Dear head-fiers,
I am looking forward to buy some DB! I have gone through many posts concerning those cans. I am owning the stock 770 pro 80 ohm model and I love them. I have tried many headphones from all the major brands available and the one the closest to my taste is the sound from Beyer. Now I have a few questions, I know Larry is extremely busy and I prefer to ask you Darth's users first!
I am a total
that would like to upgrade his cans to reach a new level of musical pleasure! :P
I really like extremely brutal death metal with lots of punchy drums, I am thinking of: Kataklysm, Decapitated, Krisiun, Amon Amarth, Bloodbath, Six Feet Under and so on! I also really appreciate electronic music bands such as: Dawn of Ashes, Suicide Commando, Infected Mushroom, Agonoize, Infekktion and many others as well! I am a really open-minded music lover, I pretty much find something good about every music genre but those mentioned are the ones that are catching my interest at the moment and I won't name them all because this could be long and boring! :P
That being said, I would say generally I like my music to be on the darker and warmer side. I would say I am more copper than silver I guess? Now I am looking at the re-cabling options and I am a bit lost.
Being on a budget (Well around 400$ sounds like the maximum to me! :P). Going with with a BlackCopper re-cabling sounds like the way to go or I am missing the boat? Coming from the stock 770 pro 80ohm which I own and love really much is it going to add some bass quality and/or quantity? Would you guys say that just the BlackSilver re-cable is making a good improvement over the stock one and the performance upgrade over the other cable is not worth the extra money? I know that this whole cable subject is really relative and this depends of my source and inter-connect also! Over time I am willing to upgrade the rest!
And lastly I know that only a few will probably be able to answer me if not only one (*AHEM* SKYLAB *AHEM* :P) I am wondering if the wood used for modifying the headphones cups will actually make a noticeable difference in term of sound? I do know it is a really relative question and I am pretty much the only one that could tell.. but still any input would be great!
By the way I am a "noobie" and please forgive my spelling mistakes!
Thank you very much,
Charles

It's a shame the grado sound stage is so narrow though, I'm a big gamer as well and the beyers are untouchable for that. Switching is a pain.
