Thanks for the story and advices ... This will be useful for all .... I already damp mine and isolate them and i modify the port hole design ... I modify my headphones too ... Damping against vibrations is important ... I also used my own homem... 
How Much Do tonal colorations matter?
Acoustics is not subjective taste matter ... 😊 The design of my AKG K240 and K340 is unique ... I dont need convolution filters of any kind especially with the K340... I need BACCH filters ... And there is no YMMV disclaimer with the BACCH filte... 
How Much Do tonal colorations matter?
I dislike all headphone soundfield , i owned 9 ... It stay in the head , worst, the timbre perception is artificial ... The only headphone which i can tolerate is the AKG K340 and way less performant is the K240 sextett but the two produce a natu...

Jazz for aficionados
I just finisher to listening to many albums of Manu Katché a drummer ... The musicians who he attracted are very good ... None of these 8 albums were bad... I pick only jazz albums .... Katché make other collaborations in many genres ... We oft... 
Female vocals
In reality, the best way, at least for me to tell a good speaker from a bad one is to listen to a well recorded piano. It's very difficult to duplicate a piano and make it sound live.  If a speaker can do that and fool you, then they've got somet... 
What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'?
Musical means it sounds right. Isn’t it obvious ? Musical means acoustically right ...Because here we speak about sounds not about music per se ... Something can be musically right , as the Furtwangler interpretation of the Bruckner symphony u...
