Hey everyone, I just realized I still have a very mint condition set of D2000 cups that have been sitting in bubble wrap the last couple years. If I ever do anything with these it'll be for mold making and I'd rather someone put these on their headphones if they're currently using cups in worse condition. So, if someone wants some minty D2000 cups in exchange for their cups let me know. Send me your cups and I'll send you these. US only please. Zoom as hard as you want on these, no flaws at all.
EDIT: These have been traded!

How completely awesome of you! And hey, if you ever run across any of those little screws that hold the cup to the hanger let me know!

I'll post up in the thread here if I figure that part number out, it would be nice to have a bunch of spares of each of those screws.

I think it's this one. 9H3509500170D

 

[Scott Branham]

Nope it's 9H3419100380D. The infamous Biss2 screw I need :/

I asked before but, man I can't find the part so... looking for the little silver "cap" that goes over the infamous screw/nut on the headband yoke. I was able to get the pad rings/pom rings, but still cannot find that damn cap anywhere. If I can't find one I'll just have to find something similar I guess and replace both sides. Going to tear these down this weekend and install the smc connectors, and tinker with mods in the cups again, and MAY, attempt painting the frame black. Also, has someone confirmed the drivers are indeed the same between the d2k and the fostex th900? Or is there a tuning difference? You can get th900 drivers for 200 for the pair, and it's tempting for me to do that, as I got a d2k and wood cups for extremely cheap, so throwing 200 in to get a th900 minus those awesome cups is tempting, although I've never actually heard the th900. Just guessing it is "better" having read alot about it. Rant over

This is most likely the "cap" part you are seeking.

The site above has quite a list of Fostex parts.

That shafts will not work for the Denon D2k, 5k, or 7k. That one only works for the Fostex.

It looks exactly the same. It seems like it would perfectly replace the same part on my D5K. Since all of these headphones are actually Fostex designs, it would seem likely that the parts would be interchangeable. Maybe this is not the same part you are looking to replace, but on my headphones, it appears to be the same part that swivels each ear cup.

 

[Scott Branham]

On the Denon it is ONLY a hollow cap. No shaft.

 

[hemipowered007]

Jeez 19 bucks, nope I'll find something that works and replace both.

I see what you are looking for now.

This is the part number, but unfortunately it is no longer being made and does not appear to be available anywhere.

Hope you can find it or some acceptable replacement. Let us know if you find anything, and I will report back here is I stumble upon something usable.

Pac parts is who I was finally able to get the pom plates (pad rings) from, and I had seen the caps there, but ya, can't order them anymore

 

[hemipowered007]

Went back and wetsanded then rubbing compound out the finish on the cups again. I love working with polycrylic in coats of 10+, but it literally takes months to fully cure/harden. Finally got those SMC connectors in and installed. Went back and changed the cup.mods, and threw the alpha pads back on since now I actually have the pad mounting rings (pom plates), need more listening but sounds good for now. Now the cups are a deep mirror gloss finish and I'm loving them.

Those cups are very nicely done! I'm going a different direction with my D2000 - transferring the drivers over to a TH-X00 chassis once I find one for a good price and still use the plastic cups (traded the NOS condition cups off PETEREK for my well used and repainted stock ones) with Lawton dampening. Already have two modded TH-X00s with wood cups... want to keep the D2000 with the stock plastic cups. Kind of my sentimental nature with my decade old D2000 that first got me into high quality audio.
