Well, I have just ordered some Fostex T50RP headphones that I intend to modify. I think this incident has forced me to reassess how much I spend on my audio equipment. I need to be realistic and only buy equipment that I can afford to lose if the worst happens.   So, although I have put the...

  I've emailed Mark Lawton. Sadly he has no spare drivers that suit the task. He suggested getting a pair of TH-600's and modding them instead.   If only I hadn't had to shell out for a new boiler, car and my father's funeral the last two months. It's been quite the year already.

  Well, from what I can see after some Googling is there no readily available place to source drivers for the D7k or the TH900. Would the TH900 drivers just screw into my existing cups anyway or would it require further modding?

Well I can now confirm that the right can is definitely dead. I just desoldered the working left side and attached the wires to the right can's terminals. Nothing. Absolutely dead. So it's not a wiring issue.   The question that remains now is should I break these down and sell them for spares...

When I get the chance I'm going to try a basic rewire with some old headphone cable I can rummage out of  my junk box. Maybe it's to do with the jack end and not the can at all. Fingers crossed.

Well, the reality is, it isn't a loose wire. I've just opened the can up and checked. There wasn't any sign of pulling or bad solder on the red or the black. I've checked the circuit from the wire terminal to the jack with a digital multimeter and the circuit completes. I guess you could say I'm...

Cheers for the reply. I don't suppose you know what a blown driver typically sounds like do you? I would have expected distortion rather than not a crackle or whisper. Even pulling the headphone jack part of the way out so it goes mono in both cans doesn't seem to make it kick into action. My...

Well, I have some sad news. My beloved AHD7000's look like they have a serious problem. I was using them plugged into my iMac listening to a video at work and they were fine. Then I unplugged them I stuck them into my Graham Slee Voyager portable amp and suddenly the right can wasn't working. I...

Wow. Are you saying that the Sony EX1000 are as good as a full-size £800 headphone? Now my interest is piqued. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Hi everyone Our office is about to move from separate rooms to an open plan environment; something no one is looking forward to. For the last year I have been using and appreciating my AHD7000's at work each day, but because sound isolation isn't the best I think now is the time to get some...

Quote:   Thanks for the reply. Where would I be able to purchase these from? I'm in the UK, so they would need to ship over here.

Hi, I'm looking for suggestions for an iPod LOD to match up my iPod Classic to my Graham Slee Voyager portable amp that is easily available to the UK. I'm currently using a Fiio F7 adapter and I'm fairly certain I'm missing out. The darn thing fell apart and is currently being held together with...

Quote:   I repaired my D7000's in a space no bigger than a square foot in a space made by moving my computer keyboard up the desk. You don't need much room at all. :)

On the flip-side I feel like I own my headphones at bit more now. The hardest part of fixing the problem is getting the tools and threadlock for the job. I guarantee it's cheaper and less hassle to do it yourself too. :)

Disassembling does require the top cap to be popped off (the one that looks more decorative on top of the gimbal). I'm not sure how you would get this off without damaging the finish. Because mine fell apart on its own I was able to poke mine off by approaching from its underside, through the...

  Quote: This could well be the case. I don't have a pair so I couldn't possibly say. I even read that someone with a pair of D2000's had a "plastic screw" that had snapped. I would put a lot of money on the lack of locking cement being the cause for all these loose screw issues though...

I'll be sure to recommend these to others when they say how much they like my AH-D7000's, but think the price is mental. I'm sure most would think £100 is still too much though. I do think it's crazy that virtually everyone in the office wears headphones for at least 30% of their day, but they...

Well, what do you know. Minutes after posting my last post, I picked my headphones up and the thing began to come apart in my hands. Thankfully, I was expecting it after some of the posts I read here and was able to ensure there was no loss of screws, washers or the spring.   Because it came...

  Quote:     Thanks for this information. The seller has agreed to have them returned, (they are just over a month old after all) but I didn't want to have to pay the extra postage to do that and then wait for the things to be returned in god knows what condition and in what...

I find this last page of the screw issue quite a worry. Bought my AH-D7000 just over a month ago. The loose handband screw issue is already occurring on one side. I bought mine from an Ebay seller who says I need to pay to return them back to them who will then send back to Denon. Having to...

No, they were definitely sold as new. I have contacted the seller over these issues. No response yet, but it is a Sunday.

When it arrived it seemed to be as I would expect a new box to be. The headband had the securing plastic sticky strips and the cord was tidily wrapped and tied with plastic/wire ties. There was even wax paper over the top of the headphones when the large lid was pulled off. As far as I was...

  Hi everyone,   After reading so many gushing reviews about the Denon D7000's I finally decided to take the plunge and found a new pair of the headphones on Ebay. I'm really happy with the sound and they complement my Graham Slee Voyager amp very nicely.   However, I can't help myself...

I have a tendency to fall in love with warm, valve driven amps. Would you say this (slightly odd) setup of putting the Digizoid ZO in the way of my GS and the headphones would provide me with a cleaner, but warmer sound?   It might just persuade me that I don't need to buy Denon AH D7000...
