I just might make this, no real headphone gear to share. Happy with Parasound zpre and both 80ohm and 250 ohm. Very difficult to setup in my desk. But put me down for a strong yes. Thanks

Well...  come on down Bobby and lets congratulate the real winners here...the contest "owners"....   What you(and the rest of us) have won is a bucketload of spam for the next several years as they spread your information around.   What I really love is how they told everyone who the...

Wait....you can SMELL conspiracy???  I hear Napalm is much more popular....:)  Sounds like you do "quite care" as you hope to burst on to the YT scene with a fantastic review of the FREE headphones you got(a bit biased, no?..but it happens all the time).  Welcome to the inner sanctum of the...

"Someone" is going to win....probably someone that can write reviews very well.  And someone who probably already has the 800s or at least the means to buy them outright.  This was a marketing info-gathering "scam" from the beginning....  Welcome to Capitalism 101...  their ONLY interest is...

It is pretty neat the way they can dangle a pair of 800s and get you to give up all kinds of information, and even reward you with more entries(better chance at "winning") for getting your friends to sign up themselves and their friends; and so on and so on....kinda like an info gathering...

Nope, but thanks for the heads up...I have few other threads that I am reading though; trying to catch myself up...but will add that to the list.  Really dont need another project right now, and I am content with current setup...though it is a bit noisy ATM. Also have some dirty drivers, pet...

So I take it(and obviously and selfishly havent searched), that there arent too many ultra high impedance headphones available today?  ...if there were, there would probably be little reason to "chase" a pair.... specifically related to using speaker amps.   Finally got the CJ tube amp hooked...

  Well she obviously has TREMENDOUS taste in HEADPHONES!!!!!........  At least one other band mate too!  Eyebrows are kinda scary, but nothing I havent seen before...interesting voice worth noting.  Thanks!

Thanks..."discontinued" just means searching a little longer...lol.  So I take it there wasnt really that much sonic beneifit?   Well I chose the 770 because it is closed back and isolates pretty good both inside and out: from what I know the 880 is a "semi open' design.  As I share a...

Part One... So in your opinion, do the "super" high impedance phones "sound" better: do you have a good baseline to judge that from(a similar pair with lower, more common impedance)?   I ask because I have the 80 ohm version of the Beyers and though I know that the 250 ohm isnt that much of a...

Might be useful in "purposely" tuning open or semi-open headphones....I dont know about this particular application, but if you are modding anyway, might need to change the amount of "openness" especially if you go as far as custom cans for the drivers that might have more or less internal...

  Just a thought...careful how much you paint those grills.  I know it sounds silly but paint build up can easily decrease the size of the tiny holes, effectively changing the tuning of that "open" headphone.   LOVE the mods though!!!

Turn off all the lights and close your eyes...."cheap" entertainment.   

Thanks for all the info guys.  Alot to digest and mull over.    About bridging amps...there are always trade offs.  You may get twice the voltage, twice the current, but like you said 8ohm is as low as you can go.  Of course the actual impedance changes "real-time" with the source material and...

Guess I will have to go ahead and .........and sign up for this giveaway,  I have always wanted to hear the 800's; good thing I KNOW that I am going to win....     just been dying to use that horse emoticon.  :).
