The (new) HD800 Impressions Thread
Hey all, Any fellow Sennheiser HD800 + Amarra users here? I'm wondering if anyone has tinkered at length with custom Sonic EQ profiles within Amarra. (I mostly stick with the EQ set to off... Just playing around with it.) On a side note, some recent developments on my setup... So...- persona1138

Oh goodness... I guess anywhere between $500 and $1000. I only have a handful of vinyls, but - while it's something I grew up on (in much later years fhan vinyl was popular, just loading my folks' records as a kid almost 20 years ago) it's something I've always wanted to get back into.- persona1138

Just so we can all pour our hard-earned cash into more audio equipment... I've been looking for a good turntable. Any recommendations?- persona1138

It's not cloth-covered like the stock cable, and while I prefer the tangible feel of that one, the build quality on the Green Line seems great! I wouldn't say it feels overly "rubbery." Besides, how many times am I just caressing my cables? :P Anyway, no complaints at all, and yeah... They're...- persona1138

Unrelated note... Anyone tried listening to "Einstein on the Beach" with these puppies? Totally overwhelming (in a good way).- persona1138

Quote: I'll say this for the ALO Green Cable with the 4-pin XLR addition (at least, when used with my HDVD 800)... The 1/4" stock cable that came with my Sennheiser HD 800's sounds smaller in comparison. Now, the thing I love (and find amusing) about audiophiles is that we're willing to...- persona1138

The (new) HD800 Impressions Thread
So after being delayed by UPS & Sennheiser (but - to their credit - not ALO Audio for their cables and Woo Audio for their incredibly sturdy HPS-R headphone stand), I've finally gotten my entire system, and I am so incredibly thrilled. I've got my Sennheiser HD 800's, the Senn HDVD 800 amp, the...- persona1138

Quote: Thanks for the recommendation! I'm a film and television editor, and often need to work off-site but don't want to lug around my HDVD800... Hence the need for a portable monitoring solution that offers natural (which is my listening preference anyway) sound. ...Anyway, don't...- persona1138

The (new) HD800 Impressions Thread
Hey all, So, my HD800's are almost here, and I decided to go with the Sennheiser HDVD 800 Amp/DAC for home use (which is on backorder, but arriving from Sennheiser next week). I'm also in the market for a portable amplifier to take these puppies on-the-go. I have a Meridian Explorer...- persona1138

Thanks for the tip, PleasantSounds. I wish there were an easy way for me to demo the Fireflies, but they're near (if not at the top) of my list.- persona1138

The (new) HD800 Impressions Thread
Hey all, first time poster and I apologize if my question has been covered somewhere else in this thread... I just ordered my HD 800's and I'm also in the market for a DAC/Amp to use with my MacBook Pro. Potentially a Schiit or maybe Sennheiser's own HDVD 800. I was wondering if you guys knew...- persona1138
