    WOO-HOOOO... WA7 "fireflies"!!!

      Well said. I haven't heard the K812 so I can't comment on that particular headphone.  But my preference is definitely towards a warmer/darker tone.   Honestly, when you start talking about TOTL headphones, most of it comes down to preference.  I use my TH900 and LCD-2.1 the most, with...

    WOO-HOOOO... WA7 "fireflies"!!!

    I have the LCD3 and TH900, both sound spectacular with the WA7+WA7tp. I'd go with the one that matches up with how you'll be using the headphones and any sound preferences.  The WA7+WA7tp works well with everything I've thrown at it.

    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    I think that is entirely fair but IMO, taking the time to objectively listen to various offerings is the only way to know if one's ears can tell the difference. On the flip side of that, you've got legion's of people who experience a difference when switching.  Also, the argument wasn't entirely...

    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    What you are missing is that implementation has everything to do with an amp.  How the board is laid out, the capacity of the power supply, the quality of the capacitors, how quickly can the capacitors regain the power they just shed for the huge bass hit,  shielding from unwanted electrical...

    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    If it didn't help you understand headphone amps than you didn't read anything in the article.  Headphone amps are no different than speaker amps, heck many people will use regular amps to drive planers and other power hungry headphones. If your mind is made up, so be it but don't ask for help...

    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    This is geared towards speaker amps but is also very relevant to your questions.  Also, don't forget the Fulla is an Amp/DAC.  The DAC add's a whole different wrinkle but separate from the AMP question.   1. Is Amplifier Weight an Indicator of Robust Amplifier Design? You have to find out...

    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    I'm not the best person for all the reasons why (there are many), but I just tried switching from my WA7+WA7tp to my Meridian Explorer2 and there is no comparison.  A better amp/dac has a tremendous difference on the sound quality and the explorer is no slouch but it just can't feed the HD700...

    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    Well received my HD700's earlier today, they were a demo pair that I was lucky enough to pickup for an amazing price.  To give background on my equipment and other headphones, my favorite HP is the LCD2.1 and tied with the TH900.  I also own the LCD3, HE-500, Fidelio X2, AKG 7XX, Alpha Dogs...

    WOO-HOOOO... WA7 "fireflies"!!!

    I received a set of clear instead of black ones when I first got my WA7. I emailed Mike and was sent a set the next day. I'd contact support or Mike and I'm sure they'll be able to take care of you.

    I believe they only had a couple of demo units available.  I don't see the deal listed anymore.

    My first impressions with the sound in Bloodborne were great, however I didn't really get a chance to enjoy the sound as I was quickly dead :)
