Has anyone tried this? The reason why is that I have my AHD2000 for awhile now and don't want to spend more money upgrading to the AHD5000.

You can get a pair of cups from Lawton Audio. You may be able to find some D5000 cups from someone who has upgraded in the FS forum.

thanks, is it just take off the plastic and put the wooden ones or do you have to modify something for the wooden cups to fit?

Tell Mark you have a D2000, he'll send you the ones built to fit the D2000.

Honestly, I can't tell the difference between a Lawton woodied D2000 and a Lawton woodied D5000 (Lawton woodied D2000 > stock D5000 though).

That's because there is no difference between a lawton 2000 and a 5000. The difference between the d2000 and d5000 is the wooden cups, if you put the same cups on both headphones they are the same headphone.

The d7000's do have different drivers though.

I owned a pair of recabled D2000s and eventually had the stock cups replaced with a set of Lawton Audio mahogany cups. It's entirely doable and easy to self-install (all that's required is a mini philips screwdriver). Aesthetics aside, I couldn't really pick up any major discernible sonic differences.

Cable is also different, which attributes to very minor differences I heard (not to mention the D2000 cable was a million times more annoying to deal with, although the newer cable is built like the D5K but with different wire so it's less stiff), but it wasn't anything substantial enough to declare one better than the other.

And the D7000s have the same drivers, just bigger magnets.

just found out that wooden cups cost [size=large]$230[/size][size=large]

[/size]

Yeah they're expensive. I'm not sure how much a set of D5000 cups would cost but I'd assume it would be much less. That is if you can find a pair.

Sure! It's never a cheaper way than getting D5000 straight off.

If you're talking about the Lawton cups, they beautiful and of the highest quality.

 

[socalguy124]

yeah i'm pretty sure those lawton cups make much more of a difference than the stock d7000 or jenna cable.

The cups are actually bigger/deeper and you can choose what type of wood you want. Australian Sheoak or Silky Oak(whitish color on an all black hp

) for me
