Though I haven't really gotten around to playing with it that much...the build quality is really nice. Tegra makes for a really smooth experience. I did an unboxing...review will come soon YouTube - Microsoft Zune HD 32GB Unboxing and Preview

I had a small cup of water on my desk and spilled it on my d2000's soaking the wires. The headphones are dry but the nylon wires are sorta soaked. From the outside they don't look waterproof. Will this ruin my headphones?

Hey guys, I have the Denon D2000 and baby these things. But somehow they develop these annoying kinks and bends that are hard to make straight. Any suggestions? Another question: Internally, are headphones pretty sturdy and resilient? Are there parts in a headphone that are susceptible to...

I'm in the same boat as you sir. In addition to the ones you just mentioned I'm also looking at the Purity Audio's KICAS and Caliente and Headamp's Gilmore Light....I haven't been able to decide!

what about in terms of electricity: do tube amps use a lot more power than ss amps?

Do tubes get annoyingly hot? Or is it something that isn't really noticeable to you guys..? I like the low-profile of SS amps. I was thinking of the MKV or the KICAS Caliente for my 580s and d2000s

With all the downloading these days, record and cd stores are closing left and right. I've just recently got into classical/jazz music with my first setup and am looking for some specialty shops where I could browse around and talk to knowledgeable salespeople. The only thing close to that that...

Hey guys Sadly the CD5001 doesn't have SACD, i was mislead by the description saying "Super Audio CD Grade" DAc. The only reason why I wanted the Oppo was because its practicality as a dvd player, but I'll probably go for the Marantz because I don't have an amp (yet) so that's the only system...

Well since I don't have an amp and won't be able to buy one for a couple months, my only choice would be the Marantz right? Would I be missing out on the greatness of sacd's??? I kinda like how the Oppo can double as a decent dvd player, but yea, I'm pretty hesitant by the fact that it isn't...

Hey guys, I've decided to forgo a dac/amp for my computer and have instead get a better source now and an amp in the coming months. I like the idea that I don't have to turn on my COMPUTER all the time to listen music... I've narrowed it down to these three cd players: the Marantz CD5001...

Hi, I have the d2000s and the hd580s. Will this be a good choice to power them as my desktop solution?

hmm 250?? But I can push it if reaaally neccessary.

Hmm...what about SS amps? I was thinking of something more discrete and convienent. Exposed blubs kinda scare me. IF you were to decide between the the dac/amps combos what would you guys reccomend?

I've been using my d2000 and hd580's for a while connected directly to my SB Audigy 2 ZS and after going to the recent Headroom meet in Socal and sampling some rigs, frankly, I can't listen to my setup anymore! I was completely blown away by the difference a better DAC/Amp makes. I'm unsure...

i also think apple products are overhyped and overpriced...fashion over functionality for many... however i think their user-friendliness and simplistic nature is what makes it so attractive to your average consumer...

I just got my HD580s!!!! I've been using using the Denon D2000's for the past week and to be honest I wasn't looking forward to the 580's...But I'm happy to report that even unamped these sound superb and I am amazed. I haven't really listened to each of them enough to compare but I'm really...

another vote for the d2000...I was soooo tempted to make the quick buck and sell them after the amazon deal...but after everyone convinced me to try them out I'm happy to report that they saved me from making a big mistake...thanks to everyone! seems to me to be a great all-around can...i...

k finally I have the 580's on their way...sooo stoked! thanks head-fi...i just dropped a load of cash for d2000's and 580's

yea since there does seem to be a good number of anteaters here...I think in the mean time while we wait for a general socal meeting we should have a uci one...maybe at the student center, someone's apartment/dorm whatever

Oh don't get me wrong, if the sub was on my desk life would be damn good...I'm not doubting that the swans are one of the best 2.1 solutions for your computer but in my situation it's just not really practical having the sub on my desk...I really miss the sound...so crisp and distinct... I...

Is there such thing as an eargasm? Cause I think I just had one....

OK...after lots of hours of burn-in time this set has improved drastically. The bass from the sub has tightened very noticeably. When the bass is turned up 3/4 and the volume is moderately high this system shines with any music you throw at it, especially acoustic, jazz and classical...

It just sits there idling on my desk...I have the constant urge to just rip open the box and plug these headphones in. But I don't because if I open the box and try them it will lose that 'new' factor and I'm afraid it'll lose resale value. Also too, I was thinking of getting the D1000 as a...
