john mayer? the where the light is Live in LA cd

I have ecc82 telefunken, it become my favourite. But right now i am trying mullard , it is more to the bright side. But it still great

vote for toshiba , I am using right now. It has spdif and hdmi. THe headphone out is great with playing movie, it likes watch in theatre. I tried with d2000

how about ath esw9 I haven't heard them yet, but they looks great

I have sold my first great cans igrado 2years ago. I still remember how I thrilled by this tiny cans. But After doing some journey with the grado and audio technica gears(see my signature), then I realize that they don't suit my preference and taste of music so I had to let their go. Not best...

I think it is more to headphone you using right now, the source (bitrate) at minimum 128 is good enough for music.

try hybrid amp w/ d2000, the imaging and the soundstage is wonderful. The greatest strength of the d2000 is the bass, bass has more impact and space which I don't hear when paired with my portable amp d3 phyton

I agree that d2000 sound so horrible when not properly amp, I prefer Yuin PK1 than d2000 when no amp use, or with d3 phyton. But when amp properly the music live presentation d2000 can be so beautiful. But I think with this price range sr325i and d2000 need to have a good amp to optimitize their...

Ipod5thgen-D3phyton-Starquad LOD-YuinPK1 even not so good with isolation (I sometime use it to go to my office on a bus, hiding the ipod and the amp in myjacket ) I am still very happy with the result. This combo always be my standard when comparing other gears. ToshibaM300-D3phytonDAC-IC...

how about toshiba. Mine (m300) has usb, firewire, s/pdif. And I think HDMI as well with great price (usd600-700)

I have d2000 thus I recommend hybrid amp such as ef1 for d5000, tube and op amp can be rolled for music preference. I am also seeking for best value dac, you may also consider gamma1 full config (s/pdif) and apogee duet

I am very satisfied with my d2000, it is better for me than previous hp I own (see my sig) but d2000 definitely need an amp to sound with good imaging and bass. For comparison about grado the d2000 more dark (alot of bass) and great soundstage and i think a little more laidback cmiiw

hei a great instrument for me , it just like modified gamelan ( a traditional instrument from indonesia, java, espicially or BALI) the sound is very almost similar when the top of instrumen being hit. here some links http://www.joglosemar.co.id/gamelan/bonang1.jpg...

with rca cleartop the imaging is superb. I hear the song autumn in seatle by Tsuyoshi Yamamoto, and very surprised, It is like someone playing piano in myroom!! in front of me. But maybe all tube sound like this eh? But I still feel the rca cleartop feel boring in guitar acoustic...

I suggest d2000 as it is my last headphone right now, It suit my preference : a lot of bass, good imaging, and good midrange

I never try ad700, but i think they share the benefits with a900 such as huge soundstage and clean bass. it is opposite of the grado with so laidback sounding, and thin mid, nevertheles it is the fastest headphone I try so far When i tried ad900 + ibasso d3 phyton, I did not really hear some...

I want to share my experience as well. When I first bought my first cans in audiophile jungle, igrado, it had some wow factor to me, yet I still remember how it feels right now. Then I eventually get some serious illness, which I guest all the gentlemen around here also have it. The upgraditis...

For me the d2000 is for day listening, it is fun cans but not really suit for night listening. For that I am still like Yuin PK1 more because more laidback and smooth

d2000 is not for portable. it is loud enough when drive by an ipod or any mp3 player. IT really needs more powerfull amp to sound properly

@downer what tube do you have downer? I believe everyone here agree ef1 greatest strength is the rich and smooth mid (tubist sound?)

nice post... still wait for updates

some people say grado must be recabled, do it and get some modification on the earcup , use wood housing > I believe sr60 with proper mod will become more spasius and get more bass impact

i have just pulled the trigger, ef1 on the way from head direct, hope mine not have the problem

the d2000 stock to my ear is lacking of space definition (not natural and compressed ambience/soundstage) and uncontrolled bass. And always have uncomfortable high I have found the ttvj millet hybrid is really great to pair with, it improves all I mention above, and excel in midrange(articulate...
