Looks nice.  Very similar to the knob on my WA6SE. I'm a sucker for big volume knobs.  It allows for very fine volume adjustments.

You're forgetting a Blue Hawai electrostatic amp to power that headphone :P Also might need a DTS/Dolby decoder for connecting that Smyth Realizer A8 to anything other than a PC. I d say it'd easily exceed $10.000. Maybe nearing or already exceeding $15.000 if you account for transport...

Quote:   HD800 + WA6SE. Can't tell you how hard it was to make the choice.  Left a crater where my wallet used to be.   If anyone ask is it worth it... maybe I'll get back to you after the break in period.   Details are just...phenomenal.  Sound clarity is soo good... I can...

IEM for gaming is something I really don't think works that well. I have a Westone UM3. Very comfy to wear hours at a time. Sound quality is superb, but bass is... well... lacking.   The only way I can position anything based on sound is when I'm "running". Basically trying to...

Quote:   I think that would depend on the couch/bed's size and weight. I can't imagine it being good for the frame though.  The frames are not exactly designed to be shaken that often. If you have steel frame on the bed it's a different matter though.  Just might still leave a mark on...

Quote: Are you sure about this?  I don't see anything on surround sound emulation in the documentation of my Denon 3312 (last year model). Haven't tried it though.   Edit:  Never mind, just rechecked some websites on it. You're right.  It should have some sort of virtual surround for...

Is there any way we can compile a list of AV receivers that have dolby headphone feature? The feature used to be on every receiver, but in recent year, more and more manufacturer ditch it for some reason. I suppose to save some cost on licensing it.   Having a receiver as dolby headphone...

Quote:   This is why we need devices such as Realizer A8 to accurately calibrate the frequency responses.  Basically it needs to take 2 measurements: 1st is measuring home theater room frequency responses, 2nd it needs to measure headphone frequency responses (they're using...

Another quick question here.  Hope you don't mind. :)   I read practically everywhere here in the head-fi forum that using amp would impart some sort of sound signature (bass, soundstage, trebble, sibilance, etc) to the output of the headphone.  Even more so with people who's using tube...

Let me make it into a concise question here.   For those of you who already have a high end headphone (HD650, HD800, LCD2, LCD3, T1, etc), do you/ would you use em for gaming? If not, could you enlighten us as to why?
