I too think these headphones are beautiful, especially the cups. I do have one problem with them though visually and I wrote Mark about this issue a while ago. The stitching on the leather pads is excruciatingly awful. You could see it clearly in the pictures and I wish there were some way to modify this problem as well. The rest of the detailing on the headphone is so nice though.

I would like to know what you think about before and after mods. Looking forward to seeing your write up

Woo Audio Makes them. Nicely made. It is steady and heavy solid Aluminium. The only problem is the part which you put on the headphone has sharp edge. So you could scratch your phone very easily.

Those pads are quite comfortable though. And once you put on you never see the stitch anyway. If they make the stitch tighter, the pad will be stiffer and lose flexibility. And this material makes stitch points more obvious than those velvety material other company use. And velvety material is harder to clean up.

As an owner of a D5000 w/ MarkL mods and a V4 Australian Bubinga cup I can and will agree w/ the OP's impressions. My amp is the lowest of Rudi's line (Sistema NX-02) but it sure synergies great w/ the Denon.
Beautiful pictures and great write up. Enjoy it.

Beautiful pictures and a good read. The wood on those headphones w/ the gold-ish jena cable looks amazing.
I'm curious about the sonic attributes of Sheoak wood, what kind of music does it favor?

Lamenthe, the Sheoak is a low-density softer wood. Very full-range with great clarity and dynamics. It's great for active listeners of high-energy music.

Thanks for the quick reply Markl. After this thread I'm starting to lean toward getting my D7000 modded now
Damn you head-fi!

RP010 takes longest to ship. 30 days to assemble and 2 days to ship.
LA7000 too about 4 weeks. Could be shorter, depend on availability of parts.
