At one point in Sunday's proceedings, Jack Wu asked if there were a pair of Leatherheads in the house as he had never heard them, and would love to do so from his amps. I set about searching for a pair, asked you if you had seen any, at which point you pointed me to Purk's box with a "Purk sent his down, the box is over there."

I snagged the box, took it over to Jack, and said "Here you go, man, your wish is our command." I then went on to other things, feeling quite smug in pulling that off so easily. About two hours later, I checked back with Jack to see if the L3000s were all that. Only at that point did I learn that brother Purk had sent us the lovely nikongod modded D5000s. I apologized to Jack for being misinformed, blamed the whole mess on you, and sheepishly walked away.

Oh, how were the modded D5000s? Excellent from the new Wu two box 6. Far better than I remember my stock pair being ... bass more controlled and proportional to other freqs, sweet, sweet mids, and no loss of sparkle up top. I still have issues with build quality, but handled gently, they can make many happy.

Well...why would I sent the L3000 when you have them Gene? Anyway, I hope you guy get a chance to spend more time with the Nikongod D5000. Beside the recessed midrange and abeit cold presentation, I think it is a better headphone than the stock D5000. Is it as good as the R10, nope. Hope you guy didn't ship it back as of yet, b/c I want you guys to spend more time with it.
