Z-Review on T-X0, ouch! https://youtu.be/cSU7fEOU-LQ
The review kind of make me wants to send my headphones to Mod House to get the Argon mod. Anyone done that and if so what's your thought on it comparing with stock?

beyonddcYeah, I saw Z's review earlier and can relate a little to his first impressions. I've had the T-X0's for a few months and I noticed a less sparkly and sort of muffled sound at first but over time they seem to be getting better. I do drive these with a Fostex DAC-amp outputting to a Little Dot hybrid tube amp. These do require more power than my other headphones. Even my Beyerdynamic (80 ohm) 770 Pros are not requiring me to dial up as much as the T-X0's. I like the somewhat darker tones my T-X0's produce. These are my only planars and I would like to compare with another like a HiFiMan or Monoprice version. Audeze is just too crazy high in price. The Mod House conversion to the Argon looks like a good deal. I think I'll give itsome more time and maybe try minor DIY mods.

G8torI feel the same way about the T-X0's, comes across as "Very" dark sounding, the tune is a little to safe in the treble department and the bass sounds very tame. Lot's of potential though as these don't get the head time from my other headphones. Can be a great chillout headphone but there needs to be more bass, also the mid's can sound amazing but all too often sound far too distant. Guitars just don't have that bite with this tune and vocals far too distant.
I really didn't want to mod these as I just wanted my T50rp set and forget but...
