Are my Denon AH-D1001 fake / counterfeit ? :S
Hi all, Just received a pair of Denon AH-D1001 from a classified ad elsewhere, and just wondering if they are fakes? The packaging is cheaper than I would expect from a premium brand (and not very well put together), and I spotted a spelling mistake on the box - I don't expect spelling...- Bencrest

Beyerdynamic DT990 600ohm driver / customer service issues
You are an absolute star, thanks :) Just wondering, my DT990 is, what I believe is called, the 2010 edition (pretty sure they 'revised' the models in 2010, much like they did in 2005). I was wondering if I might have a driver from the previous range, but then again Polar Audio claimed the...- Bencrest

Beyerdynamic DT990 600ohm driver / customer service issues
Anyone got any ideas? I've never had a driver replacement on any of my cans before. Is it possible the new driver needs burning in, or is there a difference between Pro / Non-Pro drivers? I would ask Beyerdynamic but since they've not replied to any of my service emails, and their replies...- Bencrest

Beyerdynamic DT990 600ohm driver / customer service issues
Hi all, Absolutely loved my Beyerdynamic DT990 Manufaktur (600ohm) which I ordered a couple of months back. After one month, the right hand driver died, so I emailled Beyerdynamic in Germany (the contact details on the invoice I received) with no reply. I then used the 'contact us' form on...- Bencrest

So, new cans are here... now... where's my amp? :)
Cheers for the comments everyone :) I've been using them tonight gaming with the Aune (which is currently up for sale), just amping my Xbox 360's RCA cables, and it seemed to have no problem at all driving them. Hmm... interesting. I read so many posts saying 'YOU NEED TEH MAJOR TUBE...- Bencrest

Quote: Well, basically, it's just a case of comparing the headphones (straight out of my laptop) against the headphones running out of an amplifier. You should get the volume exactly right between the two, and look for any differences in the sound :)- Bencrest

This is ridiculous, they sound absolutely stunning from my netbook, without an amp. Will be nice when the amp gets here so that I can A/B between the two, but it's going to be hard to the amp to really improve on this to be honest.- Bencrest

I'm on the way back from a hospital appointment with mum, and dad calls me to let me know he's just signed for a parcel. I assume it's my amplifier / DAC, which would be expected as they were posted at the end of last week, whereas the Beyerdynamic DT990s I ordered claimed a 3 week delivery time...- Bencrest

If you don't like grados...
I quite like Grados - I've had the SR60i / SR225 / SR325i / SR325is and GS1000, as well as Alessandro MS2 and MS2i Couple of things though : 1) Cable design. Bloody awful. I *love* chunky cables, but I should not, for £300, be afraid of the earcups turning around too much and the...- Bencrest

Any amp advice / suggestion for Beyerdynamic DT990 600 ohm version? :)
I did try using the search tool, but it returned millions of unrelated threads so I gave up! :D Decided to treat myself to a new pair of cans and settled on a new Manufaktur set of DT990s, 600ohm model. They will be here in about 2 weeks I imagine, so that gives me time to investigate amps...- Bencrest

Introduction of E9
The seller from ' lambayrules ' a.k.a. ' mp3-amplifier ' on eBay informed me earlier that his stock of the E9 has arrived (whether this stock is only for pre-orders or not, I have no idea!) I'm quite tempted, but I assumed it had a USB DAC built in, which it doesn't. However, he's working... -
DIY Charity Raffle - Twisted Pear Ventus
Oh, I don't know, I said I would gladly donate without entering the raffle anyway due to the problems with converting the amp for UK voltage anyway, so I'm not fussed if I can't get the amp " class="bbcode_smiley" files.head-fi.org="" height="" http:="" images="" p="" smilies=""...- Bencrest
