Im happy that you like them. I am looking at getting a pair of D2Ks to supplement my rs-1s, so I am excited to hear them at the meet.

I'd throw away that metallic grill in front of the driver. I know it protects the driver, etc, but those metallic things are not good for the sound.

Curious. Can you comment on the differences between grill and no-grill?

BTW: I just got back from a meet today and the MD5000's sound unbelievable out of both the Head-Amp GS-X and RSA Apache. I was completely blown away with these combo's. Although I like the GS-X a little better.

The GS-X MD5000 combo did every thing just perfect together. From bass to treble and instrument separation. I was simply left in awe.

In fact I will probably be buying the GS-1 when I save up enough money.

I think that the D2000 is a better indication of what the Denons can offer. Do you actually dislike or completely detest the D5000? If it's the later than yeah, maybe the Denons are not for you, but I do think that you should give the D2000 a try.

Time to add D2000 to the list.

This thread makes me wonder if I need to send my D5000 to Markl...

Why not save hundreds and do it yourself. Recabling and the mods should only cost you about $120 at most. Unless you MUST have Jena Cables... If you don't have the tools, there are plenty of Head-Fiers here who can do the same work for far less. $120 or so to have someone else recable and then do the dynamat and stuffing yourself. Just a suggestion.

You are very right, but just a few arguments. First of all, sorry for my English, it´s not my first language. Anyway.

1) What if you are, say, a woman? (I am.) How many women can do it, are skilled enough and dare to mod? (OK another question would be, how many of them are aware of headphone modding at all, interested, or know at all about the existence of such a thing, true...)

2) Assume you are an engineer. (I am.) Doctor, professor at a university, whatever. Every hour I "waste" by doing the mods myself means that for those hours I don´t do my job. I (potentially) lose a lot of money with that. Possibly much more than the purchase price would be for a fully modded pair of headphones.

You see there can be many reasons for which people send it and let others do the job. I don´t, many don´t, others do.
