    SMSL SP200 THX AAA 888 Balanced AMP!

    It looks like part of your stack consists of the S.M.S.L SP200 & the M200. But when looking closely at said stack, the units look slightly different then mine, and I am not just talking about the color of the units. Does S.M.S.L have newer units now? I did mod my SP200 to have a golden aluminum...

    Glad to hear more honesty about Denon 9200's. And I agree with everything you said, especially how easy to drive the 9200's are. They have plenty of sub bass, mids present and warm but not overly defining, high frequencies slightly forward. Overall, a full bodied can in a closed backed...

    Yep, inflation has gotten insanely bad! Everything costs too much now days, and its not like our income wages have raised enough to go up with the inflation percentages. I mean heck, the land owner raised my rent twice in 1-year now, and in the last raises, he raised it up by a whopping 50 bucks...

    For me personally, I know that I spent far too much money for these, buying them brand new. I've been reading a lot of posts in this thread, talking about sound quality. While sound quality is indeed an important factor, for buying headphones, it is not the only factor however. I had been...

    Your very welcome Matt! :) You may share my review on Facebook, people need to know that you make great cables. They make my headphones sound delicious! :L3000: I knew they were metal, because they are cold to the touch, and I've noticed the weight as well. But to be honest, for me, the...

    I didn't have the problem with harsh highs with my Denon AH-D9200's, but this could be due to my setup, as I am running a longer chain then most folks would. So for me, I had to actually raise the highs by +2DB on my EQ box, in order to compensate for the muffled highs I was experiencing. But...

    Oooo, look what came in today. Hmm, what could it be, an automotive part for an Italian sports car? A canvas bag and shredded paper, the suspense must be killing you, gosh, I hope it will last! Are you drooling yet? I certainly was when I pulled this cable out of the bag! :yum: Option...

    I too liked your video review, I found it to be quite informative, while also taking other headphones into consideration, all be it higher price ranges. I think you went over all the details of these three can's, to explain their feature sets and performance, quite well. At no time was I left...

    HAHA, nope, I don't gift wrap for myself. I agree, that is a reasonable price for the cable, even cheaper then the prices you folks were talking about, in regards to where your price caps are for cables, for what you would be willing to buy. That shipping cost though, seems a bit high. But...

    Alright folks, I bring great news, I just made the purchase. I also made sure to leave the cable artist a message about what my setup is, just incase clarification is necessary. I also made sure to thank the cable artist ahead of time, because I recently learned how much work is involved, and...

    I love this topic about cables that we are having, because at the end of the day, when one buys a 1600 dollar headphone, it does matter to have a nice cable, not just to compliment it in how the cable makes the headphones sound, but also in the way that the cable looks, and feels in the hand...

    Well, I did manage to learn something. The original 3m Denon D9200 cable is not using a pure sliver core wire like I thought, turns out its silver plated copper, and OFC to be specific. While on that website you linked me too, I learned that pure OCC copper is much preferred for tonality. And...

    Thanks for the links, I am most certainly not going to DIY, so I am aiming for ready made cables. In your 2nd link, it showed lots of options available, and I really don't know which one of those are the best, so I just picked the first one. And then while doing the individual selections for the...

    But then again, this site is full of a bunch of wonderful enablers, and I can't help to be tempted, even though I also know that @plakat is right. lol! Before I ask this question, please note that my system is connected up using RCA connections, 22-gauge big cables, not thin wire garbage. Since...

    Anything that is made with absolute tight tolerances, is going to naturally wear in over time. Having said that, it shouldn't get so lose that the entire cups flop around like a cheap pair of can's. The hinge tightening can be adjusted, as there is a secret compartment in the headband hinge, a...

    I 100% agree with Rakyan! No matter how many advancements they make to a bluetooth protocol and opamp dac, running off a tiny lithium battery, its never going to measure up to true wired HIFI sound through a desktop amp, and desktop dac. I have a pair of Cowin E7 Pro's, a bluetooth can with 40mm...

    I am happy to hear that several of you folks are getting your Denon's. I also appreciate the positive comments as well, especially since I have been going through some things. You folks might recall that I had bought the Ultrasone Signature X's from Drop prior to buying the Denon's. The Sig...
