They changed it because so many people complained...or just realized a bent coat hanger for a 2k headphone was stupid.

Is the TH-900 the best closed headphone money can buy at the moment?

 

[MorbidToaster]

Yes.

Thanks MT for the quick response. 

 I just had a fleeting dream recently about having closed headphones, and now that a severe storm just rolled over Houston, I felt like having closed headphones. I couldn't listen to my speakers or the HD 800 (or any open headphone for that matter) when that thunderstorm was going on.

Just listen to something with a storm in it.
 
We got that one, too.

Best dynamic headphones money can buy, IMO
Much better than the HD800's on my rigs

While I'll take my HD800's over the TH900, I do think they're the best current production closed headphone and the best that I've heard. Until I've heard the R10, I wouldn't dare to comment there, but I don't think it's really close when you're talking currently in production.

Very nice rig! How are you liking the TH-900/V200 combo?

I like it so far but really haven't had enough time with it. I got a bunch of new things lately I can't really post impressions but the best thing I can say is the V200 is dead silent. I couldn't stand plugging the Fostex/denons in and hear background noise or hum. I want to get the HD 800 so I can really test out the V200 vs Mjolnir, and see where I go after that. The GS-X is just too expensive for me, I'd rather have a few headphones that excel at different things than go nuts on one system. The TH900 sounds good out of anything, but I'm very happy with the synergy of the V200. Still great soundstage out of a closed can even though some say the V200 has a narrow soundstage, bass is tight not bloaty at all, treble is just where I want it. It can't handle midrange like the LCD 3. Happy with what i have now though. 

 

[MorbidToaster]

Agreed on bolded part.
 
I also assumed CURRENT PRODUCTION headphones. I've never heard an R10 or Stax 4070.

That looks like a monitor stand from ikea.

Yea i just bought the legs from ikea and cut and sanded a nice piece of wood. I have these little shelves all over the place they look great imo. They make those legs in 4",6", and 8" length.
