Well I bought the D1000s months ago so they have MANY hours on them but I hated the stock cable. For those who have them know what I'm talking about first hand. It's made of this very rubbery cable, decent for the price but hell to coil up after using them.
So I said what the hell. I planned on redoing my D2000s anyway so I ordered some Mogami 2893 as well for the Denon D1000s.
So I replaced the stock cable with the Mogami and a Neutrik black and gold plug. Holy Hell!!! Many people claim a new cable changes the sound very little. Not in this case. Right off I noticed how much the treble was extended, and the mids are pulled up to right where they need to be. You ask about the bass? I dare to say it is deeper and much tighter then the stock D2000s

Not brain shaking as the Dt770s, but man it hits deep. At first I was a little scared to give it a crank of the volume. I didn't think these small Denons could handle the power it seems to have now. I was afraid I might blow the speakers

They won't blow higher end cans away but the difference is night and day.
They are 90% of the stock D2000s. As it sits now I prefer the lower end of the D1000s. I say if you are on a budget go ahead and recable your D1000s.
$15 and the D1000s really make for a killer can. (even tho stock I feel nothing in the same $ can touch them) I'll post some pics later

Wonder if the re-cable would significantly improve the D2000, let us know.

Thanks for the info. Now I just need to find somebody to mod my D1001s.

NO - that is all

Woah! Now I need to know how to recable my D1000...

My 2000's are recabled with Neutrik plug and quad braid silver plated copper, and it's the only way I've ever heard them. Don't know how they sound stock, but they sound REALLY good! I bought them second hand from a work buddy who is on this forum, but won't tell me his user name (Robert, you person...lol). He got them on Audiogon, and they were new at the time, with only a few hours of use, post mod. I've got about 100 hours on them now, just did the markl earpad mod, and holy hell, do they sound good. If anything, do the markl trick on the pads, and you'll really appreciate them even more - no more drivers sitting on your eardrum, and better spacial imaging.

Does anyone know how to recable the D1000?

See what headphoneaddict had to say about that http://www.head-fi.org/forums/4220779-post4.html.

According to him, he likes the recabled APS d2000 better than the stock d5000.

I'd like to know, as well. Looking for some new closed models to compliment my MS-1s, something more laid-back and perhaps with some extra soundstage. HD580s and D2000s are out of my price range, so this sounds very promising.

You just need ot open up the cups, desolder the connection at the base of the driver, resolder the pins, and you're done! Don't forget stress relievers on the cable where they exit the phone...lots of cable movement there.

The Ear pads Come off just like the Dt770s. You just have to pull gently, So pinch your thumb and finger together as close to the cup as you can get. Once it comes undone you'll see how it goes on and off.
The inner felt is part of the pad so it will come off with the pad. Once it's off you have two screws and thats it. Screw those off and the driver will slip right out. Very simple to do!!!

Where can I buy the cables?

 

[Citizen86]

This is promising! Especially considering I can pick up a pair of D1000's locally! Now the question is... are they going to charge me the price of the D2000 for it? LOL

I might have to go see though.... I'm almost ready for a good set of higher-end cans then the KSC75, and I think these would be a nice compliment to the almost-grado sound of the KSC75's.

Tokenganjaclan, do you use an amp with your D1000's? Right now I have nothing but a HotUSB1 on it's way to me.

 

[neodyme60]

Very promising!
