TH-X00/TR-X00/E-MU Teak/Denon biodynamic general discussion

How does it sound with stringed instruments and orchestras

Timbre wise it’s very nice, pretty organic sounding. I think the presentation might be a bit intimate for some but I think it would preform fairly well

Here’s a few links for detachable cable mods for the TH-X00’s:

Thank you I’ve seen some, it doesn’t seem difficult. But I’d really like run them balanced.

Wouldn’t cutting into the baffle like that affect the sound?

Finally received my cups today. Marbled East Indian Rosewood.

Here’s a pic:

I know the feeling. :laughing:

what improvements did you notice over the stock cups? I just got into the world of Fostex and was curious about the Lawton’s.

I couldn’t tell you, as I just received the cups today and don’t have the headphones yet!

I’ll be ordering the TH610’s next month, pending Coronavirus shutdown.

I’ll be sure to post my thoughts/impressions of both the stock 610’s and the fully modded Lawton’s (I will try and keep the 610’s stock for at least a week and give them some solid listening time after a few overnight burn-ins).

Thanks. I like em’. Now I’m just waiting to here how they sound.

Hello,
What for Stage in Lawtons Towel you have selected?
It look beautiful :grin::+1::v:


This Accessory house arrived for my TH-X00. Terrible, destroy completely the sound. Half the bass gone and treble way up ( even with the dekoni rings).

That sucks. But now we know. :man_shrugging:t4:

Maybe try making your own rings out of a thicker plastic like the lids from tins if Ovaltine. I’ve heard that thicker materials bring the bass up more.

Oh, nevermind. I just noticed those are perforated pads. I have not ever heard of anyone liking those for X00s.

Yep. Terrible pads for the TH-X00

Maybe the Suede ZMF would be more in line with the sound you’re looking for.
