I found the pads rather shallow as many had said..The pad quality is great but it feels like they just didn´t put enough stuffing in there..Lucky me the SRH-840 pads fit like a glove..Much more comfort

How are the sonic characteristics altered?

i have not put enough time through these cans to say anything bout the sound really..But as for now i did not hear any alternations in the sonics. The pads are rather equal in quality and material. Just that the 840 pads have better foam/wool whatever they stuff it with.

Onwards and upwards. The left half of the photo ( - the Cambridge player) is now for sale.

I'll post mine in 4 days, when my Q701s get here

How are you finding your 009's for electronic 'genre' music?

 

[MorbidToaster]

Since that's quite a bit of my listening (roughly 60% lately, usually more) it's important that they sound great with EDM, and they do. I was worried to say the least when I first heard them, but after spending about...30 seconds with the bass I knew I was in for a treat. Best extension I've heard, and the detail it pulls out is fantastic. Impact is all there. I really couldn't ask for more. 
 
The one thing the HD800s still take the cake at is the staging for Ambient works. It's really something to behold, but the 009s added detail makes up for the slight drop is stage width. The birds might not sound perfectly in place on my BT albums, but they sound even more like real birds, and that's okay.

Sounds pretty good, a tradeoff for more detail ditching the effort of staging by the HD800's, unfortunately I'd have to save up 3 weeks worth of pay to afford an 009 and I'm not the neutral type of person, not to mention another few grand for a well worth matching amp.

It wouldn't be happening if I wasn't planning to sell literally every other nice thing I own (including one of my Macs) to get there. It simply wouldn't be an option.
 
Don't get me wrong, the 009s staging is still the second best I've heard, but the HD800s does one that one thing better. Pretty amazing when you consider their relative prices.

Ohh...I thought you purchased the Lightening and the 009 as an addition to your HD800 + Fire combo.

 

[MorbidToaster]

Just a loaner.
 
While I'd like to keep both I simply couldn't afford it. Especially since I still need a turntable in the mix!
 
EDIT: Plus, look at that desk...There's not enough room for all of it!

Clearly you need to save up more for a bigger desk

Things I want/need
- Bigger place (I don't have room for half of my instruments anymore and treatment for anything other than mids and above )
- Better sound treatment (it's only good for vocals, it's only foam. But it does well for those thing on the wall I actually record on. Possibly some diffusers, but near-perfect LEDE is what I really want. I also have too much foam, which is why there's foam on a wall I don't play any sound towards (it's also opposite a window)).
- Better drivers from nvidia (god damnit nvidia)
- Repaint my walls (!!)
- Possibly some speakers (quads?)
- More time to do some serious recording for the album I have been working on for way too long now ()

Looking good. It does take awhile and you will probably never be "Done" since we all keep enjoying what we have and searching for more....
