Markl,
As you know I have the APS V2 cable on my D2000 and have been very happy with that, until I have spent time with the MD5000 review sample these past three days. If I buy just the medium/high density wood cups and have you do the markl mod on my D2000, can you make mine sound like your D5000? I need the extra midrange detail and soundstage that mine are missing.
For example - Listening to Gary Karr Super Double Bass (fimpressions.com) in XRCD, my D2000 push the upper tones of the strings into the background and pull the upper bass and lower mids into the foreground; so I could not clearly hear the rosin in the bow against the strings or feel like I was really there, but the MD5000 did it as well as my Koss ESP950 stats - with the added benefit that the pipe organ was also more present than with the Koss.
PS: I'll have my review up this weekend.
