Can I find somewhere the schematic of SRM-727II ?
I am trying to regulate my amp modified by previously owner .But I don't want to damage anything and  would love to look at the schematic.

I've heard from others that it should be some what between the both.  So I'm asking just incase someone has heard it recently.  There are many on here just just your opinion so I ask to get more than one opinion. 
 

Tyll Hertsens at Innerfidelity has measured both the 02mk1s and the 02mk2.5s I believe. See: http://www.innerfidelity.com/headphone-data-sheet-downloads
 
That should tell you everything you need to know.

Ya i asked him on youtube if he did the reading on the 2.5 but no answer  yet.  Im assuming hes on head-fi also though I'm not sure of his username. Ttyl perhaps?  I only see 2 readings wouldnt there be 3?  MKA, MK1, MK2.5?  Idk.  Its early here I just might be confusing myself.

Like I told you before the Z3 is the 2.5

Ok.  I looked at the frequency charts on both and I see a more mid bass in the z3.  But Im looking from my phone from the Drs office so Im most likely missing some info.  By more trebly are you saying there is less of the bass hump?

I'm pretty sure that its not a bass hump that makes a headphone bright. There are some inputs on this thread about them just search.

I read that one has a port and the other doesnt.

You might want to do a search for "Stax 4070" for plenty of information on these closed back electrostatics.

Thank you!

Ya I didn't say anything about the bass hump having anything to do with the treble.  I couldn't see the chart well enough but I did see that the frequency isn't much different.

After a few days of listening...I don't know if it's just me, but the SR-202 + SRM-212 sounds a bit...weird coming from the modified SR-Lambda + SRD-7/SB + receiver. It's like the sound is more..."sterile" or something, perhaps more "flat", but not so much in the frequency response sense. I can't quite find the word for it.
 
Is this a trait of the SR-202 itself, or does the sound signature change significantly with a better amp?

in this article the author mentions nothing about better amp sounding different, ie: more depth, better dynamics. sadly you'd need to a/b them with another stax owner. there must be someone here in Georgia or the southeastern US

I had a similar problem with SRM-313 and SR-303. Problem solved when I changed original powercords from amp and cd-player (Audio Aero Prima). UnfortunateIy I never tried to change powercord just from one machine at a time.

I've had the SR-202 only with SRN717 and the KGSS. They sounded faboulous from both of them. There wan't anything sterile with it to my ears. That's more like HD800 sound IME.
