Anyone have ideas? I'm looking at either the newer 810 or last year's 1000 as well. Specs looks similar.Thanks.

I have the STR-DN1000. Two days ago it started going into "Protection" and then shuts off. It might work for an hour, or only 10 minutes. Anyone else with the issue? And what did you do about it?It worked great until 2 days ago. I have had it since Dec 2009.Sony STR-DN1000 7.1-Channel Audio Video Receiver (Black)

I went for the dn1000 instead of the 810, because of the GUI. Other than that I really didnt see much of a difference in spec wise. My friend has the 810 and I will be receiving mine next week.

Tough question to answer as everyone ears are different !!! One has to try it to know whether one likes it or not. But for 100$, can't complain.

I spoke with Sennheiser I asked them what the difference was and they said they were very Similar. I guess that means no difference besides the color, and of course the price. I would get the green ones I love mine.

I had a couple pair of S4's and they sounded really great. The S3's aren't as good and the S6's are too bassy. Someone stole my S4's and I am upset about that. I'm thinking about springing for another replacement pair. They matched well throughout my Mastering process in the studio. Someone can steal my S3's. haha

Hi Jessica, well my answer to your question is just a little. It's just a little better, you can hardly notice the difference in the sound. Plus you'll be paying more money for the SAD 01. Hopefully this helps.

Beyerdynamic has raised their prices across the board on all their products earlier this year. So I would not bet on it since that is way below dealer cost. Your best bet is something used. Even refurbished/used is more then that a lot of times, but would get you closer on budget.

I have no comparison. Albeit, should have purchased amplified when you compare prices. Although when I purchased it I did not know the amplified was available.

Ditto, This player brought my lexicon dc2,bridged carver amps, and klipsch chorusll's(4 of them) back to life.I had a pioneer dv05, thx, like everything else listed here,and simply cannot believe what I was missing in sound quality from the pioneer. This player could pick up a pin dropping in the middle of a pete townsend solo(doesnt get any louder than that).Yes the blueray is very good, yes the upconverting is very good, but the sound is only surpassed slightly by the denon (4500.00) blueray player.Buy it for 500.00, I paid a thousand for the dv05, Technology just keeps jumping by leaps and bounds.

I recommend that you scan some of the user reviews for both headphone sets on Amazon.com. That way you can get many versions of people's thinking on the pros and cons of each headphone. You may even find some reviews that compare the 990's to the 598's. For me, I love both of these headphones. They are as good as one can find especially considering their reasonable price. I bought the Beyerdynamic 990-Pro-250 in December 2013, and paid about $70 less than what I paid for the Sennheiser 598s which I purchased one year earlier. Since both sets of headphones are very comparable in quality and sound, I consider the Beyerdynamics the better buy. Also, the Beyerdynamics is a little more comfortable if you plan to use them for prolonged periods of time. On the other hand, the Sennheisers are one good looking headphones and sound great, just like the Beyerdynamics. If you can get the Beyerdynamics for $50-$70 less than the Sennheisers, I would recommend you go with them instead of the Sennheisers. However, I consider both sets of headphones a real bargain. I might also mention that the Sennheisers have a very long cord (about 10ft or so), while the Beyerdynamics has a much shorter coiled cord).

I just bought a pair of 10RDC's and they actually say RNC on the headband! So, I'm sure that they are all identical with the exception being the cord: plain vanilla on the RDC, microphone with single button on the RNC, and classic three button Iphone controls on the RNCIP. I'm also guessing, but don't know for sure yet, that a third party cord with controls will work just as effectively as the official Sony cord. I'm thinking of buying one on Ebay (they seem to be in the $10 range) and will report back when I find out. I bought the RDC's used for $80 shipped on Ebay and so far they are terrific. Why pay $249 for the IP's if you don't have to?!

Did you ever find an alternative to the BB2001? Funny, I just bought the im600 today, and it still had the slip in it for the BB2001. I would like to buy a subwoofer for it though, so let me know :) That goes for anybody reading this, too!

Well, I'm not THE specialist but considering my short experience with this tubes I would say it won't make any audible diference, but they have a good price tho. Most people that don't have a measuring equipment buy lots of these inexpensive tubes and just go trying them on. But I would consider buy a NOS tube or at least those ones with the golden terminals. As I said, if you are a audiophile and have equipments to mesure distortions and noise at low/hi levels you'll see diference. And try to buy the balanced ones to use as a set. Go for the New Old Stock.

is the fit of the bud of the Sonxtronic the same as the W08? I can't wear conventional earbuds and the old sonys fit great. Talk about capitalism run amok on these prices. What a dsigrace!

Truthfully, I don't know if there is a difference. All I do know is that I added the speakers to my cart when it was the Gold Box Deal on the sixth. For some reason, they left the pricing at the Gold Box Deal. Possible glitch? But if you want them, you might want to get them before they go back to the original price.

That is a great price but you have to compare apples to apples. There are different series that have different components like "glass aramid fiber" compared to "kevlar" for the subwoofer cones. Also, the amps are different and (believe it or not) the higher end speakers are HEAVIER so that they do not transfer sound waves through their bases or surrounding materials. I highly recommend that you also consider http://www.amazon.com/IsoAcoustics-ISO-L8R200-Large/dp/B009NWX2WO/ref=sr_1_2?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1378099542&sr=1-2&keywords=isoacoustics Isopacoustic monitor stands. I had "MoPads" and thought that they were good. It is downright amazing how well all of these components work. If you have the room, buy the 8's. I have the attenuators only up "3 detents" for normal use as nearfield monitors. Only if you have a very large studio and want serious thump, go for the 10's. In any amplifier, you always want to have more power than you need to use. The amps are cleaner, run cooler and last longer. Also, invest in good acoustics for your studio as well otherwise you will never get an accurate representation of your music. You may even want to visit one of my webpages at: http://aperfectdj.com/dj-corner. I am a singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer, engineer, live sound engineer and DJ. (My studio uses the KRK Rokit 8 G2's) BTW: The G2's mean "generation 2." Hope this helps.

I have the Dragonfly, and also better DAC/amps. I recommend something better than the Dragonfly with these headphones. They are good enough that you will be able to appreciate the difference a better dac/amp can make. I have the Resonessence Concero HP. It's quite awesome, and starkly better than my Dragonfly, but a lot more expensive. For a bit more than the price of the DF, you'd probably get a lot more quality if you get the Meridian Explorer, or the Audioengine D3, or the iFi. I haven't tried these three, but based on my Resonessence vs DF experience, I do know the HP50s are good enough to reveal the difference, so don't miss out by getting a low-tier DAC.

It depends on who you buy from. My product listing is the $400 retail headphone. (newest version) Henry (another reviewer) warns about buying from World Wide, then don' buy from World Wide. Mine are the actual headphone pictured and featured in current Dr. Dre commercials. :)
