Nah,

The good news is I have a Senn HE60/HEV70 shipping to me tomorrow.

The bad news is Rudistor already did the Stax re-termination with additional pigtail to allow using Stax plugs on the HEV70.

More bad news is I spend my balanced amp money on the HE60/HEV70

The rest of the bad news is that I did have to give up my spare pair of stock Edition 9 and a bit of money, but I still have the APS v3 re-cabled Edition 9...

Thats not bad news at all. Congratulations! The HE60's are great headphones and very enjoyable to listen to the better the amp you get. Let me know how you like them once you get them.

It was a toss up between the Furutech 601s and the Xhadows but since I went with the Xhadow's on my K701s, I thought why not keep it consistent.
