They are excellent for rock, jazz, classical, blues, bluegrass, electronica, just about anything I throw at them really. Now, I consider myself more of a musicphile than an audiophile, so take my comments for what you will. But I do have a trained ear (jazz studies), and there are times when I listen to frequency response from an analytical perspective, and I find absolutely no significant deficiencies with "my" headphones.

We must be twins.

my problems must be part of my source,

just a headphone out from my laptop

Wow I am glad this thread has been revived!
I am looking for a simple office setup and got the D2000 as the cans but was wondering if they need an amp (have not got the shipment yet)?
Anyone have an idea/tried these with a Darkvoice 336i, or a Figaro. I am also open to suggestions in the less than $300 range.

You can still recable with apuresound v2? Am I missing it on the website?

 

[dreamwhisper]

malldian,
APureSound is up to v3 now,
and AFAIK they don't normally put v2 on headphones as v3 is considered an upgrade.

 

[malldian]

Ok - does anyone know if I do the markl mod can I re cable later?

 

[dreamwhisper]

yup, you can recable them later,
markl charges $160 for the full mod, and APS v3 cables are $200-$250 (5-10ft.)
in markl's mall-fi there are some sweet deals on D5000's (below cost - although the cables are really long)

 

[malldian]

I think if I were to go that route I would upgrade my source or amp more first. I will do the mark mod myself and then move from there. Thanks for the help.

ive been wondering what the mark mod is? if you can do it yourself then why dont everybody do it? maybe too hard? please give more information about this

http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/how...0-mods-299627/ the mod can be done to D2000 too , cause it is identical to D5000 ( the only difference is that D5000 has better cable and wooden cups ) .

The answer to your question is yes, definitely. it is even more likely that several people will say different things about certain audio...have you talked to somebody about Bose SQ out of audiophiles centers???

Last time i did i ended up looking bad to the group, and im not one of those who say Bose suck, i just say all their products are way overpriced and competing with much much better equipment.

I am currently expecting my HD650s. I have bad sources and only bought a Headstage Lyrix Pro USB DAC/AMP, which according to Headphonia is going to make the HD650 great, and according to some will make them close to suck. If they end up being that bad (or dont cover my expectations) i'morder the denons A2000 or probably go back to the HD595s...(???)

I havent heard any comparisons between HD595 and A2000, are they really in different leagues? I only see people putting the denons next to the HD650 and 600, if they are that great the most be the best valued cans evah!!

To *me*, the HD595 is not even on the same page as the D2000 and HD650.
Further, if I could only keep ONE of these two, it would have to be the D2000.
Just does more stuff right.
But, I will always have a Denon and an HD580/650 around for variety.

I must be mistaken, thought I saw you selling a Denon

 

[HeadphoneAddict]

Okay, I see you got a D5000...

I;m pretty sure you can't recable after the markl mod. You have to recable before!

At least thats what people told me I thought?
