Thanks, DaBomb and uelover!   BTW, I found that Blue Jeans cable offers  BJC MSA-1 Miniature Stereo Audio Cable, 1 foot, 1/8 TRS Female to 2 x RCA Male. Is that the same thing with 3.5mm (1/8") stereo female mini jack to male L/R RCA adapter cable? I mean, does that thing work for my...

Hi,    I am virtually a newbie in this world, so please pardon my ignorance question.   I need your recommendation for filling the following blank: IMod----ALO Supper Cotton Dock Cable---(     )----Matrix M Stage Amp.   Of course, I know ALO offers a good IMOD to RCA cable, but...

Thank you guys for the great infos!

Although there are some who offer K701 recabling service, almost all of these services cost well over $300-350 (I know DIY kit but I am not sure I can make it). Is there any affordable (below $300) and reliable service provider there? Otherwise I will go for getting a stock HD 650...

Thanks guys for your great replies!

Hello Folks, Although I am quite happy with my current rig, I want to experience another sonic world. I am considering buying Senn's, but still deciding between the HD 600 and 650. The one thing that make me hesitant more is that there is an option of recabling of my K701, and that HD...

Just be sure to follow closely his instruction: In subject put your order number and yur concern specifically. Use plain text format (no HTML format!) At least for me, this worked.

Well, I am persuaded by you guys. I'll email Dr. Xin about this issue! My reference's headphone out is also somewhat loose (thus makes some noise in moving) and the power doesn't seem to be enough to make sing some highly veiled classical recording (let's say, Abbado and BPO's new Beethoven...

I am not so impressed by the soundstage of Reference (now almost 300 hours burn-in). Not so wide, even narrower than Headphonia amp. Let's see how it evolves as time goes by.

Skylab, do your review reflect so-called "burn-in" effect or are they kind of "out-of-the box" sound?

Thank you, Clutz and riceboy for your great replies!

Need some advices. I am currently quite happy with my K701 through 5g iMod/Xin Reference. Yet, I'd like to feel a different sonic world too. Do you guys have any recommendation of cans? I'm fan of classical music, mostly piano sonata and symphonies. The candidates are er4s (I've heard that...

Does 1/4'' make sound better? My Reference has only 1/8 output, so I'm considering to send it back to Dr. to have 1/4" output.

He listened to several beta versions of Reference.

Although being a great review, Skylab's evaluations do not seem to reflect any "after-burn-in" improvement, don't they?

Thanks, jamato8!

BTW, what is the best way to change the order already placed, I mean from Micro to Ref?

Thank you, Miguel! You saved a newbie who was distressed by no reply!

Hi Folks, This is my first post, and I thank you guys for your great knowledge and discussion. Here I have three questions: (1) Can SuperMicro drive AKG K701's to a satisfying level? (2) If I go to REFERENCE rather than Micro, how can I order REF although there is no cart to order it...
