    Replacement Pads and Band for Denon D2000?

    My pads and band have started flaking so I am looking to replace them. I know of the Lawton audio pads so I might buy those to replace, but I haven't heard of any type of replacement band for these headphones. Are there options out there other than from Denon since I don't want them to flake...

    Is there a magic price point you break before you get addicted to hi-fi?

    For me it was the $200 mark. 6 months ago I couldnt even imagine spending $100 on a pair of headphones and was perfectly contempt with my pair of A130's and HD201's. Now within that time I've gone through alot of headphones and amps. Heres what my journey started with and heres what I have now...

    My Review: Rockhopper CKKIII w/ D2000 and W1000

    I was in the market for a solid state amp when I noticed the Rockhopper CKKIII demo program over at Mall-fi. Stephen was nice enough to let me demo his CKKIII and here are my thoughts on the amp. My setup is as follows: AV710 Wolfson DAC -> CKKIII -> Headphones Headphones used: Modded...

    Good Desktop for low impedance headphones?

    Hi all. I've gotten rid of my amps in hopes of getting a better one but I'm not too sure which will synergize the best with my headphones. I do most of my listening out of my AV710 and from my D2000 and W1000, both of which are 30-40ohms. I've heard that tubes dont work very well with low...

    I've got Wood!!!

    Well, W1000 to be precise. These things are making my music sound so bad that I think I have to re-encode all of my cds, or get another amp. No more recessed vocals like in my D2000. Oh how I've missed the AT sound after selling my AD700's. Now that I have them can anyone recommend a good amp...

    Whats the startup time of an iaudio 7?

    I've seen videos of it and it seems like 4-5 seconds, which is much slower than the d2, which I'm also considering picking up. Supposedly the new firmware is suppose to help this but I havn't really heard people discuss startup time specifically.

    Just listened to my Little Dot II for the first time. Wow they're bright.

    I've been waiting for my rca->mini cable to arrive so this is the first time I'm listening to the amp. Compared to my head-six, which I've been listening to for the past month out of my AV710, this amp is definitely brighter and highs are no longer rolled off. Its much more forward too, which...

    What happened to Iriver? They use to have so many more DAP's.

    Back when I bought my x5 the main competition was the H320. Before that I remember the h120 being one of the best dap's around, with the only competition in sq being the rio karma. Now I that I'm looking around for a new player the only thing that interests me from iriver is their clix, which is...

    Going back to cheap earbuds/canalphones. Whats >mx400

    So after experimenting and finding a good solution for my home listening needs my attention is now turned to my portable use. I've been using my mx400 out of either my x5 or ipod for 7 years now(yes these earbuds are that old). I've done everything imaginable to these earbuds, from dropping them...

    Which headphone manufacturer makes the best stock cable?

    Just curious. I've heard grado stock cables are pretty decent as well as the Denon D5000 and Sennheiser HD650.

    What desktop amp for <$200 and better than my head-six?

    Because I most of my music listening is done from home I decided that a portable amp might not be the best way to get the most out of my cans, especially my current HD650's. I was more of a portable amp person so I'm pretty new to desktops and don't really know what the best amp for my setup...

    My Mid- to High-fi Review: Denon D2000, HD650, AD700, DT770pro (56k Warning)

    So searching for the best sound I seemed to have randomly acquired these cans My impressions are limited so far as I've only been listening to the DT770 and HD650 for a couple of hours. However, within that time I can start to tell the differences between them and my other cans. Please forgive...

    Chaintech AV710 synergizes better with AD700 than D2000?!?

    I just setup my chaintech AV710 two days ago and been listen to my two main cans since. I was previously using my sound blaster live, which was pretty decent, and worked better with my D2000, but now that I've made the switch it seems the AD700 sound better. The AV710 makes my cans sound...

    Why aren't there any recabled A/AD 500,700,900?

    I don't see alot of people recabling AT cans except for the high end ones like the AD2000 or W5000. So does that mean the stock cables on Audio Technica cans are better than most other cans? I was going to recable mines but couldn't find alot of people doing it so I assumed that either the stock...

    Which old DAP purchases would you consider a ripoff compared to now?

    I'll start off with an old iriver flash player. I think it was one of the first ones to come out and back then I paid $50 for 32mb. The thing could hold like 8 songs at 128kbs, which I guess was impressive back in the day. It was a pretty decent deal back then, especially since I bought it on...

    Is it possible to cryo your own cables?

    I have access to liquid nitrogen and also a -80C freezer. I don't know if its worth it with the spc cables I have but I could purchase some solid core copper or silver and do it. I really have no idea how the process is done but I'm interested in trying if its possible.

    Why use more than one wire per channel?

    I just recabled my D2000 yesterday and noticed that its now much brighter and bassier than before. I've read about people recabling with more than one wire per channel and for ground, usually ending up with an 8 cable braid, and I was wondering if there was any advantage to this. If I won't...

    Do Head-fi reviews cause inflated headphone prices?

    I've only recently noticed this but it seems that forum members on this site tend to post reviews of headphones, which depending on if they're favorable or not, cause the demand of that headphone to go up. Probably the easiest examples I can think of currently are the D2000/D5000 and the AKG...
