If you don't follow the HE-400 threads too closely, I should tell you that you can't get Rev 3 anymore and that it was recalled.

This review will surely serve as a reference for some time to come. All the superlatives are used up, but an incredible, extraordinary effort David. Nice to hear your high opinion of the HD600. I like them a lot myself. Again, man, great job and thanks.

RIght now I'm spending time with the stock pads since this is how most people will hear them initially. I will spend equal time with the velour
post #1408 of 379811/28/12 at 9:13pmThat's like spending half the time with HE-6 using a portable amp. Did you review them like that?
