I've been thinking on this a few days now.Researching a new amp for incoming HD800S & watching a review of a boutique tube amp from Central Eu the amp is,by today's standards downright CHEAP.The dealer made an bold statement he did NOT like the term entry level attached to the amp just because it was inexpensive & that the performance of said amp absolutely smokes many amps from name brands costing thousands of $ more & should be considered nothing less than world class!
This tracks right along with the main reason I choose the Sennheiser HD800S as my end game headphone.Review after review after review & the general consensus is that they are by today's standards,World Class headphones,capable of such amazing sound reproduction only a very few headphones on the planet can better them & MOST,if not all of these are much more expensive,yet at an msrp of just $1700.00 they are within reach of all but the most financially challenged among us..
Far to long has the more $ = better performance mentality dominated the audio industry& I am curious what other gear out there is considered TOTL End Game but isn't priced like it?
