Today I am offering the chance to someone to snag Jupiter's penultimate creation, the JAR 800. I am only selling as I ended up with an extra pairs of these while chasing different tonalities/serial numbers. To provide a bit of background about this particular pair, this is the V2 version of the JAR 800 mod (a nomenclature that will eventually be dropped as this is now the final and only version of the mod he is offering going forward). Many of the early impressions of the JAR 800 were of the V1 version, which was remarkable in its own right, but a bit different than this approach. Think of the V1 as the ultimate version of a "fixed" HD 800. This V2 version is more of a transformation of the 800 that I would say chases the "super HD 6X0" type tuning people have longed for, but while preserving the technical performance of the HD 800.

This pair is in the 21k serial number range and was personally selected by Jupiter from various 800 serials/pairs to maximize the performance of the revisions that became the V2 version. It was actually extremely difficult for me to decide between keeping this pair or the LSN (2k range) 800 I personally selected to be modded recently based on stock performance. I wish I could afford to keep both, as they both have their strengths. The LSN one Jupiter made preserves more of the air/stage the HD 800 is known for and could be viewed as a super 600-type sound but with clear 800 DNA. The 21k JAR 800 that is for sale here is more transformed. The bass is stunning, like throw away any preconceived notions you have about HD 800 bass and buckle up. Upright bass in particular is just so darn captivating from these. This pair is more of a super 650 sort of sound, and is more intimate sounding compared to the typical HD 800 stage. The benefit is the staging sounds more natural and not at all artificial like the 800 can sound sometimes.

You will see from the photos that this pair is not necessarily a looker, so those sensitive to aesthetics should look elsewhere. Lots of paint peeling and scratches, but despite the paint quality, this is a very fresh feeling/sturdy build pair. You are not paying for the looks on these though, all about that sweet sweet sound. Plenty of life on the pads. This pair will come in a Pelican 1400 case with JAR sticker, and with an XLR cable (was a stock cable originally, but was nicely re-terminated by someone at some point). Will include a stock Sennheiser XLR to SE 1/4 adapter as well.

Asking $2200 to me via Paypal (I will cover fees and insured shipping CONUS). Those that have priced the mod, supplying a pair, and shipping back and forth to Korea know you are getting a solid deal here. A chance to own a truly unique creation from a talented craftsman at the top of his game. Feel free to reach out with any questions about this particular pair or the JAR 800 mod in general.
