I was very interested in hearing the HD-800…so I ordered them and I received them today, and took the WA6-SE off the F/S Forum, and eBay. I'm currently listening to them with the 6SE/596/6EW7 tubes. I know this is the Grado thread, but I know some here have these headphones also. How long would you say burn-in for these headphone might be?
Thanks.

You're right Joseph, THI IS the Grado thread so go ask your stupid question about your P.O.S HD800 in the trader's, sorry, Sennheiser's thread!.
 
I'm just messing with you Buddy, personally as long as people who own other brands of headphones don't come to the ''Dark Side'' to piss on Grados, I have no problem answerring any question that they might have. That being said, I'm pretty sure that you have a much better chance of getting an answer to your question if you post it in the snob, sorry, Senns thread, kidding of course, or am I?, seriously though, I wouldn't mention that you're heart lies with of the Dark Side!.
 
This might be a good time to say that, thanks to the Montréal Hi-Fi show, I have had the opportunity to listen to many headphones, HD700/800, LCD2/3, K701, HE500/6, T1, 007/009, just to name many, and the only reason why I choose to own Grados only, is that I think that the headphones stated above, ALL, without exeption, sound very good, wich means that I would probably want to own most of them. Now, I don't have to tell you how expensive a proposition that would be, especially when you consider that, unlike Grados, wich can sound good even if they're hooked up to a Java finch's arse, some, like the Stax 009, need very high quality, cough!, expensive, cough! amplifiers. so I would be bankrupt in no time.
 
Before critisizing this post, in whole, or in part, be informed that due to a very severe Chron's desiese flareup, I am currently taking very strong pain medication, wich can alter my better jugement, this gives me an excuse, that I will not hesitate to use to justify my post content.

Awesome post.  I sincerely admire your passion and wish you the best in dealing with your illness.
 
That said, if you had added: "... and I've been drinking Scotch all afternoon..." you and I could be brothers

I totally knew you were kidding after the first few words. I was just so curious to how they sound, being a lot of people speak highly of them, plus I've never heard any other brands high end headphones besides Grado, so think of it as I'm exploring, not going to the "dark side" lol!  And there is nothing like that Grado sound signature, but like I said, just wanted to try them out. I also notice a lot of people who own Grados also own Senns. I'll be checking these out exclusively for a while to hear what I think of them after burn-in/different tube combos.
