Hey, can anyone recommend a quality but not too expensive 4.4mm balanced cable for the MDR-z7?

This one is good and has the original ear cup connectors.

From Aliexpress. Earmax. $49.99

Don't think I'm ever ordering from Aliexpress again. First two cables were defective.

This one is good. I've ordered a ton of great things from Aliexpress.

Figure I’d share this post here as well.
Through some mighty trail and error I found an EQ profile that does a great justice to my ears at least, for the MDR Z7 MK1.

Love to hear from anyone here who has found a way to keep the love for these headphones at an all time high.

"yammering" not heard that expression before!

cant find a retailer of the z7mk2 in uk and its not listed on sony uk either.
so i am assuming its either discontinued or was not available in uk.

You shouldn't make such assumptions. The Z7MK2 is still listed on the Sony USA website and Sony's main Japanese website. The UK website is also missing recent products such as the MDR-MV1 open back headphone.

It's doubtful Sony would discontinue a product without there being any news on a replacement. In fact they are selling two generations of their popular Bluetooth 1000X headphones, demonstrating that they're willing to allow the life cycles of product generations to overlap each other.
