Denon D2000 with D5000 earcups. Adds just the right amount of warmth to be intimate and enjoyable. I wonder what the D7000 would be like? I have my Fostex TH-900 but the Denons still manage to call me back sometimes.
I use it to find chain pairings that work very very well, to get a song with a source and HP that sounds better than one would suspect. I also discover music and HP and amps/odac I do not know about.
This HP is a CAL! attempted knock off. At $32 on sale it's a bargain and a worthy addition to any collection. Where the 840 stands out among my current stable, is that it has an unmeasured quality - when I listen to tracks to compare it to the 668b or CAL! I often forget to analyse but instead listen to the tracks all the way through. This has happened on several 25+min prog rock tracks (ELP Tarkus from Gold CD) and on several occasions.
I simply forget to switch over to the 668's or the CAL! to listen on 'the better headphones'.
This can has engagement and toe-tapping ability, a rare quality in any headphone.
