  This is a bundle of musical enjoyment for me.  TT just came today.  This is my 3rd round with vinyl!  I've missed it for a while now.
 

 
Nice setup!!!

  After a year my paint is undamaged, so I cannot say.

Had mine over 2 years, paint still perfect.

Treat them right and they will last....Of course so great cables help too.

Hmm...all the tales of chipped paint got me all paranoid.  I treat mine as if they were filled with nitroglycerin. 
 
Perhaps Sennheiser  changed the manufacturing process and the paint is more durable now????

I treat mine really well too.
 
The grey outer ring mesh is super delicate and easily shows any light scratches or fingerprints.. (too delicate to be exposed imo)
 
Other than that, I cant see any wear and tear showing with careful use.

I had that combo! What was that around 1983? I had a Dynavector Ruby too....I am waiting on a new stand before unboxing...Probably next weekend to fire it up. I did get to watch it being set up and we played 1 song to test everything before loading it up for the 300 mile drive home.

Yes, it was 1984. What torture it is to have to wait, huh?

I put the box in the other room so I don't have to look at it....I can't wait to fire it up with the HD800's!

If Sennheiser were to bring out a HD850 what would you want from it?

Interesting, what would the planar tech bring to the party? More authoritative bass?

 

[preproman]

A rich mid range..  IMO

A rich mid range..  IMO

I think that sometimes , but then the HD650 has that and I find it to 'forward' , so I don't know if it would work and allow the soundstage to remain intact?
