Wade:
I don't think the precision factor is as great as what some members have made it out to be. I installed them as logically as I could.

My thoughts as well, no use of batteries etc. As long as it sounds great I'm happy

Thanks for critique! I don't notice any problems with the sound in comparison to that of my S45s or Form2 headphones--that said it could change tomorrow or in three months. I don't think the precision factor is as great as what some members have made it out to be. I installed them as logically as I could.

Also, I will try posting the pictures differently so you don't have to copy and paste the links.

Wade, can I be honest? It looks like the inner ring on this picture has not been glued so properly. Not sure if it has any effect on the sound quality though.

If it doesn't then I dont have to work so precise the next time when I do my refoaming job.

btw, compliments on your first attempt doing refoaming

As promised, Here are some pictures from my CX refoaming project. A few notes--this was the first time I had ever attempted refoaming speakers and I consider myself slightly above average with technical knowledge and I like to learn. The first one came out the best (ironically) and I was disappointed that the others look messy with the glue.

The sound seems to be solid and I am happy with the performance after this project. Please share your comments and insight!
