Signed.  Loved Purrin's Jades!

Quote: I prefer the NAD, but I still like the DP-1 for its DAC.  Thanks Purrin!   Purrin's descriptions and comparison between the two DACs is spot on and Anaxalus's last comment about DP-1 is too.  I've paired it with my Yamamoto HA-02 and W3000ANV for my bedroom rig.  It's quite...

A big thank you and props to purrin, n3rdling, LFF, Anaxilus, Teufelshunde, Ultrabike, Questhate, itshot, MisterRogers, and everyone else who helped out with the meet.  This was my first meet and I found the quantity and quality of gear to be overwhelming.  The setup worked out really well; it...

Great, thanks!

Sorry, haven't checked this thread in a while; I had been pm-ing with n3rdling and he has my equipment listed, but I guess I was overlooked for table space because I didn't post it.  I'm bringing:   Yamamoto HA-02 April Music Eximus DP-1 Fostex HP-P1 Pure I-20 (not on the list, but...

My cups do not swivel evenly either, but they fit me all right.

I recently purchased an Eximus DP-1 and before that, a fostex HP-P1.  Both were smooth transactions.  Drew always responds quickly to any questions that I have; he's a pleasure to deal with.

I plan to attend.

I didn't think the bass was heavy then or now.  In fact, for me, it could use just a wee bit more.  It's just that it sounded loose/boomy to me when I first got them.      edit: Looked at the Describing Sound glossary.  I shouldn't have said "boomy" because, I don't know what bass at 125...

Quote: I thought the bass sounded a bit boomy at first, but within the first day it tightened up nicely.  

Quote: I like it, but I don't have much for comparison.  I have a Fostex HP-P1, the HA-02, and the Zana Deux.  I have the HA-02 for my bedside rig and am happy with that, but I was curious about the Zana Deux and after digging around and reading more about it I got one.  To me the HA-02...

I think they're worth it.  Don't look back; just enjoy them.   I got hold of an older Zana Deux and I'm loving W3000ANV with it.  I'm going to use Yamamoto HA-02 for the bedside rig.    

Yes, in the beginning, mine seemed to spring back a bit, so I increased the pressure that I used to bend it a little at a time until it would hold the new shape.

Interested!

If you can get the tension in the band right it will work with that slight tension that is in the wings to make a snug, comfortable fit.  The cups are angled a bit like a "V" even when you put them on.  I presume it's to follow the shape of the head.  I don't think my head is large, but I have a...

Ah, adding a dash of color to liven up the look.  Does it glow in the dark too? 

I bent mine a little at a time and not just in one spot, so you can't see any bends if that's what you're worried about.  If there are any bends or kinks, the soft plastic tubing masks it.

Well, like you said, they're highly configurable.  It took a while to get the right fit, but they're very comfortable now.  There was no way I was going to give up on them when they sound this good.      

No, not from the middle, it got too loose on top that way.  That was weird because it would slide down and feel like it was trying to pinch my head off at the neck.

Yes, from about an inch or two above where the band connects to the pieces above the cups.  It took a while and I overdid it a bit at one point, but it bent back to a good position no problem.

Mine clamped on my head like a vise, especially at the bottom.  I played around gently with the band, a little at a time, until I got a comfortable fit.   Mine are #206, but I'd pay extra for 1701!

Quote: Ah, maybe I should stick to ZD.  I like simple... for now.  Thanks!

Hey there everyone.  I've been lurking and learning which has led to my pairing and enjoying W3000ANV with Yamamoto.  Thank you all for sharing your experiences.   I was thinking about getting Zana Deux, but saw the Equilibrato in the for sale section.  It's more versatile and supposed to...
