I have not even changed the pads on my Ori.
From pretty much my first couple of weeks of listening I felt like Zach had these specially tuned for me

Right there with ya bro! I would not change a thing about my all time favorite headphone.

To clarify, I don't have any complaints about the tuning of my Omnis. Only when switching from one of my Audez'e LCD-2s do I hear that the high end is slightly recessed. I'd just like to see if I can tune them to be a little less rounded off without too much change to the rest of the sound.

How does the Omni compare to the LCD 2? Is your 2 a classic or the fazor version? Which one do you use more often and why? Thanks!

Without having to read this whole thread, has anyone experimented with some of ZMF Suede pad offerings with the Ori (Universe Suede, Hybrid, Ori Suede?)

If anyone is looking for an Ori, I have listed my pair for sale. I hate to do it, but need the funds for my "endgame setup".

Glad you ended up not selling yours. I've been through the same dilemma myself a few times with mine, and each time I couldn't manage to let them go. I honestly think that my Ori are the perfect compliment to my HD800S, and between these two pairs of headphones, I have no need of another set of full-sized cans.

I just listened to my Ori--with the same wood as Wes', ormosia henryi--and had the same 2 thoughts I always have when I hear the Ori (in this order):

1. DAMN the bass is good! (and)
2. I don't get why people don't praise the mids, treble, soundstage & dynamics of this HP as much as the bass. They all kill!

I was lucky found someone in Spain who sold me their Ori. Took close to month to receive them but very impressive headphone.

You are lucky!

Picking up a pair of these without cables included and need to be able to connect them to my Objective 2 amp (standard 3.5mm jack). Any suggestions on cables? Options seem pretty sparse. Don't need anything fancy, cheaper the better as long as it works fine!

ZMF sells stock cables for $60. Probably not going to get much cheaper than that.

What about the cheap $15 cables on Amazon?

The Ori is a high quality planar headphone. IMHO, don't mess w/cheap cables of unknown quality unless you have no choice.

ZMF offers an excellent OFC/copper cable that's quite reasonable. I've had a couple of these. They give you ~95% of what pricey aftermarket cables do (I have a few of those, too).

I've also had good luck w/Periapt cables. This is the one you're looking for:

Thanks, I know there's a lot of dispute whether cables make a sound quality difference. I am in the camp that they don't as long as they meet the minimum requirements; only issue is that most cheap cables that meet my requirement seem to be mostly used for mixer/speaker set-ups instead of headphones and don't have many reviews.
