Dude, I can't stop laughing!
Recabling headphones is (in almost every case) a very bad joke and suitable for people that have "more money than brains" (original quote from a Head-Fi member), but having a company that is called Kraut Wire is even more funny... especially for me as a German...
My T1 will arrive soon and than I'll try to make a little review/comparison... I hope I won't be disappointed.

I used my HifiMan line out to a HeadAmp Pico as an amp. Barely enough power for the T1.
I believe Beyerdynamic's set up at CES was their A1 amp with an Onkyo SACD player as a source.

Is the price staying at $995 after general release or is it going up to its regular $1295 (or whatever price that'd be)?

Probably staying, if not dropping, due to market competition. I think the price will settle around 75% of MSRP within a year or two, just like beyer's other phones.

Edwood, what did you think of the fit 'n' finish?

Didn't have an HD800 to compare head to head. I'll probably be getting one to give it some quality time at home to listen to.

You're being evasive, man! We want ANSWERS!!!!, and we want them NOW!!!! Tell us all what to do! Tell us now!
We want to know what the experts think so that we'll know what we think we should think when we hear them, so that we won't have to wait, so that we won't have to do our own comparisons, so that we'll know whether the T1s are worth it, so that we'll know whether to post about the T1s in the 'most overrated' or 'most underrated' threads.
C'mon, Ed!!! Tell us what you think so we'll know what we think we should think!!!

You know some of us have very limited funds to throw at this hobby and have little to no access to the headphones for demo purposes. Hearing the opinions of others is better than buying completely blind, wouldn't you say? The sheer amount of ill will that is thrown around in threads like these is pretty disheartening.
