Austin Morrow
Headphoneus Supremus
The other amp that drives me Q insanely well is the HA-160DS. Absolutely phenomenal PRaT. So energetic.
Add in a ZX SXC cable and that's just the icing on the cake!
Nice photo Austin! That Burson looks mighty fine

I'm having blue jeans cable build me a cable, and its cheaper than what it would have costed for me to buy the stuff myself and put it together.
Have tried both extensively and currently own the Q701. There is a difference.
•The bass is no where near as bad as the K701.
•The midrange is not as lean and the vocals are much improved
•More layered soundstage.
EDIT: Didn't see that you said K702...
Q701 + HeadRoom Bag is a great fit. It almost looks like they designed it specifically for AKGs...
EDIT: Also, you can see my modified headband in the 2nd pic. It's a Walmart seatbelt pad, cut up with scissors and attached with velcro wraps. Extremely elegant and professional.
BTW if anyone wants a dirt cheap Q701 stand try the Banana holders at Bed Bath and Beyond. Only $9 and more stable than the hose holder at Home Depot.
Here's a picture:
It doesn't work for any other headphones. Only those with the metal headband.

Let us know what you think of it. I actually never knew they made customs cables like this. I bet they will use Belden wire, which is what they normally use for interconnect cables. It's really good wire and I prefer it to Mogami/Canare. Someone should make a Q701 cable with Canare and see what it's like. Since it's a fairly warm sounding wire, it should be a good match.
Recommendation please for a custom ready made replacement cable, M Stage Amp and HRT Streamer, any thoughts on Cardas Cable @ $200, is this over the top at just as much as the phonnes are to buy? Cheer's
