MS-2 fanboys, now is the time! I still love my K340s, but the head-fi collective wisdom is right, they do need recabling unless you're perfectly happy with an "espresso" kind of sound. I do think I've found my headphones, with the MS-2s. I have them hooked up to a recapped Naim Nait2 (through the ASL adapter), using a Naim CDP, and it was heavenly. It reminded me of the best sound I've ever heard in my life, i.e., Quad ESL-57s, the Senn Orpheus, etc. It's in that league. Seriously! (I owned 57s, heard Orpheus at length.) Clarity without brightness, sharpness but no shriekiness, musical message delivered with no editing. Highly involving. I realize that my amp may noy be head-fi typical, but it's still considered a brilliant amp in many circles.
I dare say that the "classic" MS-2 will become a real classic, in the manner of, ahem, the HP-1000, not only does it sound great, it looks better than the MS-2i. (Tried to post pics of the Naim/MS-2 system, but file too big. Next time.)
