    most likely a typical comment/question from hi-fi rookie

    You might want to look into the Meier Corda Opera. I haven't heard it with the hd600, however I know that Jan Meier fine tunes his amps using the hd650. I've been very happy with mine, the quality is excellent, and Jan's service is fantastic as well.

    Denon D5000 or JVC HP-DX1000 ?

    I own the JVC DX1000. I haven't heard the D5000, however I've heard the D2000, which everyone seem to think are fairly similar to the D5000. I found the D2000 to be a very nice headphone, quite a lot of bass, more mid bass than the DX1000, however the DX1000 sound like they have slightly...

    have dt990... what's the next upgrade? (bought dx1000)

    Wow Skylab, that's pretty interesting. What made you prefer the dt990 over the GS1000? As I said, I found the GS1000 quite a lot better than the dt990.

    have dt990... what's the next upgrade? (bought dx1000)

    Just read my previous post, and I wasn't quite clear. So to clear things up: The GS1000 is a far better headphone than the dt990, and if I had to choose, I'd pick the GS1000 any day. However what I realized when going from the GS1000 to dt990, was that while the GS1000 is fantastic in many...

    Corda Opera and Grado GS1000, but now what?

    To me the DX1000 is in the same class as the GS1000, however they don't really sound that much alike, so that doesn't really solve your problem. I haven't heard the E9, but from how they've been described, I'd very much doubt they sound the same as the GS1000.

    have dt990... what's the next upgrade? (bought dx1000)

    b0dhi: No doubt the GS1000 have a decent amount of mid bass, but the bass isn't very deep, so I still found the bass amount and enjoyability of the dt990 better. Oh, and it's the 05 version, 600 ohm.

    Yossi: Hehe, I'm sorry, but these really are fantastic, and way better than the dt990. Mind you I was very happy with my dt990 for a long time, even when returning from the GS1000 the dt990 weren't bad, mostly due to the increased bass. I really can't see myself using the dt990 now that I've...

    Well, I've had these since friday, and I guess it's about time i post my impressions. Be warned, this will just be a rant of different stuff I've spotted while listening, so it's hardly very structured . First of all, they look fantastic, quality is excellent. Comfort is slightly worse to me...

    Beyerdynamic DT 770 (Pro/80) VS DT 990 2005 (250)

    I've owned both dt770-80 and dt990-600 (still have dt990). I gotta say after getting the dt990 I didn't use the dt770 at all. The 990 are in a different class if you ask me, dt770 sound low fi and muddy when directly compared to the dt990. Mind you I was happy with my dt770 for a long time...

    By the way Cecala, how would you compare the GS1000 to the DX1000? Just some quick keywords please Do the DX1000 have the same snap and impact as the GS1000? God, I'm like a small child, constantly updating the Track & Trace to see if they've gotten further in the system.

    JVC HP-DX1000 Owners Unite!

    Just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I ordered a pair of DX1000 from audiocubes the 10th and they were shipped on the 27th. Cecala talked about the possibility of JVC having stopped production of the DX1000, and my recent experience seems to add to that theory. So if anyone is interested...

    BushGuy: It does indeed quite accurately describe Danish women. The swedes even slightly edge us out with the blondes. However if you like brunettes you must go to Sicily. It's a fantastic place as well Cecala: Yes, it's great, hopefully I should receive them this week. I'll be sure to post...
