not sure on the amp ? they are pretty darn good without the amp that is one reason I got them ? also reading other things and trying to compare the 650 are very nice but ended up with these ?    the fact the 650 would be about $350 with no amp and the Denon can be found for way cheaper $220...

had the at ad700 got rid of them and now have the Denon D2000 got mine for around $200 their are some deals on them if you look :) 

since I was wondering how the DT880 would have been glad you like your D200 better    the cable ? hmm a love hate thing  is stiff I end up laying it across my lap and then back or it just binds and pulls ? not sure if I want to pay for a new cable ? so if you do please post    I would...

cant wait to hear more and how ya liking them after some time  and if ya think the bass is better controlled ?    I guess you and I at least think they are a solid upgrade   the weight thing ? I am used to it my ears sweat a bit if I have them on for hours ? but then again the 1001 I...

Cool IZ has some great stuff like any Genre its not for everyone but he is a legend in the islands !    I hope you like the D2000 of course   yeah curious about the sound after break in?  sadly I wont remember how it was I imagine hehehehe but that is also why I wanted to mention...

Quote: if you go to song #8  http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/facing-future/id6920356 White Sandy beach of Hawaii   listened to this back and forth a ton no amp straight out of the Mac Pro ?    while the sound is very very close the D2000 have a much more open feel like the...

    Quote:   I dont know if its cause the bass is more controlled and tighter that the mids and highs seem to fall in line better ? or they just do ? the later is my thought though they just are nicer ?   

I have both the Denon D1001 and the D2000   wife uses the 1001 where I use the D2000 but for me its a nice upgrade and even the wife notices the bass is not as boomy and loose is how she said it sounds compared to the 1001    for me its all the way across the board nicer than the 1001 we...

I thought they were ? till I got my wife some Denon 1001 then realized how they are not that comfortable   they are not as bad as some I imagine but not what I call comfortable ? I wear glasses and they push in to much my older donut pads were much better than the cover type replacements ...

I would second why not the Deon D2000 ?   might be a option to throw into the mix ?

Arrived and they seem comfy ? although the ear pad seems a bit synthetic soft ? not cotton soft but they are under $100 ?   sound wise quite nice now to compare with the Denon 1001 we have ! if I had to have one or the other for sound I do think the Denon are nicer songs with the uke...

OK bought the ATH-AD700 and a 5.1 amp for the PS3 going to spend some time with them and my denon get a good feel for the two then try to take those around and see what else is out there this spring ? bring these into the HT room and listen to both see what I like dont like etc...

doing my research tonight noticed the DT990 2005 is $199 and the DT990 Pro is $179 new ? seems the 2005 is the way to go ? so for $200 ? plus I get free shipping from BH who I deal with a ton already   interesting price doing some research on them ? and seems good any thoughts I know...

Quote: mahalos :) one quick question on your HD580 did you get to listen to the HD600 ? and if so any thoughts ? and had you ever listened to the Denon 1001 I have ? or the grado 80s ?   good to know it sounds like the AD700 and maybe the 900 are bass lacking then as that seems to...
