Dec 31, 2015 His mod inspired me to try it with my D2000 over a year ago. I ended up doing some different, irreversible mods on them that I wish I hadn't now. But I did like how they sounded when modded just like his. I put some foam discs in front of the driver (like a lot of my mods) to help with the treble a bit on my pair. D2000 with IFI iCAN SE LIST.One Punch Man OST - SpaceshipDaniel Pemberton - FistsCaravan Pala. This is the first preset of the Guitar Rig 5 Metal Presets Series and I am going share with you my 1st custom guitar rig metal preset, using the Van 51 amp or simply the 5150 amp.This preset can be used in a mix, as you can see in the video, but to tell you the truth it needed lots of post-process to make it work. This mod wasn't as difficult as it may seem - just more time consuming than recabling, for it requires extensive use of Dynamat Extreme (meticulously cut to various shapes and sizes) and Fiberloft Polyester Fiberfill as well as some pourous foam rubber, both on the cups and inside the driver units (especially touchy and time consuming).

Denon D2000 Damping Mods Reviews
Even totally stock these kick ass. Yeah, they are killer—like the looks or not.
Q. Will the stock deck work with heavy pickups like the Zu? Yes, just install the included sub-counterweight.
Q. Is the stock phono cable alright? Sure, but we have developed a new cable to further the fidelity of this deck, a VL-12 variant of our Mission Phono interconnect.
Q. What should I do with the stock phono cable? Give it to your local record shop, they'll find it a home.
Zu tricks, bolt-ons and other mods are in the works—the deck we've been waiting for.
And yes, like everything we sale, 60-day satisfaction guarantee, and we pay return shipping—you are literally out nothing but some time to try this deck out. Know, try it.
Parts and mods in the works:
Denon D2000 Damping Mods
Tonearm changeout base, machined, for complete arm replacement, with concentricity offset—for which arm(s) were messing with it.
Plinth/feet systems.
Sighting lights.
Spindle parts.
Phono cable (we already kill it there, but a less expensive one would be nice, a cable that makes sense, price-wise, to those that relate to a blue-collar lifestyle.
As above for a power cable.
Bearing oil formula.
More.
But like we said, even stock, for less than $2k this is the deck, get over that it looks like (is) a real DJ deck. In fact, you should dig that it was designed for the rigors of pro use, the disco looks are all bonus.
Free shipping.

Under the Hood: What’s New Inside Our Tune-Up
Our most advanced Tune-Up to date; our new process has several innovations and is a more complete and effective solution than ever for your Fostex.
- Clean and easy peel-and-stick installation
- 3 exclusive all-new advanced materials
- No metal foils or reflective surfaces
- Custom-made acoustic foam evens response and subtly absorbs internal reflections
- Apply even less material more effectively than ever
Resonance Control: Materials Science In the Service Of Sound
We searched the world looking for materials and solutions that would improve our process. Where they didn’t exist, we had them made to our specification.
Your Tune-Up Kit contains advanced purpose-made industrial materials that are extremely effective at their specific tasks. We now use less material overall than before yet the mod is more effective than ever. The result is very even-handed yet targeted at the areas that need most attention.
Space Age Super-Materials Strategically Deployed
We apply our damping materials throughout the assembly in critical areas; carefully selected spots hidden away inside the headphone, nicely out of sight. These materials are all peel and stick, no mess, and easy for anyone to apply.
We found a versatile advanced material that we now use exclusively on all the Fostex and Denon factory cups as well as inside our own Custom Wood Chambers. One of the many “space-age” super-materials to come out of the NASA program, it works perfectly in the metal cups of the TH-600, the wood cups of your TH-900, and even the plastic chambers of the Denon D2000.
To treat the crucial driver housing we discovered another new material that is more effective and easier to work with. It also has no metal backing, so there is no risk of reflections. Feather weight and stable with just the right amount of “give”.
Custom Made Acoustic Foam Banishes Reflections & Listening Fatigue
Finally, we commissioned our favorite manufacturer of acoustic foams to make us a special open-cell material to replace the bulky stock polyester batting cube that Fostex uses inside its cups. Our exclusive acoustic foam is manufactured to work subtly and evenly over the entire frequency spectrum, providing the right degree of absorption and reflection control. The result is less fatiguing highs that are present, clean and clear. Treated cups also have a more open and bigger sound.
Professional Installation Or D.I.Y.
We professionally install our Tune-Up on your Fostex when you send them in. No one has handled more of these phones, we are the Fostex experts!
