WA2 + Hd800
Wa22 is better but requires alot of work for little improvement over the wa2 with good tubes

The second and most important reason I am posting -
I take very delicate care of my HD800's, but I absolutely hate the brittle mesh silver grille on the outside of the headphone. Any slight touch of the finger (especially this occurs when I let someone hear them, as they almost always seem to touch this area) and a very visible fingerprint seems to appear and is very hard to clean off. That is one slight issue, but recently I was taking out the cable and it happened to very slightly scrape the grille as they were coming out and I ended up scratching the grill. It made me so upset as I am pretty ocd, especially with my nicer audio equipment.
Does anyone know a way to fix something like that? The only way I would know how is to send to sennheiser, but ive heard they charge 700 bucks just to look at them. I could sell my pair and spend a couple hundred bucks to get another brand new pair for cheaper. What do you guys think?
Just chiming in for two reasons.
One being the recent WA2 + HD800 combo - I can say that I thoroughly enjoy this combination and love changing out tubes as they make a big difference and the right ones sound sublime. (Personally enjoy the stock a lot and the RCA 6AS7G also). Surprisingly didnt like the 5998, but that is because I wanted more warmth with my 800's.

Haha! Yea you pretty much sounded exactly like me when I first received it. Do you think a warranty would help with something like that?
Ok, that sounds good. I will see what I can find out and if not - then I will maybe go through colorware or something
Edit: Oh no! I have looked around ColorWare's site and apparently they do not have an option to customize the inner mesh grill coloring.
