Is anyone using this amp with Audio-Technica headphones? I'm looking for a amp that goes well with my Audio-Technicas and DT880 2003 and both wa2 and wa22 seem interesting.

The meet was nice (thanks jantze), with few pleasant surprises but I think I was missing a set or two from last year. This year revealed at least the fact that, even with all the fancy modifications, I'm still not a huge Denon fan.

yepyep_ seems to have gotten a sad looking cable. Lucky for him I'm also from Finland and I'm willing to trade my beautiful pink cable for that lame silvery white one

I used to own a pair of those. I really liked the colours

Damn, Just recieved my proline 900s today and I think I have to give the mod a try.

If I get the Pinky I don't care what happens to the v-psu.

For me the fit is really good already, no mods or anything just listening. I even get a perfect seal. Back to the burn in...

Got the headphones today \o/ They're beautiful, but I don't like the fit. They feel kinda loose and it is not because my head is small, it isn't. Still I don't think I liked the fit on my ath-w1000s at first so I hope it'll get better. I'm listening to them on my work computer now and they...
