  Did you buy the cheap $4 chinese Denon pads, or from some authorized dealer? I can't find the 'real' ones lol

 Thanks, Happy Camper. I love it when you and preproman push me off the fence advise me on HE-6 doings. I'm now open to swapping pads

but no poodles. May need the weekend to decide which pads - Audez'e vegan or Denon pleather? Where'd y'all get the Denon's??

 
 
I got them from MarkL for $35

For the first time, I replaced the velour pads with pleather and gave them several hours of listen. I expected a noticeable narrowing in soundstage, as many folks have said, but honestly I couldn't notice much difference in that regard.
 
What I did notice, though, was that pleather had more bass slam and was ever so slightly warmer and more full-sounding than velour. Nevertheless, HE-6 with pleather still sounded a tad brighter than neutral. I think the pleather works out better with more mainstream pop/rock recordings, while velour is the choice for classic or jazz audiophile-grade recordings.

  I'll have to try the tape - I always end up aligning my Audeze Vegan pads before putting them on - I also find them very comfortable

As I said in an earlier post I am using the Audeze Vegan pads and all you need to do once you have them aligned to where you like them is put a little piece of tape on the outside of the pad to the cup--keeps it from moving around an in position...

I basically had to buy LCD3's to be able to order spare LCD3 pads.

Now that redefines the word "crazy"

  I just ordered some too! Hopefully they get here by Friday. Audeze is only 30 mins away from me.
 
If they sound better than my stock velours, it will the cheapest upgrade I've ever paid for. Sad but true...

As I have said I have tried all the Pads mentioned in these posts and have settled on the VEGAN pads...
 
By far and away for ME at least these are the best all around performer with the HE 6 & comfortable to--
 
I also tried the AUDEZE  LCD 3 pads and I still prefer the Vegans
 
By the way you can now order the LCD 3 Pads without having to own them!!

 I thought the aforementioned "Vegan" pads mentioned in the thread WERE Audez'e LCD-3 pads. Which Vegan pads are you referring to in your post?

LCD-3 pads are the soft mushy leather pads.
 
Vegan pads are velour.

So, the Vegan pads are the velour from HiFiMAN or another brand?

Micro-Suede leather free pads in the drop down menu. The name "Vegan" stuck with it for request reasons in the past.

How fast does it normally take Audeze to process an order? I want my pads!
