Advice when using expandable sleeving/braided nylon
Hi all, I'm just about to order some expandable sleeving for a headphone recable, but the different diameters available are a little confusing and I was hoping someone could give me some tips...

Denon D2000's with Beyer velour pads - Yuk!
Not sure if anyone else has done this, but I just tried my DT990 (2005) velour pads on my Denon 2k's and I was thoroughly disappointed with the result! The bass almost completely disappears, which is bad news for a basshead like me. The Beyer pads are ever so slightly smaller than the Denons...- shadesbass

DIY headphone recable questions
Hi all, Well I'm thinking of getting a pair of Denon AH-D2000's which, judging by what I've read, really benefit from a recable. I want a flexible, hard-wearing cable so I think solid wire is out (unless anyone can convince me otherwise). I've seen various brands of starquad mentioned...- shadesbass

Cheap amp with RCA phono inputs for Sennheiser HD490?
Hi all, I'm looking for a reliable desktop amp for a pair of Sennheiser HD490's. Must have RCA phono inputs and reasonable sound quality. Doesn't need to be spectacular, just clean and noise-free with a fairly flat response. Any suggestions? Budget is up to £50/$100. Cheers.- shadesbass

Custom moulded tips for Shure E500's
I've had a set of custom moulded tips for my E500's for a while now, but have just received a new pair, with an added cord to ease removal. My last ones got very loose on the IEMs and kept falling off. I believe this was caused by having to partially remove the IEM from the tip in order to gain...- shadesbass

Looking for portable headphones (fussy)
Ok, so my girlfriend caught the bug after hearing my 2005 DT990's and would like some "nice sounding, not too expensive" portable headphones. I'm guessing up to about $100. We tried the PX100's, PX200's and the iGrados and didn't like any of them. She doesn't like earbuds, IEMs, behind the...- shadesbass

She has tried the normal yellow foam earplugs (like these) and the Etymotic ER-20's, both of which are too big for her small ears! So, short of getting custom plugs made (which isn't really worth it for 2...- shadesbass

Want to try DT990 (2005) in Yorkshire & other questions
After many hours of research I have finally narrowed my new headphone purchase down to a pair of 2005 edition DT990's or HD650's. I tried the HD650's today at Vickers Hi-Fi in York, but would like to try the DT990's before I make a final decision. So...I have tried Vickers and Sound...- shadesbass

Little Dot Micro+ for e500 IEMs? Or combined amp/DAC?
Hi all, I will shortly be getting a pair of e500's to use with my iRiver H120, and was wondering if the Little Dot Micro+ would be a good addition to this setup? I'm also considering getting some Sennheiser HD25's and possibly some Beyerdynamic DT990's, but that's for another thread...- shadesbass
