Nevermind, I decided to keep everything except the cables.
Some more details...Updated 7/2/07
I've literally had this system assembled for a month. I purchased components starting the middle of May and finished with the cd player in the beginning of June. I purchased the headphones and cardas cable new and they are in mint condition. Just barely broken in. The X-can was purchased on Audiogon from a polk member...Tapeshc. Its in mint condition as well. With NOS russian tubes. The cd player was purchased on Audiogon and does have one small scratch on the top of the case. Its barely noticeable though. System as a whole sounds fantastic, I just don't have time to listen to my 2 channel and headphone rig, so the headphone rig has to go.
1. Sennheiser HD650
The HD650s are in Mint condition. Less than 2 months old. The 10' Cardas headphone cable was bought from Galen Carol Audio and comes with the certificate of authenticity. All original packaging and paperwork are included for both the headphones and replacement cable. $420 shipped.
2. Musical Fidelity X-can v3
Excellent condition, no scratches or marks anywhere. Comes with original box, paperwork, and a matched pair of Russian 6H23N-EB from upscale audio. The original Jan Philips tubes are also included. $370 shipped
3. MHZS CD 33 Tube CD Player
Excellent condition with only a small scratch on the top left of the case. The front plate is perfect. The remote is solid aluminum and built like a tank. Comes with original box and all paperwork.
The MHZS CD 33 uses the same chip set that the MHZS CD 66 uses. The proprietary 24 bit DAC chip is capable of a sampling frequency of up to 192 kHz. The upsampling may be selected directly from your remote control. You have the option of selecting the standard frequency of 44.1 kHz or upsample to 88.2 kHz/176.4 kHz. There are two dual triode 6N3/5670 tubes, the same tubes found in the Shanling T-100. The MHZS CD 33 uses a SONY 213Q pickup with a Phillips SAA7824 servo. At critical points, MCAP, Solen and ELNA are used. Amplification is provided by the Burr Brown OPA2604, which is one of the best OP amps that money can buy. No longer for sale due to technical difficulties
4. Audioquest Sidewinders
.5m pair. Perfect condition. SOLD.
5. Kimber Kable GQ-Mini CU
Cable length is .5m. 1/8" mini to RCA. Perfect for iPods, Portable players, etc. Perfect condition. SOLD

This is a great headphone package. For many, this would be the last headphone setup you'd ever want.

I loved my MF v3, great piece of gear.CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.
