If you have Mark do the mod it is about $150, if you do the mod yourself it can be done for under $25. It looks like the pads were installed incorrectly, easy to fix. Good luck.

Currently listening to my modded D5000 and loving it.

I don't plan to mod mine.

However, I'm always happy when another is enjoying their phones so cheers.

KCT,

..... If you can't rotate those pads to better fit your ears, then it's surely a dud! I haven't read about any D5000 fakes and therefore can't comment on them.

Your listening history may well heavily contribute to your impressions of the D5000's.

As to the Markl mods, I'm sure they make a difference, but am not so sure about it being necessarily better. If I'm happy as they are now, then that's all that counts, and indeed I am. The D5000 and the HD650's make for a nice pair to have. Their approach is different and I now use them interchangeably as needed.

Yeah... I'll be trying a pair of Grados shortly.

Electric? ... would you describe?

they just sparkle and have a zap with electric guitars, and their soundstage is very forward, a rock can for sure, or live jazz
