwidth while in the other scenario whole leg of amplification has to have exactly same gain and bandwidth - otherwise common mode noise c... 
What kind of power cord comes with expensive gear
Drjaym, that would be the case of resistive load but linear power supplies draw narrow spikes of very high amplitude current causing much bigger voltage drops than one would expect. Also, they pollute with noise as much or worse than switching pow... 
Cambridge Audio Product Reliability
I had Cambridge Audio integrated A3i, that was shorting outputs with a lot of hum and smell of power transformer. I found out, talking to designer of this amp, that 4 LED diodes (2 per channel) used as voltage reference for output section, are mou... 
Can we increase dynamics?
Jjrenman, Just 16/44.1 CD files. John, I found so far that compression is far more complicated than just squeezed dynamics while your experience proves it to be difficult to properly set. I think I might play with software but will definitely avoi...
