    You guys always said how headphones sound like MUCH more expensive speakers...

    ...and to get equivalent sound out of speakers would cost you 10x as much, and so on and so forth? It all sounded very fanboyish and cliche, playing into the purpose of this forum. Well, you were 100% correct. The more I use my new rig, the more impressed I am with the sound. Bass - quick...

    Goosebumps...

    I have had my Denon AH-D2000's for over a year, driven off my Harman Kardon receiver (a crime, I know...) - which rock. I have had my X-CAN V8 for about 2 weeks now, and I have been using it hard to get it settled in (and to enjoy it!) Probably closing in on 200 hours (yes, I use it a LOT)...

    My X-CAN v8 arrived - some questions.

    First, I am currently: Pure musical bliss. My AH-D2000's have never sounded better. I have a few questions I am still trying to get a better answer on: --Do you leave it on 24/7? I listen 4-12 hours a day, 7 days a week. --From a cold start, is there a warm-up period, or can I just go...

    Tube life on the X-CAN V8?

    FINALLY ordered a headphone amp (Musical Fidelity X-CAN V8 as you probably guessed) for my Denon AH-D2000's. This is the first tube device I have owned, and have a question about the tube life. Assuming by the "NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE" written on the case, I am assuming the tubes...

    Denon D2000 amp help (n00b alert!)

    Hi guys, Been very happy with my AD-D2000's. No, THRILLED with them I am 'owed' a birthday gift and am looking for a headphone amp, as I am using my Harman Kardon AVR-635 receiver right now (bad, I know). Budget $300 tops...I hope. This amp will be used at my computer desk and will be...

    Made a mistake today...

    ...I am loving life with the AH-D2000's, but I decided I needed some small, cheap earbuds with a case to use with my laptop while at school. Bought a pair of cheap Philips, got them home, and hooked them up... ...and they are going right back. It sounds like the lows, mids, and highs are...

    AH-D2000's - talk about break in!!!

    When I first got them, they sounded good, but my god the bass was, ummmm, noticeable (it was clean, but WAY too much of it). I know how good these cans are, and just assumed it was my lame receiver acting as the amp putting in too much bass. I was a little worried though. Well, I have about...

    Denon D2000 first impressions:

    Bought these things because I needed closed back and I got a very good price for being a dealer. Please note I am a silly n00b, so this is also me talking about my first experience with good cans, but before I get my amp. Used a pair of $100 Sony studio phones before, and they were 'good'...

    Just got my Denon AH-D2000s' few questions:

    Still new here, so bear with me please. Just picked them up. They are replacing my 8 year old $100 Sony's from best Buy - which have served me well. Anyway, I am using the built-in headphone amp on my Harman Kardon receiver (is that as taboo as posting on a Porsche forum you bought a new...

    Denon AH-D2000's on the way, looking at amps...

    First, this is my first post. Heard a lot about this forum (mostly that you get sucked into a black hole of never ending upgrades and you are generally miserable because you know either the recording could be better, or you need better equipment... ) and am glad to be here. I sell Denon gear...
