For those that have upgraded their cables, how much improvement have you noticed?
Running them through a Burson Conductor atm; tried them with the WA6 too - but prefer them on the burson; keeps the bass tamed moreso.
I was getting these expecting to sell one of the other two... but i don't know now... may just keep all three
I don't like any of the three more than the other.. great to have choices.
My partner is appretiating the closed back too... not leaking so much and annoying her at night
I'm wondering if you guys think the treble sounds a little too aggressive or plasticky on these. The treble did seem kind of out there on some songs to me, but that was likely partly because it was loud at the meet and I had to turn them up. I'd be interested to hear if this is a problem for anyone in extended home use..
Are you serious? Those 2 photos were from your iPhone?? If so, kudos to your major, major talent.

Just got back from the San Diego meet and got a chance to try these (thanks Greed!). I think I've narrowed my headphones down to either these or the LCD-3's (scratched the HD800's off my list).

See the last paragraph of my post here;

I haven't experienced anything close to plasticky with the trebles on mine, but have in the past gotten that overly metallic (coin-in-mouth) taste at the highs. I attribute that to the Lavry DAC - highly resolving, but way too cold and analytical for my tastes - I was employing at the time, because it went away once I swapped to a more analog sounding Bladelius unit. Obviously, this is just my opinion. I suppose source and amp plays a huge role, just like with most summit-fi headphones, though it's better to go for musicality over technicalities with a rig pairing in the TH900's case, in my view. Transparency is good, but transparency with too much verbosity can sort of ruin the phone's natural sound.
Just my 2 cents.
Oh very interesting, this is the first I've heard of the TH900's changing over time.
