Agreed. I just re-read the review, having now owned these 'phones for much longer and become far more familiarised with them, and i only agree with every point raised in the review more than i did in my previous post. The slight closeness of the soundstage, the lack of weight to the mids and below, and the need for just a hint of warmth remain the only flaws i can find in this headphone, but i believe its strengths excel to such a degree that its worth tweaking whatever else in the system i can to fill those gaps, rather than looking into other headphone options.
A fast SS amp with a hint of warmth i found mates perfectly with these, and provides that little touch of euphony while not constraining speed or detail. As far as the soundstaging and midrange weight, i'm looking into different IC's and a recable to provide that. If i can succeed there, this'll be one happy SA5K customer
