  I did not know that. The cable gauge does seem very small though compared to the Beyer T1s (which are a balanced terminated into single ended). Had no hesitation chopping up the T1 as the cable wasn't that pretty.
 
I wish all flagships would come as a 4pin XLR with a 4pinXLR-M to single ended as a standard. Would only cost them about $15.

 
I totally agree with the statement. However, take it from a production point of view. When you sell about 1000 unit, the power of the multiplier really hurts (1000 x $15) $15000

I'm not a manufacturing mogul so that may very well be the case. I run a high end service business and I pass the cost onto the client. My surveys suggests that our target market is very happy to absorb margincal costs associated with keeping options open and is foundational.
 
I wouldn't be surprised that the bottom liners make these cuts because they are used to dealing with clients/customers that fall under the bell curve.

Anyone willing to part with their ANVs for a reasonable price? 
 
always the cycle of not having enough money when they're posted, and then buying something else when I do save enough...

There one listed in the trade forum for $1100, that's pretty reasonable.

Nope! 
 
I've owned the TH900 before and couldn't take the recessed vocals. 
So based off of reviews and friends who listen to the same music as me, I've decided to try these out.

I agree that the TH900s had recessed mids, but they weren't as bad as the D7000. I really liked the W3000s when I owned, but found their mids a bit on the honky side (and too forward). Something in-between would have been perfect. Currently the Sony Z7s are my closed headphone (I don't need closed headphones as often as I used to).

vocals won't sound recessed on these

I agree. TH900 mids are not recessed but cold.
