If so, would you do it again? Why?

Who did it and how much was it? I'm not looking for info on other mods (layton, for example) just re-cabling.

Thanks for any info.

No one has recabled D2K's or D5K's?

Who is keeping all these 're-cable your headphones' people in business? They gotta eat, ya know.

It seems like everyone who has an HD650 or similar headphone has it re-cabled. I don't think that the Denons NEED re-cabling.

Most people re-cable if they want a balanced connection, but some re-cable just to get a better cable. But the Denons already have the necessary wires, so if you want a balanced connection you simply have to re-terminate the end.

I have two D2000 recabled. The first one I did was with APS version 2 with Furutech 1/4" plug. Since then I re-terminate them to balanced.
The second one (which I have for sale in the forum. Search for Cocobolo in the headphones for sale forum to see pictures). is recabled with Enigma Audio Oracle 2 balanced.

The cable on the D2000 is inferior to the D5000. I used to own the D5000 and never re-cabled them and now I own the D7000 and just re-terminate the stock cable to balance.

IMO performing a re-cable on the D2000 will improve the sound and will bring them closer to the D5000 and if you change the plastic cups to wood they can be better than the D5000 since the rest of the components are exactly the same including the drivers.

The stock cable of the D2000 is not very good so yes I would recommend a re-cable job with a better cable.

Does anyone sell wood cups for the D2000, or do you have to go the whole markl routine?

Lawton Audio sells the wooden cups separately for 229. You would install them yourself.

A friend of mine made the Cocobolo ones for me.
