Headphoneus Supremus

I've used the Silver Dragon, Zu (both loaned) and Headphile V2 Silver in my system. Currently, I'm waiting for a custom cable made from an interconnect. But I think that albeit more transparent most people would still regard the HD 600/650 as veiled. In any case, I like the Hd 650 as it is and I'm not wishing for more treble; just a bit more transparency and speed perhaps. My ideal headphone would be a kind of sound hybrid between the AKg K1000 and HD 650.
As has been pointed out before, one way to lessen the "veil" is by removing the sponge, which will shift the frequency response somewhat towards the treble but as side effects you get a slightly harsher treble and less bass. Maybe using a kind of cloth with less natural impedance than the sponge but more than nothing at all would be worth experimenting with.
