Very very old thread, but for who might be interested I found them a bit close on the highs (I have a pair of Beyers with Tesla drivers), so decided to be brave and going for the well known grado mod. Dismounted the ear pads and found a black fabric disc sticked on the drivers. Removed it and...

I do listen to classical, besides other genres, and I do like them really a lot. I feed them with several digital sources and the phone output of my Accuphase pre. They sound really really well to my ears, at a point that they reveal the tiniest detail, yet in the big picture, if I can say. For...

Here is another classical fan, with 1990s you can easily discern between a good recording and a poor one. The same on pop, yesterday evening I took an old "the very best of..." and the difference in quality of different recordings was really straightforward. I can't completely understand who...

Great music!!! Which edition of the Capriccio?

Very nice John, thank you! Stefano

I sit pretty near, but my whisky is not so near... :beyersmile:

Thanks for sharing! I agree that 3 meters are on the longish size but on the other side I hate to cope with very short cables, so I would consider any change only for (even) better quality

...really cheap! , do you reckon any major sonic difference or advantage over the stock one?

Same for me, but in my case i feel the treble issue is often due to poorly recorded tracks. BTW, nice setup! What cable are you using?

I can understand your point on "brightness", but IMHO they are just revealing the quality of the recording which is - in the end - exactly what they should be made for... and what I'm after, in the end Any element of the chain has an influence on the final result, just choose a different cable...

They are absolutely comfortable to me, except perhaps when it's really really hot due to the velour of the pads.

Hi, I must say I wasn't so keen on headphones but the DT1990s are really gorgeous. Indeed I find them really balanced. I mean, the treble is here but likewise the bass and the midrange. Yesterday evening I listend to Schumann's Piano Concerto and the first movement of Grieg's Piano Concerto and...

Listened to my tuner for a long time, rediscovering a whole bunch of 80-90's songs. I didn't know old good analog broadcast can sound so well. I've the clear impression they have a resolving power limited either by the recording or by other elements of the chain.

A quick update for who might eventually be interested. I managed to sort out the issue with the left channel. Well, the Beyers really shine and I re-discovered a bunch of CDs I "thought" to know well. In particular, a Philips recording I'm very fond of, has been finally "revealed". It has...

DT-1990-Pro sound perfectly adequate at just half turn of the volume knob. If only the left speaker of the headphones would sound... infact it only emits a very faint sound and I suspect the speaker is blown
