I really enjoyed the LCD2/3 and HE-6 from the Darkstar, you just can't max the volume and hope to have a headphone left.

Thanks for the recommendations on the portable version of the TH-900s.  I'll definitely be sure to check out the Sig Pros. :)

Plans are: I enjoy few months the TH-900 and then, may be I will send it to LAWTON Audio to have it modified into a LA900 (level 3 with tricks + new pad + new cups + balanced cable).

Why new cups?  The stock ones are very nice.

There was already one user having both cups - and he returned to the original one which were better for him. - was written in this thread.... Just read the 3114 previous comments ;-)
Sorry, do not know exactly, when he wrote it, about 1-2 weeks ago, maybe.

Whoa, that looks so interesting!

 

 

Btw, just don't ever think to pair TH900 with Darsktar, I've tried and it produce a lot of hiss.

Don't get new cups, they're a fair chunk of the price you paid.Lawton sells the cups and doesn't return them, I wonder what he'll charge for the TH900 cups on his site? I think he charges 35 bucks for the Denons.I'm waiting for opinions from those who get the "Lawton treatment" on the TH900 before I take the plunge, but there's no way he's getting my cups!

I'm actually surprised he doesn't offer a package that doesn't include new cups considering their value.It was an enhancement getting the new cups with my Denon, but not with these babies.

He does.  It's called "Level 1".

Actually, Mark Lawton posted in this thread a couple months ago to clear any misunderstanding for people like you. He won't keep your stock cups and sell them for profit, he will return them to you as they are.

Not sure if this has been said before; while his earcups do look great and are a nice upgrade looks wise over the D7000s, they are a drastic downgrade to the TH-900's earcups in that regard IMHO.
