I just answered a email along the same lines. Here is the email I sent and I think it captures my position on this with regards to the cost issue.
Sir,
Its took me a long time to figure out how to do this mod. The whole process is pretty involved but basically your paying for the innovation, materials, time to do the mod and what I believe to be a super product. If you can produce the best sounding headphone I think the price is correct. I have a pair of $900 GS1000s and my AKG701 is better. This AKG mod is the most difficult headphone to do correctly but the end result is well worth it. I understand the price is high but I also feel it to be correct. As a business person I have to ask for what I do in order for me to remain in business. I do not make a high volume of anything but what I do want to do and continue doing is make a small volume of very high quality products with good customer service.
I can terminate the headphone to what every plug you want. Yes Furutech plugs I do have and also include a 1/4 to mini adapter.
Again thank you
Ken
