All your listening sessions with the HD800 have been single-ended, right?

This is now the second time I've heard it, the first time in a much smaller meet, both times with my own source...and it's as impressive as ever. I'm absolutely buying one the first chance I get. I'd suggest actually listening to one before deciding how much you'll pay and how long you'll wait. At any rate, the used HD800's you're looking for won't be mine! |

Right now, I am living in Mid-fi anyway and appreciating the more budget audio for what it is. "Budget" being a relative term. |
