Hi Mark,
Any D2000 Cup will fit a D5000, correct?

Anyone know how to re-size the thread? Somehow, after my last post, it got re-sized, now the text drifts off the page to the right...

Les, the D2000 is physically different from the D5000 and D7000. The cups have to made differently for the D2000 and will not fit the other two. We make cups for all the phones and have sheoak cups for the D5000/D7000 as well.

I think it happens when you use pics bigger than the 600x600 the photo that the head-fi album uses, even if the pics don't go past the edge of the page.

The thread resizes to accommodate the picture size.

Thanx for the info about the cups.

cups arrived today marvelous work mark I love them!!!!. pass on my compliments to the craftsman. they sound as beautiful as they look too.
nice man!!

On the subject of this sort of thing, I was wondering if I could ask one thing about those custom cups for the D2000 (or well, either it or the D5000 really.) I know they affect the tonality of it (and in favorable ways in the case of the switch from plastic to good wood.) I wonder if they have a strong effect on the highs and lows though?

One thing I'm thinking about after reading a bit more by way of reviews. It seems that at least one person has said that the harsher highs and slightly more recessed mids was a symptom of the mod. Of course, without it the bass does go a bit too far IMO. I'm wondering if it might work best for me just to get an unmodified medium density (as in medium medium, not just barely below high density classification or anything like that) -- that this might get a bit of the best of both worlds?

Cups are Made In Ozz, as you probably know.

Nazo, the stock D5000 is the one with the recessed mids. The bass overwhelms the midrange and muddies it up. By tightening the bass with the mods, the mids are allowed to bloom and come forward.

 

[Nazo]

Hmm. The mids still seem a tad recessed I thought. But these are the most even headphones I've ever used, so maybe I'm just used to a bit more in that range. Anyway, I'm kind of planning on getting new wooden cups soon from Lawton Audio since I'll get my W2 in the not so far off future (or at least being added to the waiting list, lol,) but I'm trying to decide what would be best for me. Bearing in mind that I listen to a lot of music with female artists and the mids seem to be key more than anything else, would a medium density be best, should I go for something else, or does it even make any difference in this particular respect? Also, if any make any difference on the highs, I'm still finding them to be a just a little bit harsh (though recabling with a Mogami cable has helped me in this respect and later I can try to go to something better there as well) and if the cups can make any difference in this respect I'd like to know. I'm willing to wait longer for something better if need be since obviously you don't have many choices atm. (Also, I don't care what the wood looks like. If it looks like someone vomited on it even I'll take it if it sounds great, lol. It would be kind of neat to have a nice wood look to the headphones, but definitely low on the priority list.)

 

[markl]

Nazo, bubinga might be a reasonable choice. When you are ready, I can ask you some more questions about your listening preferences and we can figure out what wood to use from there. Cheers.

 

[Nazo]

Ok, thanks. I'll keep that in mind and contact you more directly when that W2 comes in. Just out of curiosity, how long do you think it might be before you get more of those other woods btw?
