hi i'm new to this whole headphone addiction thing, and this is my first post, so hello to all, and thanks for the bombardment of info that i never thought i would be so into. Anyway, i just snagged an ss-100 on ebay under the radar when i was watching another pair. this is my first pair of orthos so i don't have much to compare to, but wow! i am pretty blown away! I've been listening for about 12 hours straight, and they are getting progressively better. I am hearing all my music again for the first time. I didn't know music could sound like this, i can hear way more detail in live instruments, and effects, and the bass seems more balanced than my other phones, despite the fact i primarily use bass heavy ones for djing. i was wondering if anyone has replaced the cable on a pair of these? mine is a little beat cosmetically, and i would like to try some solid silver wire because i probably wont take these out of the studio ever, and it might sound better. i read somewhere these are a pain to take apart, but wasn't sure they were talking about the driver itself or the whole thing. i have fixed a few old phones and am pretty confident in my shop skills, but i really don't want to do anything bad to these as i am pretty much in lust with them.
