called Denon they are replacing my headphones only problem is they have no stock so waiting game continues
Maybe they'll upgrade you to the 7100 ... poor person.
Hope they come home soon.

Someone say "Cello?" "D7000??" Just enjoyed Janos Starker yet again, Sunday night with my Zeus re-cabled D7000's. I feel really bad about our fellow member's experience.
The whole saga is getting weirder and weirder with the deleted thread. That vendor is an A-list sponsor/vendor. For them to post about a discontinued item, the replacement model numbers, the presumed release schedule, and inform that their seemingly endless backorders will probably not be fulfilled, and then to have that thread deleted, and summarily ignored by all other vendors, modders, etc, after a year of silence from Denon combines for a very weird situation.
No doubt other dealers/modders/vendors and maybe Denon itself was upset about the leaked announcement before they've unloaded their current inventory at full price and probably asked the mods to remove the thread. On the other hand, any customer who wants to order said backordered headphones from said vendor, will be told they are discontinued by Denon, and will probably post about it here. And they're a very popular vendor...
It makes me almost wonder if Denon wrongly told them they're discontinuing while Denon is still trying to sort out if they are indeed discontinuing or not. Maybe some crazy contract disputes with Foster or something. Typical Japanese silence....if you're used to dealing with Japanese companies you get used to this sort of mystery "you don't need to know" mentality. On the flip side my favorite thing about Japanese companies is their obsession with fixing every little flaw in a product and telling no one. One day they just fix things people didn't like, spend a fortune on doing so, and forever insist they didn't touch a thing!
I'm wondering if they're getting afraid to formally pull the plug on the Dx000 line fearing backlash on the new ugly ones? Or if they're just buying time for dealers to unload inventory.

What difference recabling made? Who did it?

More than likely none, but many around here believe it makes a world of difference. In my experience about the only thing Ive tried so far that made a world of difference was different headphones and even that difference can vary.
Lovely! Starker brings so much energy to the instrument.
I posted this recommendation in the DX100 thread but it belongs here.
"I've been breaking in the D7K's using the DX and this:
The resonance and full body of the strings sounds sinfully good ....

My Audio Dealer, Robert of Aphrodite Cu29. I bought them re-cabled to order, as opposed to sending them in. Therefore, I've never known their signature in stock form. Nor have I been curious.What I can do and have been asked to do recently, is hear the stock version in my system to compare. Even this exercise will lack accuracy since: a) not likely two headphones/drivers will be alike b) hours/play time & frequency of use matters as well.
Yes, I'm one who believes in the concepts of burn-in, play-in and degradation of materials. Anyway, I wanted both a somewhat thicker gauge and separate cables (4 conductors) from cup to adapter. No ground sharing or Y-connectors. Theoretically, lower cross-talk, increased stereo imaging and decreased resistance.
