AKG K812 Pro
I was fairly disappointed in the AKG K812 but glad to see AKG re-entering the high-end flagship headphone market. I didn't think they were too bright, but didn't think they had the dimension that HD800s or HE-6s have. I like them a lot more than the T1 or LCD-2, but thought AKG could have...- gabbadabbadoo

Seattle Spring Meet @ BottleHeadquarters April 26,2014
The S.E.X. is a criminally underrated amp. I was down at the SF Head-Fi meet a couple years ago and it was by far my favorite for both the HE-6 and AKG K1000s. The power it produces is incredible and it just exudes synergy. You will see more benefit on the HE-6, but the HE-500 is very similar...- gabbadabbadoo

Seattle Spring Meet @ BottleHeadquarters April 26,2014
Oh, I forgot to mention, I can probably bring my Woo Wa7 Fireflies if anyone is interested. Wasn't planning on bringing it. It'll probably be for sale as well as it isn't quite the perfect match for my current collection of cans.- gabbadabbadoo

I suppose I can do it. I ship things daily. How big are they? I'm also close with the Bottlehead people so I can ensure they get give proper treatment.- gabbadabbadoo

Seattle Spring Meet @ BottleHeadquarters April 26,2014
You know, I am not positive. I believe so... I'll have to check out the site to make sure what they look like. The bass tuning is so an element with these. So far, the bass is slightly overwhelming bit I think the right amp can balance it out. I'm liking the mods and higher range so far.- gabbadabbadoo

I can bring some interesting high-end cans that people may not have heard if anyone is interested. -Mr. Speakers Alphadogs (non-balanced) -- one month old; 3D printed cups; not for sale, but willing to take offers -AKG K812 (available for sale for $1,200) -- also relatively new -HD800s...- gabbadabbadoo

AKG K812 Pro
Two completely different headphones. Some similar qualities but the K1000 is a beast of its own. The K812s do not accentuate the highs as well as the K1000s or HD800s (with proper amp). Again, the K812s are kind of a chameleon. I would say it has some similar qualities to the K1000s and some...- gabbadabbadoo

AKG K812 Pro
I got this headphone before reading much into the specific technical details. I've owned the AKG K1000s for a long time and thought it was about time that they came out with another flagship headphone. After receiving these, I was very confused why AKG would make a headphone with portable...- gabbadabbadoo

Seattle Sunday New Year Meet at the Frye Museum 01/05/14
Sweet, I should be back in town by then. I have quite a few things I can bring. I'll edit this and add to the list later. Does anyone have any Fostex TH900s or Paradox T50RPs that they plan on bringing? Would like to compare them to my experience with HE-6, HD800, T1, and LCD-2. I will...- gabbadabbadoo

Moto X... best built in audio amplifier phone?
You know, I never expected anything from my phone and had no intention of using it as an audio device, but the HTC One is really not that bad. I find myself using it randomly in the car or in the kitchen when I don't want to pump my home system. Has anyone else had this same phenomenon...- gabbadabbadoo

beyer t70 & t70p NEW!
Sorry if I haven't found the answer in the thread, but how much does the T70p benefit from an amp? Obviously, not as much as the T70 but there has to be some enhancement. Also, any good recommendations for very portable/budget headphone amps for them? <$300- gabbadabbadoo

Schiit Modi USB DAC
I am a big fan of the Magni/Modi combo for an Office Setup. I think the Modi is quite the DAC for the price and I can store both on top of each other in my little cabinet drawer. The only downfall is I have a lot of people coming over to my cube to ask me what the heck all of it is...- gabbadabbadoo

Couple of questions about the T1's and HD800's
I also get really irritated by rubbing of earpads. The wonderful thing about the HD800's is that they basically enclose your ear vs. sit on them. I have a rather embarrassing story, but when I first got HD800s I put them on backwards. That lasted actually quite a while, and i found them not...- gabbadabbadoo

Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread
Same here. I also had the 580s. I think the 580s are pretty dang close to the 600s that I almost kept those over both the 600s/650s. It's funny to see when people WTT 650's for 600's.- gabbadabbadoo

Fostex TH600 Dynamic Headphones
I've owned the HE-400/500/6 -- how would you compare the sound of the X1 and TH600 to the HE-500? As easy to drive? Also, what are you opinions on the Fostex? Seems like the TH600 just had a price drop and was wondering why that might have been. I am wondering if the difference between...- gabbadabbadoo

[REVIEW/COMPARISON] ATH-AD900X vs ATH-AD1000X vs MDR-MA900 - It's STILL over 900!!!!
I had a similar issue as you described with the AD900x; however, it seemed like this either went away after burn-in or I was about to use different equalizer settings to kind of minimize the distortion.- gabbadabbadoo
