All AKGs need some cablechange, n tube-loving ...we shall see/hear
I think what he means is not everyone has a $3k-$4K or more full system budget. So if your budget is $2k, it could be wise to spend the $1500 (hopefully less though) on the easy to drive flagship and the other $500 on an affordable, yet transparent setup vs a $1500 setup driving an HD650, for instance.
You can build your own cable and improve the sound for around $30, http://www.head-fi.org/t/378255/akg-k702-build-your-own-cable
For me this was a nice improvement over the original cable.
There is also a big improvement in the system you build for your unique requirements/flavor. This is a big issue and is not necessary is you prefer to to believe the O2 amp is the best for you.

I was faithful to my dt250 for 7 years....until I found headfi...
Since then it's been sordid.
I'm so confused!!! Does cable improve sound quality? If so, how?
Usually headphone that sound very good out of portable doesn't scale well, but it could also be that
Very good (portable) -> Very very good (properly amped), altho I never seen one for the later, but we'll see.
