If anyone gets hold of this who also has the SMSL HO200, I'd be curious to hear an opinion of how they compare. Aside from the obvious difference in power output, does the H400 share the same transparency and acoustic signature?

FYI, in the watercooler thread, @goldwerger talks about a custom 8-way amp switcher he uses.

Impressive specs, but I'm left with an important question: does anyone understand SMSL's model naming/numbering scheme at this point?

I recently visited a few schools that teach audio production, and the labs/studios for student use always seem to have a bunch of battered-but-still-working AKG K240s hanging around.

Dibs!

I wonder if any of the outtakes involve fistfights between Sting and Copeland, which were apparently a not-infrequent occurance by this point of the band's career.

Where?

I recall someone on these forums talking about how they added a bass-shaker to their headphone listening chair, and were pleased with the result.

Mini indeed. So far it looks like 5 people engaged in this thread.

Well the SASH Tres definitely did a worthy job during my Dope Lemon listening session. Now it's time for another round. I'm planning to listen to this: Which of my headphones would you choose: SASH Tres 45ohm Monolith M1570 Beyerdynamic DT-880 600ohm Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7b Sennheiser...

Thank you for confirming my inclination to just stay (happily) in the $500 headphone range.
