Yeah Tyll, thanks for MAKING me spend my money. I'm loving my Maxxed Desktop. Thanks for building great products. The Denon D2000's are incredible. The combo is great and now I don't have to bother the other developers I am working with.

two words - sheep + goats. tyll you da man buddy. hopefully i get a little more time to hang out and talk with you at the next meet. but the little time that i spent with you hearing stories about sheep and goats was probably the most memorable at canjam.

also thanks again for letting me borrow those balanced 650s at the meet.

and highlife already mentioned it but your crew was great to talk to. made me feel very welcome and comfortable and answered all my stupid questions

hope to see you again rather soon.

Doood, I already shipped one off to you! Free, no charge baby. I look for the tracking number. I should be able to get it and let you knoe the status of your delivery in, say, two weeks.

(Would one of you Florida guys go over to his house next week and snap a picture of his quivering, near-corpse for me? Just wanna see that.)

Really, Dom, it'll be there shortly.

considering im down the street from him, i wouldnt mind taking a picture or two. but then who will take my picture after one of my kidneys is gone?

on a side note, how many kidneys you got dom? maybe an extra one for me too? wouldnt mind getting a max shipped to my humble abode either

the max was a real treat to listen to tyll. especially some metallica on those balanced 650s. to anyone who missed canjam for whatever reason and missed this amp - you are a blithering idiot.

Had a great time with you, HighLife.

Still hunting down that tracking number.

I like them a lot, but they aren't quite my cup of tea. I like things a little layed back. Mike (our Service Manager) switched from his K701s and says he prefers the 2000 over the 5000. I see what he's saying, too, they are a really terrific headphone, and have an immaculately articulate presentation.

What I'm really surprised about is how strong Denon's whole line is; they pretty much have the #1 or 2 position in sealed headphones at virtually every price point in my opinion. I could kick myself for not having pursued them sooner.

Lots of people said they liked the 2000 over the 5000. For me to truly say it was better, i swapped them over to a few different amps. On a mini amp the 2000 sounded better hands down. The bass was just a tad bloated at times, though it was pushed well through the mini amp. I listened to the 5000s in the same setup. I think the DAC was different. However the 5000s sounded dead compared to the 2000s. The bass impact was not there at all, almost flat. Sure there was PLENTY of detail, however bass is the backbone of music...can really make or break a good headphone.

However, things changed when we swapped amps. The desktop series (Great fuggin amp btw Tyll) woke up the 5000s bass problems. It was full, alive...a light thump, plus that same wonderful detail from before. Boom boom boom, we have a winning combo there.

SO its my thought that the 2000s perform better on a moderate system. The 5000s seem to shine on the higher end system.

BTW, i asked if you had the 5000s balanced for the Maxx, but NOOOOOOOOOO....

Also, where is my tracking number....i bought a whole quart of Astro-Glide and some candles for the unwrapping.

Just wanted to get my own thanks in here to all Head-Fiers who made it to the Ft.Lauderdale show, to the amazing tireless organizers of the meet, and to HighLife for an especially warm welcome. One of the many pleasures of this allegedly "solitary" hobby of ours is the great comradery we share at these events... I couldn't imagine a more fun job to have. THANKS, guys! [...you too, Tyll!]

Cheers,

Thanks to you, BrainSalad, for your kind support (AND also for the "local-guy" tips for my Utah/AZ backpacking trip next week!!)

Cheers!
