To me they look cheap

Just got my brand new K702 and sounds great right out of the box Can't even think how good they will be after burn in

Maybe its time to give up on my old HD600 for the HD-800 then

Both are really good if you also get the extra Power supply

Burn the iso file to a DVD and play it in a DVD-A compatible player.

EAC or dBpoweramp properly configured to do secure rips

My vote goes to Mozart - Requiem in D minor, K. 626 Barbara Bonney, soprano; Anne Sofie von Otter, alto; Hans-Peter Blochwitz, tenor; Willard White, bass, English Baroque Soloists, Monteverdi Choir, John Eliot Gardiner, conductor.

Sorry for Massa...and Hamilton will probably be the F1 champion over the next sesons.

Some wood wax or cleaner on my RS-1 once or twice a year

Happy listening

I would say brown headband and wooden box = vintage

Bought my HD600 long time ago, and still love them. Probably stays with me forever
