Does he do hardwire mods using a user provided headphone cord? or will he only do it using his own headphone cords?
And another downside, reading through that main thread, it seems quite a few people have had to send their headphones back on warranty, im not worried about Fang no taking them, im worried about having to pay over and over and over again to have them hardwired and unwired since you would want to keep youre expensive aftermarket cable.
I only ask cause when i get mine i would love to get some Q Cables black silk cable hardwired to them
Any write ups on how to hard wire them?
The brightness could come from your source. However, I frankly think that the HE-6 has a little too much treble, and this makes it sound bright - even when properly driven. You could try an easy mod: take a piece of 1mm thick felt and makes two circular pieces with a 4cm hole in it and put each between the drivers and your ears. This will take away the excess treble and give you a little extra bass - without sacrificing SQ. In fact soundstage becomes bigger and the overall sound is more natural.
I think the issue stems from the fact that you're using an audio / video receiver. Yamaha makes some great 2-channel receivers and integrated amplifiers with "variable loudness" controls. The variable loudness feature allows you to somewhat adjust the frequency for better performance during lower volume level listening sessions. In this regard, A/V receivers can't compare to what is being offered by Yamaha in the 2-channel league.
Do you mean take a 4cm diameter round piece of felt and put it in between the drivers and the ears? Or make a larger piece of felt then cut out a 4cm hole so it looks like a large dougnut?

I just bought another vintage tube amp, a not widely known Copland CTA 504, 50wpc.
I should have it sometime next week.
Wuwhere, how do you find the sound with the Audio Research? Do you experience much greater dynamics, bass slam, treble extensions, sweeter mids, etc? I'm not caught between getting a standalone head-amp or wiring my HE-5LE to a speaker amp. Just wondering about the pros and cons of both methods.
Appreciate your feedback.
Cheers
