LOL the Z7 has been calling my name too . Part of why I want to sell some gear as well. Maybe I will win the lottery LOL.

Ears are ringing after using the K712 for about an hour so I definitely grew used to gentler treble while reviewing the RHA T10i. Gonna have to baby my ears for a few days LOL.
Well I have decided to let my pair burn in for a couple days and see if it helps calm them down a bit. They are cookin now and I will use a different HP for the rest of tonight and see how they are doing tomorrow.
I am leery of the 1A as I have owned the 1R in the paste and was just not impressed enough to keep them. Something about a 70mm driver is just alluring though but I tried the MA900 and found it lacking this the desire to try the Z7 as it is supposed to fix most of the issues with the MA900.I hope I get the chance to hear it sometime. But likely I'll just bite the bullet before hearing it. A friend of mine just bought the MDR-1A, I'm curious if they sound anything like the Z7 as both have aluminum coated drivers. I have faith Sony can pull off a really good closed-back.

agreedAh I see. I sorta liked the 1R but it needed some improvements. Same here. I had the MA900, my main problem was a fuzz or grain actually which I attribute to the impedance resistor. If that fine fuzz throughout the whole sound isn't there at all, I can't see me disliking the Z7.
agreed
Agreed, again LOL
I will try my Audioengine D1 tomorrow as it is kind of tame in the treble area so may make a good match to the K712.
Yep. Although back to the subject. I decided to finally mess with the gain settings on the Lyr 2. The K712 sounds better on low gain, takes a bit of the treble edge off on similar volumes. It becomes more laid-back and relaxed, more akin to a more spacious and faster HD 600. Maybe high-gain puts a little too much power into the K712. Need to spend more time with low gain and different tubes.
