Hey thanks for the links. I checked out that site some more to see if they had any other fostex/hinge related stuff, didnt look like it though. :(

Hey guys, I have a pair of Denon AHD5000s which Ive owned for over 5 years now. Anyways, long story short I stood up from my desk one night and the headphones came with me. They broke at the most vulnerable spot, right where the hinge connects the can and the band/swivel. BTW I live in the US...

They already got back to me and have shipped 1 replacement via USPS priority. Good guys, its certainly an easy mistake to make as I imagine the plugs are already packaged and when they ship, they probably verify via label. I need to /equip better patience lol.

I love you guys. Made me feel better :3     Regardless, I love the Schiit products. And have had no issues with my Vali amp, my Magni is OTW. Its just ironic to me cause Ive been waiting longest for the dac and it came with the wrong plug ahaha. Well I went ahead and ordered an extra...

I just received my Schiit MODI opti dac and I received the wrong power plug! I ordered a USA and instead got a EU plug. Do you guys know how Schiits policy handles this? I surely wont have to ship the entire product back right? Ive already contacted Schiit directly...Such sad, much...

Hey thanks man, looking around a bit, it looks like the t5p is basically the t1 but closed-ear style? Gonna do some more reading, regardless appreciate the link. And the very nice offer, Ill see how things proceed in the next few days. Perhaps you will be getting a PM from me about that...

  I actually checked out the classifieds on this board and found a few t1s! Ive contacted them. See what happens. Thanks again for the help man.   Thanks for the info man, I actually did some research after you mentioned them and it does appear they are quiet the upgrade. I'm really stuck...

Actually now that Ive looked, the t1 is 900 on amazon.....hhhhhmmmm.   Awesome post, thank you sir. Appreciate the heads up. Is there a big difference between the newer hifimans and the 500/400 models? I am very interested in using the he500s. Or I guess planars/orthos?// in general.  ...

Hey thanks man!   Dang those Beyer T90s are the perfect price. Im actually really liking those 2 beyers you mentioned, Im gonna look around for a used set of the T1 out of curiosity. I was wondering about the Fostex cans, I figured they would be close to the Denons but thats why I asked. I saw...

Hey guys, I just want to say firstly that my entire audio build is based off this site and your guys recommendations. I am NOT an expert at audio equipment, but would like to start experiencing and learning more. In 2010 I bought my Denon D5000s after posting a thread asking about direction. I...

Hey guys, will make this short. I just recently bought myself some Denon 5000's and a mini3 amp. Now I need a interconnect...But Im kinda stuck...it seems I can get this guy for 65cents! HDMI Cable, Home Theater Accessories, HDMI Products, Cables, Adapters, Video/Audio Switch, Networking...

Sorry for the double post but I figured I would go ahead and ask in this thread then make a whole new one. I got a pretty good deal on a mini3, would that amp be ok to run either the 2000's or 5000's? I saw that the ibasso was a good match but couldnt find much on the mini3 with the 2...

Quote: Originally Posted by owenhan I think they may be the opposite of what you're looking for. They can sound quite flat and need good amplification. While they're the favourite phones of many, the source/amp/song combos I used made them sound a bit dull. I don't think the big bass...

Hey guys, do you think this amp would drive the Denon 2000's well enough? Also what about the 5000's? Looking at this amp to drive my purchase of either the 2. Thanks for the help!

Thanks guys! So now I need to decide on the D2000's or 5000's. Also what do you guys think about the The Mini³ portable amp? My friend said he had one made and it was awesome...but Im not sure if thats to be trusted ahaha.

Sorry for the double post but I saw the Denon AH5000's are only 425 on amazon...would that be worth it? What kind of amp would need to drive the Denon AHD2000/5000 cans? Could I use the Maverick for either?
