Nice! Let her have a listen...maybe she'll understand!

Where did you order it from ?

Well, bit the bullet and pre ordered form TTVJ!.... Will be one expensive birthday present!

Just picked up T1 from Fedex. I was suprised that T1 is smaller then Pro900. First impression was not such an awe as HD800, but after couple hours I like them more with clasicall music. HD800 was to light and airy for me. To me Edition8 and Pro900, still sound better for rock.

One more observation about T1, had to crank up Phonitor up to 12-3 o'clock with older cds. New one, up to 11 o'clock. HD800 used to be about 10 o'clock.

It means T1 need higher voltage gain than HD800,but not always refer to harder to driver.

600 ohm not easy to drive.

I'm still interested in more detailed info about how classical music sounds on these. Large scale especially. And opera. Well it sounds like detail and sound staging is strong; how is tone and texture handled? Like on horns and triangles? And complex passages? Large dynamic swings? Are they life-like? Sorry to push the point about classical music except that I'm so curious. I know more impressions will filter out as the T1 finds their way into the wild. Sounds like early March for a lucky couple of you.

Classical on T1 is very impressive. Particularly orchestral and choral music, because this headphone possess extraordinary talent to built perfectly clear, expressive, exact and dynamic image of very big and complex musical images.
Very important here is high volumes lack of distortions – just phenomenal.
Another important thing is very good timing. This is most speedy headphone I have ever heard. In consequence all musical images are extremely clear and dynamic.
The third and even most important thing is holographic scene. Really holographic, not so called holographic. This scene is not very big and rather narrow, but all in front of you, very deep and first of all exclusively tree dimensional, what is not visible since first minutes, but after a few days come to you with shockingly obviousness. This tree dimensional way of presentation is certainly fantastical with all kinds of music.
Less impressive T1 side is human voices reproduction. Very good, even splendid, but in direct comparison with AKG K1000, not so phenomenal.

When the T1 burn in more than 800 hours, you will find T1 becomes very easy to drive; personal use Kendwood D9EC or SONY PCM-D50 can be driven directly T1, and both can get a great sound.

And at 10000 hours, you don't even need to plug it in to anything to hear beautiful music.

 

[spartan123]

LOL, good one

Saw and got a quick listen at CES. $1295 MSRP. Not cheap, but look good and sound damn nice.
