les_garten why don't you host a mini-meet. I will bring two modded Denons both w/ the MarkL Mods and a pair of Bubinga V4 wood cups. One started life as a D2000 and it also has a re-cable by Bryan of Zynsonic, the other started as a D5000 w/ the stock cable.

Hadn't got to that one yet, I was busing applying tape to Grado Salad Bowls last night!

Hi Miguel,
I'm slammed with a house sale and a Move presently. Of course I'm behind on everything! That would be a blast for sure. Next time there's a big S. FL meet maybe I'll be free. I'm sure I could come up with something someone would want to listen to!

I will def mod some d2ks to accompany d7k, the reason the mids sound more forward on the D5k to me is that the bass bleeds a little bit into the midrange, giving it weight and thus more apparent.

[size=small]Anybody compare the D7000 stock cable vs. Jena Ultrawire 22 or other re-cable?[/size]

Wow! I'm really loving these headphones they are truly a grand headphone

. They sound amazing.

 

[Dr. Robert]

A Truly amazing headphones. You can hear ALL THE MUSIC. You have the true sound present inside your head and also outside.
Compared wit my AKG 701 the difference is awesome

 

[twylight]

Id like to add a little something...I was arguing some very fine points between the 2 headphones.

I would like to add this:

Denon 7000=markl 5000>every other headphone i have owned>left side of a HD800 for the same price>every iem including e530, um3x>nearfield desktop speakers of the same price range>HT speakers>listening to my wife bitch about something

If you are looking to spend $550 street on some headphone - I highly recommend rushing out and buying a pair of 7000s.

I just called J&R and they only like to give me the price at $575, how come><
Due to their abundant stock?

 

[tim3320070]

Hang up and call again....

 

[CapQ]

Yeah it is not fair I cant get at the same price tag.
I will try another salesperson.

 

[DoYouRight]

only call if you are ordering, if there are alot of calls with people checking and not finishing they may move up more, do not spam them to be like REALLY ONLY THIS PRICE.

has anyone tried the d7000's with balanced cables?

 

[Yikes]

My AH-D7000's are currently with Moon Audio being re-cabled balanced. Moon Audio's cables are excellent, however since I am a Cable importer I'm having them use my cables. The cables that I'm using retail for more than the headphones themselves, but that's just the way that I roll.

I'm looking forward to getting them back. So far no ETA from Drew at Moon Audio. The last time I re-cabled like this it was more than worthwhile. It turned a pair of sony MDR-SA5000 a good but bright headphone into one of the best sounding headphones that I've ever heard. I wanted to give a friend a special gift, so I gave my Re-Cabled SA5000's to him. I don't regret giving them to him (Because I wanted the gift to be special), but I sure as hell miss those Sony's. At some point I will replace them, but for now I impatiently wait for my 7000's to come home to Papa.

what kind of connections are you getting... b/c i may have moon reterminate my cable on the d7000s with one of their higher end cables but i am not sure if i should get it done with a pair of 3pin xlr's or a single 4pin xlr b/c the amp im prob going to get will have both...
