   Difficult not to fall into arrogance trap when what seems like everyone starts pissing on your baby. Tough to understand and even less so agree if never had one.
   Ignoring and hiding is never a way for a Bear and the end is predictable: crushed sculls on one side and dead Bear on the other.

Looking back through this thread, I don't see much pissing on the headphones though? That's actually pretty rare for these forums.

The flaming seems to all be about your online persona. It's a matter of forum culture: people here are less interested in hearing stories of your childhood and philosophy of the golden ratio. It's considered "noise" here. Personally speaking I think that kind of stuff is interesting, and I think it would be better received on head-fi: I would enjoy reading about your history there.

I actually think that stuff is interesting, too. The thread about your headphones was probably not the right place for it :)


Edit: also, aren't you the guy who said Marv's speakers weren't that great and thought everything else you've heard?


If you want more opinions on your gear, we're having a mini meet in the SF Bay Area and your cans could be compared side by side with quite a few flagships:
  • Enigma
  • Code-X
  • Paradox Slant
  • HP1000
  • Abyss
  • modded HD800
  • LCD-3F
  • HE-6
  • HE-560
If you're certain about the value proposition at $1400, you should feel comfortable with your cans being compared by a wide range of folks against these other models.

Lol, you should be the one to talk about pissing on other headphones. First you apply some PEQ to the K701 and champion it as the HD800 and Stax 009 destroyer. Now it's the modded PM2 which is the destroyer of all flagships. Everything you touch is the destroyer of ALL and you can't take a little criticism? You must be kidding. Russian Bear?? Lol, you strike me more as a Laika:

He never made it back from his mission btw. Woof! Woof!

   First sign of arrogance I detect in post #40 but according to you 39 posts before it were all just cookies and cream.
   Not trying to pick another fight but I seemed to control myself well enough for quite a while.

Eventually people were just baiting the bear, especially all the complaints about pricing.

This is when one has to remain stoic, like Conan.

Are you interested in a pair being on demo at the SF Bay mini meet (recommended in post #92)? You would get a lot of people comparing your headphones purely on merit against other flagships if you are interested.

   You know better then most it wasn't just PEQ applied to those 701s. I stated publicly many times that proper FR for me personally is the most essential part of the overall sound quality in both headphones and loudspeakers (you should also know I DSPd speakers professionally for many years).
   I specifically demoed those AKGs against both 009s and 800s from the same source at several meets because honestly believe they can compete and to many even come out on top. To me personally they were a clear winner and was never a secret.
   Moreover I honestly believe many audiophiles value different things in sound quality simply because it's difficult to experience proper FR with anything except for life concerts but even those become less and less so while being EQd and amplified all over the place. How you can put this personal opinion of mine against what everyone else values in sound quality is beyond me though. When and where did I publicly proclaim that any of my sets are best of the best and the absolute truth in audio? 
   My PM-2 measured three times better then most anything else on MY OWN RIG and so what, do you suggest I should just hide it? If you think different then measure it yourself compare and then judge, I won't mind.   
   As for me not being able to take a little critique you are wrong again:
   1) per comments from Hans trim materials were changed from carbon fiber to a hologram obtaining a cleaner, more polished look (even though I started working on those changes well before he first saw my set his opinion mattered a lot because there was no consensus from people I know as to which way to go).
   2) per multiple comments logo was changed slightly but suppose in a good and acceptable way ;-)
   3) LF boost was added per comments from Hans even though work on that last mod has started a while ago and I was just debating to put it in production or not Hans definitely gave me that last push that I could make it (see FR graphs posted earlier)
   4) Decided to include a good quality 6.35 Stereo to XLR adapter to increase the overall value.
   
   Funny and sad how you mentioned Laika, she (not a male dog as you say) underwent incredible training, was selected for a mission to cosmos and She Has Been There. This makes her an astronaut but what does this make you, those who make fun of the first astronauts?
   Either way, I feel your latest comments are becoming less and less sensible while being more and more personally insulting at the same time. Not sure how you can't see it yourself but sorry no one is telling you.

  Didn't ignore your previous post zero, what is the date? All my units are out for testing but I should have one after the SoCal meet this week where we will be putting it against SR-009, LCD-3f, ESP-950 and HD-800. All of those were purchased, 009 borrowed by me personally for one particular reason: to demo along and possibly destroy the Audio Zenith PMx2 (the destroyer per Anax ;-). I will try to either come to your meet if allowed or will ship it to you if there is enough time.
   Either way will do my best .
