Mod the input resistors to a higher impedence?
For headphones that only require one cup plugged (meaning there is an interconnect between the two drivers), why bother upgrading the cable if you're not going to upgrade the crappy stock wire inside the headband?

^Hi Bill, I think I saw that you have one of these Z7 coming? I want to install the Speedball upgrade now that I have had all my tube amps out and easily available. I'll let you borrow it again whenever I actually get that done. I'm currently stuck needing to get some misplaced capacitors out of a tube clock project.
I'm starting to think it's the mids of the Z7 that's disconnected from the other 2 frequencies. It's a bit too thin, maybe due to the dip in frequency response, and as a result, it's sounding disjointed from the fuller bass and treble. Some mods to fill this out may just be the fix. Or alternatively, I think a portable tube amp... like... for instance, the ALO Continental, would be wonderful with the Z7.
Is 70ohm to low to benefit from a tube like the old 70 ohm lcd3 according to tyll?
I'm taking my Z7s to the NYC head-fi meet on 11/15. And one of my "short list" things I want to do is listen to them with Woo's new prototype portable tube AMP/DAC; the WA8...
...with that said, I don't feel the mids are as recessed as others are reporting. I'm far from a "golden ears", but my perception of the mids is more relaxed.
Do you think the Walkman ZX1 will be able to drive these by itself? Thinking of getting a PHA-3 later on, but one can only afford so much at a time
Nothing hostile about my reaction, just pointing out that your post has literally no truth whatsoever in it.
