Have you ever considered the fact, that with the amount of money invested in your collection of cans, you could have brought yourself a Stax 009, or even a Stax 007 setup?
With that amount of cans, how do you get the time to listen to them all if you don't mind me asking? I don't mean to offend by the way.... I'm simply curious.

A lot of the fun in this hobby is about the journey so price doens't really matter. he probably acquired these over many many years.. He might rotate some of them in any & out or maybe he's just a collector. I know myself, I used to own at least 7 $300+ cans at one point. I finally sold some of them (and gave some others away) recently because I wasn't ever using them again hah.
1. 6 ohms JVC HA-G77 (originaly replaced and rewound driver) patented in Serbia >DD drivers speakers>.
Those cans of massive sound are amazing. They need some amplifying , but they quite fits in better sound card with good pre-amp.Volume is linear, you may be surprised with their purity and cristal clear with very wide sound stage. Never heard this headphones before like this!!! maybe AKG sound similiar, but not that quality like 6 ohms giants. They are totally analitic and good in any music production .Not for portable use. With no problem i can compare these headphones with any over 600 euros.The lower the resistance of drivers ,headphones sounds better. i sign that.
2. Sony MDR-XB700 24 ohms
3. Sennheiser Momentum 16 ohms
4. AKG k240 64 ohms
I don't consider the LCD-XC to be a "done right" headphone, IMO, the treble was too recessed for me and it's so uncomfortable. Same with the JVC, I've seen multiple posts about the headband being uncomfortable but I have no heard this headphone myself, so take that with a grain of salt. I haven't heard the Pandora either so that might work prove me wrong. I don't think including modded cans (such as the ZMF) is fair given the company who made the headphone originally, couldn't get it "done right" themselves. If you consider comfort, as I personally do, then the LCDs are out, most likely so are the JVCs (from what I've read), and so are the Focals and then my point still stands. Again this is my opinion.
I don't quite agree with your comment regarding modded Cans, ZMF and my favorite, the Alpha Dog, take decent mass produced HP's and recreate them to deliver a significantly better SQ. The Alpha Dogs are neutral, true to the music, and provided an excellent alternative for private listening, IMO. Cheers
I read it that way too at first, but then I realized that Byrnie was saying that Fostex didn't do it right in the stock version; he wasn't criticizing professional modders.
