The (new) HD800 Impressions Thread

The (new) HD800 Impressions Thread
Took the plunge and purchased a HD800 yesterday.After just one evening of listening paired with my Bakoon HPA-21 I am floored.There are many reviews singing the praises of this match, and now I know why.- Soned

Audeze LCD-3 Impressions Thread
Apparently Audeze changed the yokes in order to lighten them up, the trickle down effect is all these crooked headphones.I already had another pair sent, same issue, it apparently happens while being shipped.I'll be sending these back and getting another pair in a few weeks as Audeze has seen...- Soned

Audeze LCD-3 Impressions Thread
And now the bad news.This pair might be the worst case of "crooked headphones" I have seen, and this is after I specifically requested they be checked for this very issue prior to shipping I'm in total disbelief.- Soned

Bakoon HPA-21 headphone amplifier
I also got the "full Monty" on my Denon.Listening this week has me thinking how unappreciated they have been, or maybe they have hit a new level matched with the Bakoon.I love those new cups over at Lawton, but changing from the unique Fostex cups would be difficult.I do like the idea of...- Soned

How do you find the modified TH900? I've been considering a recable, but maybe I should consider the Lawton mod- Soned

Match the HPA-21 with the (Lawton modified) Denon AH-D7000,and you have a basshead's wet dream.I have been listening to that match exclusively the last week, and it's something to behold.- Soned

Audeze LCD-3 Impressions Thread
I agree 100% I felt the same "What have I done" when first listening to my LCDXC.Maybe it takes the ears a period of adjustment, because it is a presentation unique to Audeze.- Soned
