Spoiler: Youtube Vid

It seem Stax got the same idea, just a few months late. L700mk2 has been anounced with Aluminium baffles and, you guessed it, detachable cables!: (I love y'all but don't trust you just yet with my faceImgur Album: https://imgur.com/a/xLYjjjq Why? Because I travel for work and school every few months. Also, because I can.Inspired by the infamous video, I decided to mod my L700 with a detachable cable.: 4-pin Hirose (MrSpeakers connectors)- I like that they're orientable; forces the cable to stay in a certain position without risk of twisting- They have a high DC voltage raing, as required for electrostaic headphone operation- Space inside the baffle is very tight; the jacks cannot be placed flush against the bottom of the cups without needing to move the driver position upwards (which i was not willing to do)- Since the jacks need to jut out of the cup, i'm currently using blue tack to stabalize them. The edges of the threads ARE clamped inside the cup, but not enough to be a solid hold on it's own.- I plan to 3D print black plastic supports in the same style as the cups and epoxy them to the jacks and the cup extreior for a more professional long term solution.- Made sure to protect the drivers during themoddind process. They are extremely sensitive to oils, dust, and ESD.- Resolution, imaging and soundstage all remain unchanged- Highs mainain Stax feel; mids have not changed at all and remain as per the L700 classic sound- Bass depth and volume has increased ever so slightly; this was expected and desired so add a little warmth to the sound (the connections and the connector add just a tad bit of capacitance to the cable giving this minutely audible but oh so welcome change)** SQ changes were tested by modding one side first and demoing left channel against right channel. I know my test tracks very *very* well, and also know my left/right ear imperfection imbalance very well. I've been coming to terms with it for a few years now. **I'm driving these with a modded SRM252s; I've upgraded most of the passive components in the power stage and it is audibly almost (so so closely) equivalent to an SRM323s. This statement comes from blind testing in an audio store with the store owner hot swapping between the 2 amps with my eyes closed.Cheers folks! Feel free to comment, ask, request anything (related) you'd like!I love modding shizzle; I'm down to take sane, well founded, productive requests!
