New Dekoni Earpads for DT700/900 Pro X
Look let's all be honest here, the Chi fi industry is making it inexpensive for the US and or whomever is competitively priced. Dekoni makes a very fine product and my guess is it's definitely not made in the United States probably Chi-Fi manufactured. With that being said I even own some of...- Monte Verdi

AKG K712 PRO
AKG 7 & 8 Series are definitely underrated which is fine by me as it keeps used market prices down. In fact just picked up a low priced pair of K240 Sextett's (LP Model) off EBay from Austria which are on the way which I will mod like my K712's, you snooze, you loose.- Monte Verdi

Yeah, I look forward to trying them in the studio as well, I've taken a short summer break from recording but I can imagine they could be excellent there.- Monte Verdi

AKG K712 PRO
In all honesty these headphones are excellent with minor modding and EQ'ing. I just picked up a pair of Austrian made K712's and took out old stock pads and replaced with Brainwavz protein elites and Dekoni Nuggets for headband and they sound wonderful, ymmv.- Monte Verdi

GoldPlanar GL2000 Thread
Moon Audio Silver Dragon works nicely if adding a bit of EQ, otherwise stock cable is smoother imo and differences are not dramatic. For what it's worth these headphones sound beautiful, ymmv.- Monte Verdi

Fostex TH600 Dynamic Headphones
The sub bass in these headphones is stellar in fact it could go Toe to Toe with any hi end headphone in bass response today imo. I would not suggest boosting the sub bass but you can try it and perhaps that will be your cup of tea. If you were to boost the bass response I believe you would have...- Monte Verdi

Albuquerque, NM meet: April 29, 2017!
Really sorry and disappointed I was not able to make it but sadly a 16" inch snow drop killed that idea at my house. I was looking forward to hearing some excellent gear especially Tony Landry's new Annapurna 20B amp and Mojo Ben's new DAC which I understand takes native PCM to new heights.- Monte Verdi

Fostex TH600 Dynamic Headphones
Admittedly, when I said " smoked " I may have been over stepping, I simply prefer the Lawton modded TH 600 signature to that of the Beyerdynamic dt990 premium. Now that being said the DT990 are a very fine headphone indeed and I will pull from storage and give another listen then post results.- Monte Verdi

I believe your assessment is accurate and I would add TH X00 is head centric and TH 600 has a more expansive soundstage from my experience.- Monte Verdi

Thought I would show some love for the TH 600 by sharing my listening experience at this moment.

Fostex TH600 Dynamic Headphones
Sorry to tell you that you're wrong here, a very small switching power supply as in the Mojo and whatever your C5 is not certain what that is exactly, but without a brawny power supply you will only be grabbing at straws in regards to the bass and bass control that you speak of out of the th 600...- Monte Verdi

Sadly the Mojo DAC is only acceptable, but as far as my experience tells me if you have not heard the th 600 through this amplifier you are missing out on the grand display! Furthermore there is no best IMO it is only a subjective experience in our audio arena. But if there were a best way to...- Monte Verdi

Personally I would quote them exactly what you spent on headphones because there's likely going to be depreciation on your items with the insurance claim should something happen.- Monte Verdi
