    7ryder, no I did not get to compare cables...I didn't see the stock cable around.  Since it wasn't WyWires or HiFiMan's booth (HiFiMan loaned them the headphones but they were in the hotel next door) that wasn't surprising.   tinyman392, nice job on the color correction, that looks right.

    To tell you the truth, I didn't notice the yoke difference, but it does look that way in the pictures.  I did notice that the 400i plastic trim looked pretty shiny.  I didn't really listen to that headphone.

    I got back from the Newport show late last night.  It was a pleasure to speak with Eric from HiFiMan's NY office on several occasions on Sunday at the show.  I think Fang must have left for home by then.       The HE-560 on the left is the reddish finish, the middle phone is the lighter...

    I just decided to drive down to the Newport show, and take my pre-order 560's with me.  If anyone wants to meet up with me on Sunday to do a comparison with the new version, send me a PM.

    Here is a little information on the macassar ebony veneer used in the new version, from wood-database.com:

    News flash:  the HE-560 IS waaaay cheaper than the Abyss.     Since no one here has seen the final production model of the HE-560, only pictures, I would reserve judgement.  It's a given, though, since not everyone likes the same thing, some people will be unhappy with it.  Such is life.  ...

    My pre-order HE-560 has over 200 hours on it now, so I thought I would give some further comment.  I had originally planned to buy the LCD-X after borrowing a pair for a few days and then comparing them to their sister headphones at a meet, although the weight did bother me some.  When I read...

    I just received mine today too.  I agree with tinyman's excellent review, after running them in for a few hours.  I am quite happy with them so far.  I wore them for a bit over an hour and found them pretty comfy, and not at all heavy.  As far as the wooden box goes, I was not expecting it so...

    That's a really great system! I hope you can find a buyer that will buy the whole system. There is a lot of work that goes into getting the synergy working at a high level, so hopefully you will find someone that recognizes that.

    Hi Stoney,   I'm not sure we've met but our paths have surely crossed as we are both in the bay area and both of us have attended many local events.  I was struck with what a great attitude you have toward dealing with your cancer.  There is not much you can do about the cancer, and it seems...

    I didn't get a chance to listen to it, it seemed like his table was always very busy...he had some nice cans there too.  But fortunately, I won the software at the raffle!!!  I'm mac only so I'll have to wait about a month for the OS release, but I'm looking forward to it.  I would be interested...

    I just spoke with Crashem and have taken up his generous offer to pick up his LCD-X as well as the Hugo amp if it is ready, and bring them to the meet for everyone to hear.  FrankCooter, I'd love to bring it by your setup and compare against the LCD-3, and get your opinion and from others about...
