Modded DT 990 review

[Chrysanthemum]

Well we have all read reviews about the new Beyer?s, namely the DT880?s and the DT990?s so I won?t boar you with more dribble other than to say that I am a Beyer fan and like the new ones even more than the old ones. My review of the DT 990?s would be very positive.

What I do want to comment on is my ?re-cableing of the DT 990?s. I used two 10 foot lengths of Mogami pure copper cable (shield and vinal removed) to put two 22ga. leads to each terminal for a total of eight wires used. I did it in a ?Y? configuration and drilled a hole in the other cup as opposed to running a length through the headband. No other mods were done.

The end result: The sounds explode fourth. It?s a pretty good increase on all fronts but mostly in the bass frequencies. It was very noticeable and well worth doing. I was a little disappointed in hearing the stock 2006 DT990?s for the first time. But now they reign supreme IMHO.

With all these good responses regarding about the DT990, I'm starting to think the DT990 might be a better choice than the K701 I ordered a few days ago. We'll see how it turns out.

Cheers,
