These are scary in their resemblance to the dx100 line!!! Cheers,

  Quote:   Fact is though, the deals are constantly changing. People are complaining that the SAME company (EE *cough*) has a deal on the SAME headphones (*Cough* Denon! *Cough*), even though the deal has changed (pricing, etc.) For instance, about a month ago the price for a D5000 was...

  Quote:   Which isn't what Intended, although I can see how you would construe it as such. The initial response was only to point out that the design appears to not have originated in Europe or Asia, as many would believe (can't confirm obviously), and to me that is surprising. I am...

  Quote:   Care to explain? I am not sure I understand what you're getting at. Apologies if I came off strongly, the software engineer in me tends to capitalize conjunctions.   EDIT: Think I understand now. Not sure it's fair to equate my response to that of someone earlier who...

  Quote: Rumor is that these phones were NOT designed by Japanese. They were designed by an American(!!!) team. Makes a helluva lot more sense to me.   Cheers,  

Hello All,       I am posting here hoping someone can help me out. Google hasn't been of much use so I'd figure why not ask the community at large? I'm looking for a Hi-Fi store in the Twin Cities area, Minne-So-Tah! Especially a store that carries a diverse array of headphones. Thanks so...

  Quote:   Mal,         I find your responses very interesting. As someone who is looking at getting either the HE-400 or HE-500 as their next headphone purchase, and coming from someone who also really loves the D5000 sound signature, which would you recommend getting? I will...

  Quote:   I suppose you're right, I guess we'll just have to wait and see!   Cheers,  

  Quote:   This is about demand. Unless the hype fades extremely quickly from these boards (which I seriously doubt since there are so few woodies out there with the AH-Dx000 line), then I stand by the fact that the D5000/7000 will be much more expensive for a while than it has been. I...

  Quote:   I guarantee you that AH-Dx000's will go up in price significantly now. In fact, I suspect that within a year D7000s will be selling for above MSRP in a year for Mint condition or better. Of course I don't have any knowledge and it's totally speculative. But based on the...

The D7000s are not outside of your budget anymore. Quoted from the Deals Thread:     Quote:   Cheers,

According to sellers, Denon has decided NOT to axe the 2000 7000. Only the 2000 and 5000 / 7000.   EDIT: Oh well, sorry for the false alarm.   Cheers,

  Quote:   Just make sure you don't go through the RA process.... My replacement D5000s took 4 weeks from time of approval to receipt of replacement...   Cheers,

  Quote:   Speculation it seems, but then again, I don't read Japanese and neither does Google Translator.   Quote:   AMD has OEMs (Asus et al.) What you're saying would make sense, but Denon hasn't announced (officially) any such new product, and thus there is no motivation...

  Quote:   This makes no sense to me at least. If Denon was killing them off, they would have released new products already unless they plan on exiting the luxury headphone business altogether. It's like AMD stopped making 6xxx video cards right around time of release for the 7xxx...

Have the winners been selected? Nothing in the OP suggests they have thus far.   Cheers,

Quote: I have been having a heck of a time with EE's RA process...Been 2 business weeks since I shipped a defective D5000 to them and they still haven't notified me if the RA was processed successfully and a new item was shipped. I have had to contact them to get updates every step of the...

Quote: Pretty much all the testing I've seen validates your conclusions. I had to send my Schiit products back because they were defective so I just took the refund. Now I am looking for a V90 to fill the gap and pick up an ODA when JDS offers pre-orders of the assembled version.  ...

Quote: Hmm, just like that other place, significant markup. Alright thanks.   Cheers,

Quote: Top Of The Line   Cheers,

Hello All,         Anyone stateside order Violectric products directly from the manufacturer in Germany? I can't seem to figure out who the US distributor is. Google didn't seem to be much of help, only found one store which marked up the products by over $100. (Rediculous)   Cheers,

Quote: From what you've told us, yes. And it's against Amazons' terms to sell fakes as a third party.   Cheers,

Quote: For me on the green it was $160. Not sure what happened there. Maybe send an email to them?   Cheers,
