Rather lean, wow, people certainly hear things differently, I have them up in the loft, not a great set, plastic creaks and harsh tuning

Only so much time and only so many pairs of ears.

Can anyone recommend a good quiet (non-microphonic) replacement unbalanced cable for the Audioquest NightOwl?
The stock cable was never very good and mine is starting to fall apart (well, everything about my NightOwls is falling apart, but since they are still the best closed-back headphones I've ever heard, including ones that cost twice as much, I will keep using them until they truly don't work anymore).

Wooahhhh hold up.. I have banged on for months about how great they are.. one comment comparing them to msr7b and you're all keen.
I have a soft-spot for the MSR7B. Like me, they creak easily and have a lean profile.

I quite enjoyed them while I had them as well. Wish I could find the adult version with a little more presence downstairs.I have a soft-spot for the MSR7B. Like me, they creak easily and have a lean profile.
Adult version with a little more presence downstairs? Gosh, that makes me nostalgic for when I was on the dating scene.
(Sorry).
Yes - agree: a touch more warmth would be welcome on the MSR7B. Pad rolling will introduce a little hump down there (excuse me), but at the same time smear the clarity.
Yes, I agree - ATH AP2000Ti are a bit like the shiny big brother/uncle of the MSR7B. The AWKT/AWAS differed in their tuning, though in a pleasant way.

As long as they're not any brighter than the Msr7b, I'll look into them.
Been a while since I heard them, having sold them to @dadracer2, but from recollection they're more linear - very natural sounding. I never found them bright myself, but then I'm highly tolerant of Audio-Technica's (and Beyerdynamic's) brighter tunings. I do remember them being supremely comfortable.
