Lol, thanks Scottder, compliments on my work always make my day

Flecom the DT990s improved about as much as my DT880s did, it added a bit more extension in the treble and a slighty more coherent midrange. Certainly worth the price of admission.

Nice HD600 mod. Makes me want to do mine.

Highflying9 How good are the Neutrik Prof connectors? I'm contemplating buying thoes from a local store or importing a set of WBTs from THLAudio.

Definetely improved the sound, it's clearer and more detailed. It opened up the sound a bit. It didn't give more bass/treble or anything, but it did add a bit more 'life' to the sound (hope that makes sense, I'm still new to audiophile lingo ).

Considering many feel the 555/595 are so close in sound, the upgraded cable may have made this into a mini-595!

The ProFis are very solid and easy to use, as far as sonic improvements the only RCA I've ever found to make a difference is the Eichmann bullet plugs, although I haven't tried WBTs yet. I made the ProFi interconnects to plug into a sub $200 amp so they don't have to be reference quality.
