Thanks for the review.

I echo others here in wanting to see a direct comparison to the excellent ATH-AD2000 versus D5000. I am going mad without knowing.

That may be quite a while. I'm not sure why anyome would buy both...

To have one for home and another for office rig?

I actually think Grados sound pretty decent straight out of an iPod

Well, they are certainly good enough to warrant that. A week later, the D5000's continue to impress. They remain, in some respects, the best headphone I have ever owned.

The word "backfire" comes to mind.

Man, to me, those would be the same. Natural as in, as if you were there, and a faithful reproduction of exactly that sound.

Must... resist...

I'm starting to believe that Hi-Finthen's wife isn't too far from the truth saying that you're bad influence Skylab.

Go, Go for it! Add it to the mix.

More listening with the Denons has made me feel they really like tube amps. The D5000's seem to be current hungry, and tube amps deliver current easily. The D5000 sound especially good with the ASL MG Head OTL mk III (in transformer mode).

If anyone missed it, nina posted short, haiku style comparison on D5000 and W5000

Thanks for the update Skylab...I think my incoming D2000 will really like my SQ-84 then

 

[Skylab]

Well, now the D5000 have competition from Headphile in "Darth Denons". I hope to score a pair, and compare

 

[fierce_freak]

I hope you do, too, Skylab. You're the one to get them as you already have the D5000 to compare.
