    Just patiently waiting for my black Jot to come in so that I can do some more listening before I proceed to post more details. Crack is a bit unfair because it's not highlighting some flaws. I want this to be the ultimate guide for all HD6xx headphones.

    Yeah I can see the crack hiding flaws in the higher and lower frequencies.
    I don't really mean to rush you. I'm really liking how my current setup sounds but I could use a little less of the HD650 midbass, so I figured even without any mods the HD580 might be a good compliment to the 650

    It is. Congratulations. You finally got the grandpappy of it all. :)

    Honestly, if you like stock HD6xx sound, just swap the grills on 580 and live happily ever after. The mod won't really change much other than nudging it ever so closer to measuring flat, but subjectively, it shouldn't sound that much different.

    How does the grill swap impact the sound? I'm assuming less resonance since the grill is not plastic and is more open

    Yeah, overally, it just makes things a bit less peaky. Nothing drastic. I'd say it's more for looks than anything unless your upstream is particularly peaky.
