    MrSpeakers Ether CX - $899 from Massdrop

    Were these the 100mm pads that you got, or a different size? Thinking about trying out a set of these.

    MrSpeakers Ether CX - $899 from Massdrop

    Can confirm: definitely better than the Denon D7200's

    Denon AH-7200

    Maybe try and reach out to Denon directly? They might sell the driver. This reminds me ... I need to contact Audio Technica for a replacement driver for my AD2000.

    5-year Re-Review: Audio-Technica ATH-AD2000

    I wholeheartedly agree. I bought my AD2000's because of this review back in 2011, and they remain one of my absolute favorite headphones to this day. Sadly, I think I blew one of the drivers, so I'll probably try to order a new new one from Audio Technica soon, but I don't see myself ever...

    Thoughts on Ether CX vs LCD-XC vs ÆON Noire?

    So I’ve recently parted ways with my XC and have been interested in replacing it with another closed back with a somewhat similar sound profile - mainly in that I want the detail and clarity that the XC provides. I’ve been curious about buying the Ether CX, especially now that it’s on sale for...

    MrSpeakers Ether CX - $899 from Massdrop

    Thanks for that response! I’m starting to think I should have held on to my XC. I’m still considering the CX, and at $699, it’s not a bad deal. Do you find the CX to be too analytical? The detail on the XC was nice, and I'm hoping for something on that level at the least. Have you used any...

    MrSpeakers Ether CX - $899 from Massdrop

    Has anyone in this thread used the CX for mixing/mastering purposes? If so, how do you like them for that purpose? Would love to hear your thoughts. Additionally, do any of you own both the CX and LCD-XC? If so, how do they compare? I've recently sold my XC, and thinking the CX might be a...

    Denon AH-7200

    The 7200’s are far from the worst headphones I’ve heard. They sit somewhere in the upper middle range of my collection. If you’re considering the WP900, I would also recommend the W1000. Not sure if they’re still made or not, but those cans are what got me into the hifi headphone world. My old...

    Denon AH-7200

    Not to add a few more options to your list, but as an electronic music fan myself, I prefer my ATH-AD2000 and LCD-3 to my Denon 7200. The Denon does have harder hitting bass, but clarity, detail and depth belong to the Audio Technica and Audeze. When I was first getting into hi-fi headphones...

    Denon AH-7200

    If anyone was curious, I just tried this out. Took me a minute to get everything in (and holidays), but it was fun to do and worth the time/expense. I find that I like the sound signature a bit more tuned to my taste now, mainly in that the bass isn't as "messy" for me. Not that it was Meze 99...

    I've been curious about this myself. Did you (or anyone else) find any options?

    I’m selling my unused iFi Hip-DAC 2, which is still in the box and in excellent condition. I purchased it for an extended trip which ended up being canceled, so it's in mint condition. I've only taken it out of the box to test it, so it's got less than 1 hour of use. I’m also throwing in an...

    JM Audio Edition XTC Closed

    Yes, I definitely know what I'm looking for in my XC replacement. Thank you for this bit of info; this is quite helpful in helping me make a decision, actually. Time for me to clean up my XC for the classifieds.

    JM Audio Edition XTC Closed

    I have the Denon D7200 (which has a biodynamic driver, yes? sorry, I'm a bit unfamiliar), but I can't say I love it them. I'm currently waiting on some wires to come in so I can do some simple mods to them. For reference though, as far as the stock model is concerned, I wouldn't put them in the...

    JM Audio Edition XTC Closed

    Has anyone tried these JM Audio headphones out? They seem quite promising, but I haven't seen any reviews about them anywhere. I'm thinking about getting rid of my LCD-XC Maples and maybe making a move to these (yes, I know they look similar), but I'd like to make an informed decision. It would...

    Denon AH-7200

    Yeah the pricing on the tape seems fair. Wondering if they sell smaller quantities, since I doubt I'll need that much. Or do you know of any other alternative options? If not, I suppose I could eventually find some other uses for the excess. Also, where did you get your speaker wire from? Any...

    Aphex Twin? Now you've got my attention! I'll def check out your settings. Thank you!

    Recommended Best Practices to Trade

    Yeah, I think I checked all those from the first person I ever bought HP's from on here, but that was a decade ago. I still have those cans, and love them (ATH-AD2000's) to this day. I'll definitely take as many precautions as possible. Bummer I never built my own seller/trader history on here...

    Denon AH-7200

    I'm slowly leaning towards 5, but willing to try a few of the suggested mods first. I haven't bothered with them for around 5 or 6 months, so maybe I'll have a different opinion after trying my EQ on them first.

    Denon AH-7200

    Wow, this is all quite insightful. I'll take a look at eared replacement. I can't sew to save my life, so that option is out for me. The pure silver wire could also be an option, albeit a pricey one. Any recommendations on brands?

    Denon AH-7200

    Thank you. That messiness is exactly what annoys me about the 7200's. I'll check out both of those posts!

    For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?

    Very cool! I have yet to listen to this one, but waiting for the vinyl release to ship next week. I'm sure it's just as good as the previous 3 he released in the past year or so. Enjoy!

    Recommended Best Practices to Trade

    Thanks! This is very helpful. I was thinking that putting up full value in PayPal would be a good idea, but wasn't sure if that was common practice or not. I love the idea about the video as well. That makes perfect sense. I suppose I could attempt to do a video of the boxing process as well...

    Recommended Best Practices to Trade

    Hi there! I've been thinking about posting up a pair of Audeze's I have to either sell or trade. I've never done a trade here (or anywhere online, really), so I'm wondering if any of you with experience in the matter might have some best practices that you'd like to share. I'm having a hard...

    Denon AH-7200

    Apologies if this question has been answered already, but this thread obviously seemed like the right place to ask: Is there anyone who does modifications for the 7200? I know Lawton offers mod kits for the 2000/5000/7000, but I didn't find anything for the 7200. I've owned my pair for around 10...
