If someone wants to sell Final Piano Forte viii, ix, please write to me PM.

Does anybody use the E2000 with alternative eartips?

The stock tips do not fit well for me. Thinking about using spinfits instead.

I'm not 100% sure if the sizes fit though...

I've got a refurbished set of FAD Adagio II (which I understand is one of their entry-level models) on the way for €20. How are the stock tips and should I consider getting foam ones or something else?

Thank you!

That would be lovely!

Lucky man!

Also been using brainwavz angled pads on the pandora hope vi. Been really enjoying them,, help open the soundstage, make the sound very clean and balanced while retaining the bass impact. Also got these babies

These are so beautiful.

I recently got the E series tips from Final (Absolutely Stellar customer service) and love them.

I was wondering if anyone knew what other models they offer have a wide bore. Something reminiscent of the spiral dot or mandarins?

These are so beautiful.

Yes they are beautiful but they sound even better. To me, they are one of my price possession among all the headphones I have. Because of them I loose the urges to pick up the 64 Tia Forte and the Audeze iSine i4.

Oh man, I fell in love with the D8000 during CanJam.... Not so much in love with the price tag though....

Picked up the e2000. Really impressed with them.
I had purchased the KZ ZS6 preorder for a similar price and much prefer these. Yo can argue the ZS6 is more detailed with its quad drivers but I found it way too treble hot.
The E2000 are so clear and smooth to listen. A very calming but coherent sound. Proves how good tuning is more important than technical abilities.

I read elsewhere the D8000 ($3,799) is the first of a series with one more expensive coming next year and a few less expensive coming this year. I bought the Utopia several months ago and I’m very happy with my purchase, but having a planar stablemate in the guise of the D8000 sounds appealing. The bottom end is supposed to be unlike most other planers, extended and powerful. I like that.

So does anyone own both the E2000 and the RE-400? I have the latter and like them, but I'd like something with just a bit more bass kick and from what I've read the E2000 seem like they might be the ticket.

^ I would also like to know a FAD RE-400 upgrade.
