Quote:   I think this is because the MA900 has a resistor in line before the driver. At least one person has removed it: http://www.head-fi.org/t/637168/sony-ma900-resistor-mod I personally haven't done this, and would hesitate to do so, since unless the headphones had a completely flat...

  So I'll be shipping the STAX system to the next person tomorrow, and I thought it was time to give some impressions of them. I did most of my listening using my HRT MS Pro instead of the pico. The first night I had them I was comparing my main system with the entire STAX system, but found...

Just received the STAX system. I'll make sure to post pictures and impressions later this weekend. Thanks again to Justin!   A couple quick pictures:

Quote:   Right, but that is the banner from the old dakmart website, which is definitely an authorized dealer. For Denon see the list here: http://usa.denon.com/us/wheretobuy/pages/onlineetailers.aspx What really confuses me are statements like "WE ''DAKMART'' offer an exclusive 1 year...

Quote:   I mentioned this once before in the old thread I think, but this site is not on sennheiser's list of authorized online retailers (dakmart is however), and their site seems to be an exact copy of the old dakmart website. I would be very careful ordering from them. I would post a...

  Newest addition to my rig, and also playing with a new camera.

I have an Outlaw RR2150 and would highly recommend it. They run $700 new, and the features are hard to beat for the price. It has a built in phono stage (which I haven't used, so can't comment on that), a good quality USB DAC, bass management, a good heaphone amp, and it just sounds great. I...

Ah, thanks for those pictures! I have a HRT MS Pro, and I could open it up later to check what version I have. I wouldn't be able to compare versions, but I could post my impressions for you sometime if you're interested. Also, I noticed music direct has a sale on these going on, but only to US...

I hadn't heard of the two versions...do you know how to tell which version is which? Or do you having any links talking about the two versions?

I actually own both of these headphones as well, and I prefer the MA900, so I think it just boils down to personal preference. For me the bass of the D2000 can be boomy and sound like there is resonance. I find the MA900 to be more detailed and have much better soundstage, but the D2000 can...

I agree that the build quality feels cheap, but it's actually come to be one of my favorite parts of this headphone. They are so light, and the entire design is just the minimal amount of materials to hang the drivers next to your ears. They just disappear on your head after a while, which...

Finally got my XDA-2 hooked up in my system today. I'll save more in depth sound impressions for later, but I'm really liking it so far. I'm using it as a dac and preamp replacing the preamp section of my RR2150, so keep that in mind when I post any comparisons. I'm using both a coax input from...
