I finally have a few minutes to write a more lengthy post. Thanks again for everyone who came out. Thanks to Red Wine, the HiFiMen, Woo, BeyerDynamic, Beth Orliss, Audeze for supporting the community in so many ways. Thanks for all the silent auction donations, Yikes' auctioneering skills and the enthusiastic bidding and thanks to those that donated to the cause. The show will go on!
As far as listening goes, I found myself fatigued very early on. I was having trouble identifying differences especially as the day wore on. There were a few standout impressions however.
I missed the last meet spring meet and have been pretty much of a hermit lately. As such, this was the first time I had the chance to listen to the HD800 in nikongod's rig. With the Silver Ghost powering them, they sounded very good to me. Anything you would want in a headphone. Bass was well controlled, mids were full and lush, highs were smooth. A man could be happy with a headphone like that.
I also enjoyed the privilege of hearing the SR-009s in several systems. Ultimately, I thought they sounded best in Kerry's BHSE but the Liquid Lighting and WES also sounded good.
I really like the new Corvina from Red Wine paired with the LCD-3s. Very involving and musical with all the detail you could want. If I ever upgrade my amp again I'll have to consider the Corvina.
And last but not least, I had an opportunity to spend some time with the Beyerdynamic T1. IMHO, I thought these were real standouts. Everything about them works. Fit, finish, sound quality, design, it's all there.
Now if I only had $1200 lying around I'd go grab a pair.
