Woohoo Team Mid-Fi Denon!

Just like the OP, I noticed the bass and mids clearing up after break-in, and again, even more improvement with recable. Also, before recable, I preferred the 555s for gaming (CS:S), but now I use the Denons - improved soundstage after recable. |

I don't consider the D1001 bass monsters but I've never heard a headphone that has the slam I want. But then again I've been spoiled by that bass slam in car audio so there's really no comparision in headphones to that probably. The bass is satisfying though. I do not find the bass bloated or muddy at all. |
