I was watching some YouTube reviews of the BTR7, using my BTR5, when this opportunity came up

I'd love to do away with the 2.5mm adapter

I will never sell that headphone, I love it! Original Sony MDR-Z7 for the win!

I'll only let them go to own the Z1R again, but I would miss the smaller design. Light, comfortable, easy to drive makes them an easy choice for movies, that Sony Kimber on the other hand...

Having both side-by-side, you can lay down with the Z7, it being way more comfortable in that regard. Though the ZIR has the technicalities and frequency response worth sitting-up for! Lol. :)

Yes, there is something of a renaissance going on right now.
Many of those who buy something just to try it and immediately sell it until the price drops have already satiated their curiosity.

Meanwhile, almost 10 years have passed and similar devices that could compete with it in terms of sound in its size have not appeared. (Recently there was an Oriolus, but there is no such simple replacement of tubes.)
In the end, the device did not become very popular and its circulation was not very large.
That's why, I think, the sequel has not been released yet.

Meanwhile, it's nice that the device is still being supported by the company, as far as I know.
And the interest is alive, so it is not easy to find it. It took me a while to do it.

You're spot on...and I used to own the Oriolus and paired it with it with a WM1A. Excellent pairing I regret selling that one too because I got caught up in upgraditis...but good thing the Orioles is still around, for the moment anyway. I am gonna hit up ALO and see if they can locate one somewhere.

I'm not sure. Too much time has passed. So you can only search and hope that someone will sell.
